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. They were standard. Domo Arigato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSeas Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Dang, after 35 years I'm planning on finally buying more Mylites. Last time I bought them I got a thousand for $110.00. I figure I've got to buy close to 20k more, plus backing boards, to bag and board my whole collection..I guess I'd better start saving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the price I paid of $100 for 50 mylites2's and boards, 20k sets should only cost you $40,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 For a long while, I couldn't find SA Mylites 2 at ANY price. Every Mylar in town was sold out, and all of the online suppliers were out. A boat must have come in, because a month or two ago, there were suddenly several listing for SA Mylite 2's on eBay. I paid $35.99 shipped for 50 Silver/Gold Mylites2, and was happy to do it. Now the thing I can't find is Golden Age toploaders. They're out there, but they have gotten ridiculously pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckao Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) My thinking is if we can wait a year for grading, we can wait a while for supplies... Buying direct from eGerber is still the way to go even if you don't need that much. If you ever set up at a local show, people always tend to buy them if you have them at a decent price. (For your excess packs.) Buying direct lowers your cost to less than $10 for a pack of 50 usually. (19.2 cents per Standard Mylites2 before shipping.)

Dick Pontoon Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yup, that's my line of thinking. I have some on hand, but if they get used up the books can sit in whatever polybag they're in for the time being until supplies and prices normalize.

About .212 with shipping if you buy 1K correct? How long does it take eGerber to full fill in your experience? (much longer than the local LCS or Amazon I'm sure) Thanks.

They are backed up right now and may not even be accepting orders for various inventory items I think. (They'll let you know probably when depending on what you order of course.) BCW has been having supply issues as well but they seem to be caught up I think. (I've received about 6-8000 bags and boards recently and 2000 magazine boards ordered this week with no delays.) They're always a good temporary measure until you get your Mylites2/Fullback combos in. Edited March 16, 2022 by sckao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I ordered a graded comic box a year or so ago. It was something like $20-25 with shipping. Couldn't believe it. @BlowUpTheMoon BlowUpTheMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
