lowball Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Is there a universal protector sleeve for loose comics? I see them sold for different ages but I have a mix of loose comics I would like to protect and was just curious if there was a one-size-fits-all option instead of buying packs of all different sizes. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Whatever size is large enough to fit your largest comics should also accommodate your smaller ones. lowball and ExNihilo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Unless you have some oddball older books, a 775 will fit all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is 775 just in reference to a part number? And is it generally recommended to use backing boards with these?

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 They're called "bags". Golden Age sized should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Golden age bags will generally be too big for your books. They are 800s, 775s will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Golden Age bags are 8 inches wide- thus the 800 designation. Comics have gotten narrower over the years . I use 775 bags with a 750 board, but if your books are mostly modern you might go smaller. Anything bigger doesn't fit in your typical comic book box.
