JazzMan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I was looking to purchase a pack of Mylite 2 and boards. What a sticker shock! In April 2020 I purchased a 50 pack of Mylite 2 and 100 half backs for $45 after tax. The cheapest I can get the Mylites alone is $40 and $60 for 50 full backs. That's $100 without tax or more than 122% increase. I know...global supply chain...inflation...blah blah. But this is getting ridiculous. I might have to revert to polypropylene.... **shutters** Namtak and JJ-4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just paid $108 with tax on eBay for 50 Mylites2 and Fullbacks. Ridiculous price, but I'm tired of waiting. I can spend that on a dinner with the family, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmeta Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yes and try acid free boxes..I hear Bill Cole Enterprises is going to raise the price on acid free boxes again. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 On another note, a note on their website said they were backordered on Magazine Boards, but BCW sent out my order with no delays apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! I need suggestions on boxes to store silver & golden age Mylite2 bagged comics. Don't quite fit in my standard BCW longbox. Bill Cole acid free? $50 sounds steep. Not E. gerber's graded comic box (5 for $50)? Edited March 15, 2022 by Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've been stopping by the LCS every week or two asking after Golden Age-size storage boxes. It's not just that the supplies are delayed, they really have no idea when they might have any in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only boxes I know of that will fit are the Gold/Silver acid free boxes and a magazine box. djzombi and Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use magazine boxes. My books are all in Mylar with acid free boards. Never noticed a problem. I also plan WAY ahead and order from Ernie Gerber. About a 3 month wait these days but much cheaper. djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on that, but they're not even taking orders for Fullbacks. I'm hoping this $100+ order lasts me till I can get some from Gerber.

My daughter collects Hot Wheels. Talk about hard to get. A store gets a box of 72 and they are all gone the next day then no more for a month or two. The Hot Wheels guys are crazy! They remind me of the “dollar box” comic guys. What they will do for cars that sell for $5-6.00. Lucky for her, I have a friend who works for Target. He lets me know when they are coming in and I hit up his store. I know what she wants so I grab them. musicmeta and fastballspecial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 15 combo packs of these in Standard size that I sold in the marketplace forum a month ago. I announced the sale n the "What's up with with Ernie Gerber Enterprises" thread here in Comics General. They were selling for $99 on Ebay at the time. I had them priced at $79 delivered per combo pack and they all sold within two days. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
