pubmonkey pubmonkey Collectosaurus Rex Registered: 09/12/09 Posts: 534 Loc: Canada	I had a look through the forum and couldn't find an answer... (not to say it isnt there)... every 5 years I go through my collection and change all the poly bags and boards because I haven't found any mylar bags and acid free boards that I like. I'd like to be able to bag and board my comics and then not have to do it again for a long time to come. My issue has always been the flap on the mylars and that some of them look to be made to not close. What do you guys use for your copper/bronze comics? Is there one type that the majority recommends? how about boards for those bags too? I also have roughly 20 TMNT larger than regular comic size books, any suggestions for those? at the moment I bag them with magazine size bags and boards... Thanks for the help!

pubmonkey pubmonkey Collectosaurus Rex Registered: 09/12/09 Posts: 534 Loc: Canada	So I went to: http://www.hotflips.com to order: 4 x 775m2s 4 x 750fbs the total came to $100 but then the shipping to Canada was $112.00!!! Anybody know where you can find these locally in Canada (Toronto would be ideal).. Thanks for the suggestions on the bags and board sizes. I think this will be what I go for from now.

Kaptain Kollektor Kaptain Kollektor Collectosaurus Rex Registered: 11/06/04 Posts: 509 Loc: CT, USA	I have found that ordering Mylites directly from E Gerber is (or at least can be) cheaper than ordering from anyone else. Edited by Kaptain Kollektor (04/30/12 04:16 PM)
