Hello, inventive people who know more about preservation than I do.
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,
Clint, Who is posting this in the "Open Discussion" section too just in case.

Not having the books you are talking about so can't know what size they are. But here is a site to order Mylar bags and backing boards from. Top of the line products, is the only place I buy from.
Take measurement of comics you own and look at the sizes listed on the link I gave you. There are a few sizes and and I buy Mylar2 bags in the STANDARD size which most comics fit in. Mylar is the "gold standard" of preserving your books.
Here is the link.

The majority of regular comic sized Gladstones will fit in a standard comic bag and board (I would go one back from most sizes listed as modern/current). Now, Gladstone also put out several larger format books that collected classic stories by Barks and company. Those would have to either get a magazine bag or possibly a treasury bag. Most stores also carry magazine bags and boards not all carry treasury bags and very few will have boards for treasury-sized bags though they do exist out there.
