GA/SA in GA/SA Mylite2 bags and fullbacks - comic boxes 0

[xvipah]

So, I've started moving my collection to the BCW Plastic long boxes. I like that they are sturdier and I can stack them higher if I need to, saving some space.

But today I noticed that if I have GA/SA comics in a GA/SA mylite2 with a fullback, they do not fit in these boxes without turning them at an angle. Is there a specific style of box for these size books/bags/boards? Or should I just use the magazine size bin's?

You can go down one size for about 95% of books.

Well, they don't fit in the standard ones. Is there a "Silver age" set of comic boxes?

Many people, including myself, use magazine size boxes.

Thanks, that's sort of what I figured. I'll order one and see how it goes.

You'll have a little bit of extra space on one side, but that doesn't bother me.

One of the reasons I use the 775 is that is that I can use it with pretty much all my books. Everything fits and I don't have a mishmash of sizes. Some books would work with a smaller size, but I like having enough room to avoid rubbing and chafing. Don't want to inadvertently bend an edge or soften a corner. With some of my larger PCH I'll use a halfback so they're not too snug.

For moderns I use the, I think, 700's with halfbacks. Everything else is 775's with fullbacks. But I might invest in some of the GA/SA halfbacks for just the reason you said. If they are bigger, more room would be good.

775s don't fit in Drawer boxes if you use their rails and some other ones I've tried. I mostly use 725s.  

They also don't look so great with all the extra space for SA books, although others may opine otherwise.

I have thought about buying specific bags for everything, 700's for moderns, 725's for silvers/bronze's, etc....  And I still might. I don't mind the extra space from the 775's for Silvers and some Bronze's, but I do think something that fits better would look better.
