Anyone Using Custom Comic Mylar Bags for Long-Term Protection?
Hi everyone,
I’m running into a bit of a real-world problem and could really use some advice. Over the past year, I’ve been building up my comic collection (and even dabbling in creating my own prints), but I’ve noticed that some of my older and rarer issues are starting to show small signs of damage — yellowing pages, light creases on the edges, and even a bit of warping from humidity.
I started looking into better storage options and came across Custom Comic Mylar Bags. They’re acid-free, crystal-clear, and designed to give comics a snug fit while protecting them from light, moisture, and dust. They even come in different sizes for golden, silver, and modern age comics, which is great for mixed collections. Here’s the exact type I found: Custom Comic Mylar Bags Wholesale
I’m curious if anyone here has tried using Mylar bags for either collecting or shipping comics.
Do you notice a real difference compared to the regular poly bags?
Do you pair them with backing boards every time?
Would you say they’re worth using for the whole collection, or just for the most valuable pieces?
I’d love to hear your experiences before I decide whether to upgrade all my storage or just reserve these for special issues.
