Shazbot Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Does halfback refer to boards coated on only one side as opposed to fullbacks being coated on both sides? Do I understand these terms correctly? also, I read in a (much) older thread that they tend to come with a bit of curvature, but is this not a bit too curved? Shiny side up. Looking to rebag and just got these. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Halfback and Fullbacks are terms for boards sold by one company, not a generic term for boards coated on one side. Edited March 1, 2022 by shadroch Shazbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much, my last 3 hours of research actually makes some sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curvature won’t harm the comic. I find it disturbs my OCD, though. adampasz, Shazbot, djzombi and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not that easy to bend it back perfectly without warping another side and ending up with multiple curves instead of the one. What I think helps is bending them as best you can and then putting them in mylar instead of the thin bags. Shazbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really thinking these need to go back, it's very stressful to look at my books on them. Last time I bagged my books was 30 years ago but I really don't remember ever getting a pack this bad.
