I've got some of that. I think I got it from Bill Cole Enterprises a few years back. I didn't really care for it. It's double-sided tape, so it's sticky on both sides, and the adhesive on it is pretty strong/sticky.

 

Edit:

 

Here it is on the Bill Cole site (the 1/4" x 36 yds per roll towards the bottom of the web page). It looks like they've added a few acid free tapes to the site since I visited it last. Some of them might be worth a look. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I tried using this stuff with my mylite2's and hated it. The adhesive was so weak, that after a short while it would unstick itself from the bags and leave a residue behind. Christo_pull_hair.gif

 

......I've tried 'em all and this is the one to use, BUT

that leaves residues if you remove the tape, maybe people that use normal tape is people that store the comic in the bag forever and never read the comic, I need tape or something that can be easy removable without leaves residues.

I now use blue painters tape, because it comes off easily and doesn't leave residue.

Also, before you take comics out of the bag/mylite remove the tape completely.

I use Avery 5/8" x 7/8" labels. Plenty of room to write price paid and grade and they generally leave no residue on the bag. No risk of the dreaded tape pull either. I also use them on my boxes to since the contents can change over time. For instance a box can contain titles "A  - C" but eventually only have room for "A - B". I simply replace the last label and never write on the box itself. I just ordered two packages (2100 labels) from Amazon last week for $14.68 with prime delivery.
