Original Art Mylars...

Hey everyone,

I am interested in buying a couple of mylar sleeves to put my art in. I think the art looks great in a mylar, and then inside a portfolio until gets framed (it seems to keep the pieces from sliding around the portfolio too, which is a bonus).

I just wanted to see if anyone knows of any other good solutions for storing their art temporarily, or if there's any other place to order things online besides www.egerber.com

 

Anyway, please let me know!

 

Alberto

The Gerber mylars are really good. I use them for almost everything.

 

If Gerber is sticking it to you on shipping talk to your LCS about ordering them directly from Gerber for you. Diamond owns Gerber and they should ship with their regular weekly order.

 

If that doesn't work out shoot Russell (ComicSupply) a PM. He might be able to work something out for you.

 

Also, Bill Cole carries mylars for OA.

Hey Mike, thanks for the tip. I sent Russ a PM...

What size Mylars did you get? Did you have to get 50? or did they have smaller packages?

Russ sells them individually (1 mylar with 1 BackingBoard). I bought 20 the first time and 25 this past week.

 

Here is a thread with a link to the MYLARS

 

and here is another link of another rave review about thier arrival CONDITION

 

Bottom line, order as many or as little as you need, they'll be on your door ASAP. I get them in CA in about 4 days. with the OA mylars yo can show off your collection without fear of damage from heavy handed, greasy fingered relatives.

Thanks for the comicsupply suggestion I may try that. I've tried twice with my LCS and both times he said he couldn't get them. confused-smiley-013.gif

Man that sucks, the sale does not include combos, and the only stuff he has for OA is the single mylar/board combo, so no discount frown.gif

 

Oh well, I'll definitely have to try those though, Russ takes good care of stuff, so I am sure they're great...

Yeah, I asked about that. I think his regular selling price is pretty close on th eprofit margin side that he can't discount them anymore. But $4.00 for a mylar or $60+ to frame all your art. The choice gets easier

Well after this thread, i just ordered 10 of the mylar combos from Comic Supply.

 

Initially I had debated the idea of framing my stuff, but the mylar seems like a more realistic approach to storing them.

I wouldn't call framing a 'storage' option, it's more of a 'display' option. Putting art in a frame is not an optimal situation for storing and/or perserving your art although it IS great to look at! 893applaud-thumb.gif If you want to store your art, nothing beats putting it in mylar and then in a portfolio like Itoya that you can flip through while admiring your collection!
