That's how I wound up finding the forums in the first place back in the day.

This is a great community of fellow collectors whose knowledge is vast,

I still pick up on new things almost daily.]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2016 19:48:18 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6424 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 14:28:07 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6424 http://www.wikihow.com/Size-Your-Comic-Books-for-Proper-Storage

I would suggest you just make sure the comic fits loosely in the bag. (not too loosely, but slips in easily) The bag does shrink slightly over time - if the comic is too snug you may degrade the comic.


Hope this helps.

I have the conventional bags which just have a standard flap at the top and I also have the self sealing bags.
I've noticed that "prestige format books don't fit as comfortably into the self sealers so I just use current size bags and boards with those.

A lot of Gladstone stuff is just thicker books because of the high page counts (some as high as 90 pages.)

Check out this wiki page for some nifty pub. history:

Also when my lcs is out of suplies i default to the following site for supplies.

Lots of cool stuff. Hope this helps and if you need more help just ask!]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2016 16:56:00 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6424
My father had a large collection of Gladstone Comics that my family and I would like to preserve by bagging and boarding, but we've not the first clue where to begin. I was hoping one of the more avid collectors might have the proper measurements on hand, so we can spend our money only on the sizes that will be of use. I was told that the average Marvel size was not the right kind.

Many thanks,
