We need to define this and lock it down as a "sticky" as this must be the most asked question on this and probably all other comic boards.

We had a real nice thread on this that we often referenced on the other board. Any clue where it may be?

I like to leave mine out in direct sunlight all day then at night I throw them down in the basement right beside the heat pump.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I HAVE MARVEL CHIPPING ON A BOOK THATS 8 MONTS OLD?

You did exactly what I do Speedy. Mylite 2s and Fullbacks is the best way to go in my opinion for protection and display. I use Mylite 2s and Fullbacks for SA books in my personal collection and for books I take to shows to sell. For my personal collection I have also been putting two sheets of Microchamber paper in each book since they are for my collection and need long term preservation.


So how do you use the microchamber paper? Do you stick it in the middle of the comic? Like between the centerfold I mean?

{sorry if it's a dumb question}

I put one sheet in between the front cover and first page, and one in between the back cover and last page.

Ive been using ultrapro silver with UP boards on everything but have been considering mylite2. Ive noticed a lot of wrinkling of the poly bags lately and its buggin the hell out of me not to mention makes the books look like hell.

Anyone else have this issue with poly? Also the boards sometimes curl on the one of the corners opposite the spine. doesnt effect the book but doesnt lay flat when held up.

Been using the Ultra Pro's for a while myself, but you probably knew that cause we get our supplies from the same shop. They actually didn't have any Ultra Pro's the for silver backing boards the other day. Southern Hobby Supply was the replacement, I don't know if it was permanent though.

I just grabbed my first set of Mylite2's the other day and I'm slowly going to switch over to them for my whole collection. More of a cost issue at this point. I will at some point, stop buying poly completely.
