Bag's-n-Board's

[STLSPIDEY]

So who else just has to replace the one's that the comic came in?

No matter what I put my comic's in brand new one's as soon as I can.

Theres nothing wrong with the bags and boards my comics come in so that would seem like OCD behavior for me to do that. If it was a hot comic or board was damaged in some way maybe....

+1 Absolutely. As soon as I get them home I immediately replace the bag and board. Never, not once, have I left them in the original bag and board.

personally, I like a snug bag and perfect board so 9 times out of 10 I replace a new purchase with fresh ones. Nothing aside from tape on a book bothers me more than wrinkled flaps or corner dings.

In most cases, if a comic is bagged and boarded, I left them that way unless either was screwed up in some way. The general belief that old bags can damage a comic is just that. A belief. I have comics that have been in bags for 30 years and still look like the day they were bought. The replacement of bags/boards methodogy is just to needlessly make you think you need to buy new ones. Time has made that a mote point.

I prefer mylar and hate sticky bags. So most of the time I do.

[CAHokie]

For some reason, I was thinking new comics. I was like, why would I replace a bag/board on a comic that just got put in there two days before I got it.

 

If we are talking older books/back issues, I am likely to change it unless it looks brand new.

I don't get it.

The plural of bag is bags. The possessive is bag's

Ditto for boards.

At least you didn't use Zs

[hermster]

my OCD commands me to re-bag!

[makeminemego]

Re-bag immediately upon arrival, after I perform the obligatory page count.

[FineCollector]

I've slacked on this lately. Before I used mylar, I used to rebag and board everything. Nowadays, I put everything pre-80's in mylar when it comes in, and anything else goes into its box as-is for rebagging "later."

[oakman29]

As soon as they come in I replace the bag and board with a mylar, place it n a top loader.

[GM8]

I only replace bags and/or boards that appear old, yellowed or damaged. Otherwise its a waste in my opinion.

Most of the time I do the same (replace them) although occasionally Midtown surprises me with good ones. I almost always replace when I'm ordering off of eBay.

Oh my bad punctuation.

I never was any good at that.

Sorry.

[Batman1fan]

I'm pretty sure I have a least a mild case of OCD; my doctor says I don't, but......my way less educated opinion begs to differ. Every comic I own is in a Mylite2 Mylar bag with a Full back acid free backing board. So yes, every comic I buy, unless it's already in a Mylite 2, gets a replacement bag and board.

 

[STLSPIDEY]

Well other than this little thing my OCD is under control now.

I used to be pretty bad with some things.
