So I bought Ultra Pro Comic Boards

[dupeofadupe-migration]

Without knowing the size of actual comic books i bought these boards which are sized as 6.75x10.5. In length they are just fine but they are wayy too narrow.

 

What size should I have bought? theres also 7x10.5 but they are called silver age sized. Mine were called Current Size which i thought would work.

thanks for the link. Is there a size/thickness you recommend? I dont know the diff between 7" vs 7.25" and 1.42mm v 4mm

Is your complaint about the boards that they are too narrow for the books or that they are too narrow for the bags? I use 7 1/4inch bags with a 7 inch board, but a 7inch bag would be fine with the 6.75 board for modern comics.

[dupeofadupe-migration]

the comics themselves, they are a bid more narrow. Ill just go with 7.25inch boards and bags to be safe

[shadroch]

If you try to use 7.25 boards with 7.25 bags, you'll end up with a mess. Boards should be 1/4 inch smaller than the bags for best results.

perfect, thank you

You need this thread:

For moderns, I'd recommend 725 M2's for bags and fully-buffered 700 FB's for boards.

The problem with the Ultra-Pro boards is that they are coated solid bleached sulfate, where only the thin coating is alkaline. 98% of the mass of the board will become acidic fairly quickly and contribute to the aging of your books. You should stick to a buffered throughout board such as Gerber or Bill Cole for books you wish to preserve.

 

Are "acid free" boards really acid free?
