These are polypropylene and are resealable. Exclusive to Hotflips who is a board member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 So I think I'm looking for Mylar then. I want some shiny ones for the books I'm displaying on my wall. Any suggestions on where to get them and brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've highlighted the 1114M2 for clarity. Here's the link to the site: https://www.egerber.com/catalog_mylites2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the seller is having custom made mylar sleeves manufactured nothing from egerber, cole or bcw is closer than the egerber 1114M2 I use 1114M2 but they have too much excess even on thicker CGC magazine slabs. I do wish there was better fitting alternative. Edited December 3, 2020 by MAR1979 Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize they don't show a magazine, but they also have ones listed for regular CGC bags so I'm assuming these must fit. Maybe I'll ask for the measurements.

Please ask for an in use pic as well at thickness 1mil or 2mil If they are custom and fit nicely, more folk like me may have interest Edited December 3, 2020 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINGER033 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I bought some from Bags Unlimited that worked good.

Having said that, I've had good success with Bags Unlimited also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wombat and I are referring to the ebay seller referenced above. Gerber has a possible bag to use as suggested by MAR1979 on the Gerber 1114M2 bags. The dimensions for that bag are noted by Gerber.

Stevemmg Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) While I would always prefer to use Mylar with everything, Gerber doesn't have anything that fits properly on the graded magazines. The most effective product I've used for this purpose is these: https://www.bcwsupplies.com/treasury-comic-book-bags They are just a touch wide, but not too bad. The height is just a tad short, but you can still bend the flap over and there's enough real estate to tape it on the back. They fit fine into the graded mag boxes with these. Ironically, these don't work for Marvel or DC treasuries, so this seems to be the most practical use for them. I haven't had the chance to try anything with the Hot Flips bags.
