Patron: Is it safe to store a comic book in a bag or container made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?

Dear Scott,

 

...

Avoid all plastics that have fillers, coatings, or UV absorbers.

Interesting...The eclipsepaper report (I think it was that one) mentioned that a UV screen was detected in all holders they tested, including CGC's. Yet Steve once told me months ago that the CGC holder does NOT have a UV screen. So two questions come up now: does it or doesn't it? And if so, does the LOC response indict that as a poor feature of a CGC slab, showcase sealer, etc.?

I think you might be confusing the Barex inner well (the part that actually touches the comic) with the outer plexiglass/plastic, which may or may not have UV screen protection. I had always thought (though I don't recall where I got the idea) that the outer CGC shell had some UV protection.

My pulse never went up a beat Joanna. Not a beat.

Can you prove it?

 

How about a graphic showing the changes in the heart rate during the "heated" exchange!

You know, with that avatar, I keep thinking that I'm reading a Clark Khaos post.

 

I've switched it to Xena. Is that better?

Xena

Joanna:

 

Yes. A somewhat disorienting change so soon after the other one, but definitely better. At least now I won't be confused while reading your posts because I can't find the sarcasm.

According to you chart , it took you roughly 1 minute to "look" at the pictures of Asia. Not very impressive.

It took me one minute to download them all to my hard-drive, and blow them up in Photoshop.

Let me introduce you to my Freestyle Runners Heart Rate Monitor. Keeps middle aged runners from training themselves into a stroke.

 

 

 

Looks like bondage equipment
