Is there a clear backing board availabel?

[drbanner]

Hmmmm...I wonder what a search on "clear backing board" would come up with - oh look - "Clear backing boards" for sale!

 

Hardly anyone seems to use the search feature. Hence the weekly threads on Bill Cole and E Gerber.

 

I agree - .

Ultra-Pro top loaders work well with Marvel Giant-Size comics. Put one in a mylite sleeve first, then into the top loader, and you have a archivally safe, rigid, fully-viewable comic.

An archivally safe, rigid, fully-viewable comic which doesn't fit into most comic book boxes. Those top loaders are rather wide, aren't they?

Just use magazine boxes. Silver age mylars don't fit into regular boxes either.

That would great if you had a really tiny collection of comics.

Boy, I do miss those acrylic comic screwdown slabs. I thought those were a great idea, and I stocked up on a bunch before they ended production years ago. More protected than any other slab out there, for simple display and handling.

Top loaders are 7-1/2" wide, so while they don't fit into the skinny current-size comic boxes (most 4 mil mylars don't either), they do fit the silver/golden size comic boxes - for example size C-13 from BCE:

Looks like a doggie-door.

Hey now! There's nothing wrong with the Fortress. (just as long as you don't overscrew the screws down into the comic)

 

Insert overscrew joke here __________________.

I was at a comic auction last year that had a few of these (with comics in them) for sale. I recall they were graded by Pacific Coast or something like that, PCS maybe? Anyone familiar with that company? In any event, the comics came slabbed in the screw-down holder and a two-sided grading sheet came separately. I believe the comics were graded on a 100-point scale with the defects noted on the sheet.

 

During the preview, my friend Stephen and I made the auction house give us a screwdriver and we took them apart to get a better look at the books!
