Lowjack Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hi there, does anyone of you know a store selling CGC mylar bags in Germany or Europe? I could order them from eBay US but mostly the shipping rates are higher then their selling price... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry3204 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just so I am clear, are you looking for true MYLAR or do you mean the poly bags that CGC comics arrive in direct form CGC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowjack Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Preferably true Mylar bags which fit the current CGC slab size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread about this about a month ago concerning the best bags to store CGC slabs in. It was in Comic General section area I believe. Not 5 minutes ago I slid a slab into a mylar and it split halfway down one side. No, I do not know where the "mylar" bag came from or who made it. In that thread I posted that I thought the mylar was less flexible and more brittle. Maybe someone should do a pull test vs poly bags or maybe I am just careless. Sorry, I didn't really answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the bag was a cheaper version of "mylar" that was not really biaxially-oriented (polymers all lined up with each other in 2 orthogonal directions like east-west and north-south). Maybe it was PET instead of BoPET. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/BoPET Just a guess but a sharp object could easily split/cut a thin plastic that has all of the polymers pointing in one direction (think of splitting wood with the grain)... But not so easy to split a thin plastic if it has "grains" in multiple directions. -------------- Ture Hoefner Edited January 11, 2019 by Turnando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burn1 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 ebay or amazon is most likely your best option, make sure you buy direct or from trusted 3-parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
