- Hi new to this board. I use the (Ultra Pro) old bags and boards in the back of my magazine boxes with my Mylars and 1/4 styrofoam for the sides . This makes up from any movement with a snug ,but not to tight of a fit. The old bags and styrofoam will not effect the Mylars ,as I asked E gerber and Owens Corning this question. What else can they be use for?
Thanks

- QUESTION: Never really thought about it before now, but do bags and/or boards NEED to be changed (either periodically or ever)? As I dig through my boxes looking for Longbox Junk to read, review, and fill in info on, I'm coming across some pretty yellow boards (especially on the older comics without today's premium paper).
Favorite Characters: Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Captain America, The Shadow, Zorro, The Rocketeer, Jonah Hex

- Hi Atom thanks for you reply. As the question you asked,yes they do. How long is based on where you store them and old they are. I have my books in different areas and they all turn the back board different shades of yellow when I used regular bags and boards (Ultrapro). Some areas the boards did not turn that yellow But the older comics will turn them faster and way more yellow due to the material used then.That is why I use Mylars and fullbacks for a good part of my collection ,once done never again. They do cost more,but if you have to change them every 7 years they will cost more money and way more time in the long run. This is based on my opinion and my collection,as I overdue everything. Also the size of your collection.
Thanks

- I use a lighter to melt them into hard plastic shanks. Then I threaten old people and demand that they give me their false teeth.
Wait. I apologize. I don't know what made me say that. I do not make weapons. I just throw them away. I know that sounds boring, but it's the truth.

- I toss the bags away and use the boards for additional protection when shipping comics I sell on eBay.
