RobHW Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I see BCW has Treasury Edition bags and boards that I think will work for my Superman vs Spider-man book, but the DC Famous 1st Edition books are about 0.5" taller. Will it work for those, too? Anyone using something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokiing Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Treasury bags are 13 1/2" tall, plus 2" flap. How tall are your 1st Editions? @RobHW Edit... Thanks for the update and noting that the Treasury boards are only 13 3/8" tall Edited September 25, 2022 by jokiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep nerd knowledge. I knew that guy didn’t look right compared to most Famous First Edition’s banners. Might not fit the earlier ones. Sorry for the misinformation.

Sigur Ros Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Can confirm it will fit. Here is a variety of sizes that worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHW Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 So I bought the BCW Treasury sized bags and boards and they are not so good. The length is the problem with the boards. They are supposed to be 13.5 inches tall, but mine arrived 13 and 3/8 tall which is too short by way too much for me, especially since the board should be slightly taller than the book. Here is how it looks with my Treasury Edition book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHW Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) By the way, they fit my Superman vs Spider-man book perfectly but it was a tight fit, a little tighter than I feel comfortable sliding into the bag. I've learned that this book is called a "one shot" and is actually not a Treasury Edition. I've also learned that BCW makes bags and boards for Life Magazine which are just slightly taller and wider. I've ordered some and I'm hopeful they will work out. Edited September 20, 2022 by RobHW jokiing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) "Lobby Card" size Mylar's is what I use. IIRC I had boards custom made from eGerber. It was a while back. 1114M2 11 1/2 x 14 1/2 Lobby Cards & Photos Edited September 20, 2022 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHW Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I received the BCW Life Magazine bags and boards and I think they work ok. They are a little big. I put three backing boards in each bag to get the fit I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 That looks like a fine fit to me. You don't want them so tight that the edge of the book is next to the edge of the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
