Apparently, there is a bigger version of the same statue that was given out to employees only

I've stumbled on a time capsule

So if I order mylite 2 in silver/golden age and want to put it in a archive. Will it fit in a silver/golden archive or in a golden archive?

thank you✌🏿

4:36 that's the only reason why I don't use those bags. All it takes is 1 mistake or oversight and that book goes from a 7.0 to a 4.5. I know cause I've done it. Never again.

I have just got more for my supplies are comic care brand magazine size backer boards and 100 polyethylene bags.

So I recently completed my collection of NM Neil Gaiman's Sandman and want to bag and board it properly, preferably in Mylar and with high quality boards. However there appears to be a wide supply shortage right now. I can get Mylites and full back boards but only in Golden Age size. Are there any disadvantages I should be aware of if I were to try storing modern age comics in Golden or Silver Age bags/boards as long as the backers match the bag size? Will the larger size make a difference discrepancy put my comics at risk in any way, even if the boards match the bags and are the stiffer full backs?

8 years later and this is still saving lives :) also seeing someone write lists and graphs as i did as a kid after every weekly haul brought a smile to my face. thank you and well done sir

Poly bags suck ass. Ill never use them again. Mylite 2 by egerber all the way

Standard mylite 2 Wont fit either. Use current size mylite 2 bags with top loaders. Standard ml2 use to bag silver books. Silver bags arent necessary.

It's so obvious, that Druid Tank is incredible. No wonder you guys succeeded.

I prefer the Archives by e.gerber 7 3/4 x 10 1/2 (775R) Silver/Golden Comics - 1950's-70's

Do you have any info on the Mylite 4s?

Vulcan, you have ALOT of time on your hands, making that spreadsheet and all! :) I DO enjoy the show and I very much appreciate you making this video! I personally NEEDED this information before making purchases! Keep up the good work man!!!! :)

you said that the current size bag fits in the current size toploader snug/perfectly but are you using two boards there?

You're just Showboatin Dog ! I ain't kool wit dis hotdog crap !

great video.I Have a question and i need help-i bought today mylites2 and halfback boards( E.Gerber). I found the boards a bit rough in the surface, not shiny, is that a problem for my comics? is it safe? someone said that they left a dimpled effect on the back cover . i would really appreciate if you helped me. Thank you.

Mylites 1mil are better for thicker comic books like say action comics 1000. Makes it fit easier and the 4mil is too brittle

does a bagged modern book fit into those silver age top loaders that you have on hand? better than throwing them out

So my lites 2 and halfback will fit a new comic

Marvel team up and secret war are both not first black costume. Both were published after. ASM 252.

How can I get a copy of that chart?

ARCHIVES looks better than the TOP Loaders.

The vultures are waiting for the Long haul!

Im using E Gerber standard size and fullbacks. What size toploaders I should get from BCW?

Do they have anything thinner then the 2 mil

Sweet book! I sure wish I had that one. Lucky guy! That must've set you back thousands.

the next comment is based in a serious conversations with two Archivist 30 years experienced professional that helps museums to save historical documents etc: I think all industry is wrong! acrylic cases, mylar sleeves for records, plastic cases for games, comics CGG cases etc... all wrong! that plastics (mylar, poly etc...) NOT protect at all from paper damage (yes comics, games, records etc. are made of paper and of course vinyl and plastic carts etc...). the way to protect all that is using another paper preservation papers, like the book collectors do! you don't any serious book collector protect books in acrylic cases! or mylar sleeves. check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH27apWKqtegjMU cdn.thelibrarystore.com/images/uploads/archival/AD68-0111_popup.jpg Also keep everything at 45% to 55% humidity and less than 21C temperature in a dark room. at this point you maybe say "WOW BUT THAT IS SO BORING!!! if I use that papers to storage I even CAN'T SEE the beautiful cover art of my comic" YES IS BORING!!! BUT YOU ASK for the BEST way to storage comics (paper). all that companies VGA, CGG offer that "window" things to all collectors rejoice seeing his comics and games through a mylar or acrylic thing but again that cause damage over the years, those things ARE PLASTICS! plastics are not good to preserve paper.

literally lasted 50 seconds and had to turn off because I was falling asleep.

Can you post a PDF of that spreadsheet in your description?

What is the actual term for the sleeves and archives, cannot find them on amazon...

Just to clarify the thickness of the various items. They are measured in "mil" and not "millimeters." One mil is .001 inch (one thousandth). So a 2 mil sleeve is .002 inches thick and a 4 mil sleeve is .004 inches thick. If a sleeve was actually 4 millimeters, it would be a over 1/8" thick (appx .158 inches). It is somewhat confusing and an easy mistake to make.

thank you for sharing. Nice chart.

@vulcanman86 any way to get a copty of the spread sheet??

That is an absolutely beautiful copy of ToD #10

hey i have mylites 2 standar bags with full backs i will need a top loader silver to fit a standar comic for example aquaman new 52?

Mylites are where it's at.

top loaders were not meant to be used with mylites!!!

which one is the best for annuals or giant size comics thanks?

They need to come back to the expo center

I will never use a taxi from the airport in Vegas. Shuttle service is more cheap and you will not get rip off. And call a shuttle service to take you back to the airport on your day of departure.

hello are the bags you are using 7 1/4″ wide?

some people don't like TAPE, so how they can close it? insert the flap inside don't seems good, the thing stay exposed, so tape looks better.

BOXES? cardboard or plastic boxes for comics??? plastic adds heat/hot? so is better use cardboard? I like the plastic because prevent mold and water but maybe is not good for comics, I see comic collectors use cardboard. any help?

@ huu

beautiful secret wars slab

nice slabs

One guy fitted his comics into his top loaders with the Mylar bag but didn't use a backing board, I don't know if the toploaders were BCW but try experimenting without a backing board and see, as the toploader that the guy used was sturdy and there was no need for a backing board

about how many taxis are there usually at the airport all at one time??????
