Silver Age Comic Bags - 7 1/4" x 10 1/2" with 2" flap

ComicProLine's OPP comic book bags offer a superior solution for comic book collectors compared to standard polypropylene comic bags, and their advantages are attributed to the use of OPP (oriented polypropylene) material. Let's delve into the details of why OPP comic book bags are a top choice for collectors:

1. Clarity: OPP stands for "oriented polypropylene," and this material is 100 times clearer than regular polypropylene. This exceptional clarity ensures that your comic books are not just stored but also displayed beautifully. With this level of transparency, you can admire the covers and artwork of your comic books without any distortion or haziness. This is a significant advantage for collectors who take pride in showcasing their comics.

2. Strength: OPP comic book bags are notably stronger compared to standard polypropylene bags. The orientation of the polypropylene molecules in OPP bags provides increased tensile strength, making them more resistant to tearing or stretching. This added durability ensures that your comics are well-protected against accidental damage and wear and tear, giving you peace of mind as a collector.

3. Resistance to Yellowing: One of the common issues with standard polypropylene comic bags is their tendency to yellow over time. This yellowing can detract from the overall appearance of your comic collection. OPP material, however, is resistant to yellowing. This means that your comic books will remain crystal clear and free from discoloration, preserving their original, vibrant appearance over the years. This feature is particularly important for collectors who plan to keep their comics in pristine condition for the long term.

4. Mylar-Like Properties: OPP comic book bags possess all the favorable characteristics of Mylar comic bags but at a fraction of the cost. Mylar is highly regarded among collectors for its clarity and archival properties, but it can be quite expensive. OPP offers a cost-effective alternative that combines the benefits of Mylar, such as exceptional clarity and protection, with the affordability of polypropylene. This means you can safeguard your valuable comics without breaking the bank.

In summary, ComicProLine's OPP comic book bags outshine standard polypropylene bags in several key aspects. They offer unmatched clarity, superior strength, resistance to yellowing, and Mylar-like properties at a more budget-friendly price point. As a result, they provide comic book collectors with a premium option for preserving and showcasing their collections, ensuring that their beloved comics remain in excellent condition and retain their visual appeal for years to come.

24pt Comic Book Backer Boards:

• Industry Standard Thickness: ComicProLine's 24pt boards adhere to the comic industry's benchmark thickness, making them readily available in comic shops worldwide, whether in-store or online.

28pt Comic Book Backer Boards:

• Noticeably Thicker: These boards represent an upgrade from the 24pt variety, being noticeably thicker and more robust.

When paired with ComicProLine OPP bags, they make comic artwork pop, enhancing the visual appeal of your collection.

56pt Comic Book Backer Boards:

• Unrivaled Thickness: ComicProLine's 56pt boards are among the thickest paper backer boards available in the market, offering a premium level of protection.

They are exceptionally durable, making them the top choice for collectors who prioritize the utmost preservation of their valuable comics.

60pt Comic Book Backer Boards:

• Premium Material: ComicProLine's 60pt boards take a different approach. These are not paper backer boards but are instead constructed from two materials you can choose from: acrylic or P.E.T.
• Dual Film Peel: These boards are equipped with a peelable film on both sides, allowing you to showcase the back side of your comic books without any obstruction.
• Durable and Versatile: These boards are built for durability and reliable protection. They offer a unique advantage in that they eliminate the concern of hiding any artwork on the back of your comic books. They provide a crystal-clear view of both the front and back covers, and they are dependable in keeping your comics safe and beautifully displayed.

In conclusion, ComicProLine's comprehensive range of comic book backer boards caters to collectors with varying preferences and needs, offering a solution for every level of protection, thickness preference, and display requirement. Whether you opt for the industry-standard 24pt boards, the noticeably thicker 28pt boards, the premium 56pt boards for maximum preservation, or the innovative 60pt boards for dual-sided display and protection, you can trust ComicProLine to provide high-quality options to complement and protect your comic book collection.

Our 60pt boards are made out of two materials. They both have the exact same thickness and function of displaying the back side of your comic books. The P.E.T material has square corners. Nothing special done to each corner, just a square edge. The Acrylic material has rounded corners making inserting them into comic a bit easier and more convenient.

Both of the boards display the back of your comics beautifully and are extremely durable. The only difference is the rounded/non-rounded edges.

We at ComicProLine make it extremely easy to understand what bags & boards match eachother! To sum it up, if you have a silver age comic and are looking for a 7 1/8" x 10 1/2 board, you would purchase both our "silver size" bags and boards. If you don't know your comics "age" and have a specific measurement in mind such as a 6 3/4" x 10 1/2" backer board and come to find it is our "current size" board, then, you would just match the current boards with current bags. We colour code all our sizes so as long as you match the colours together for bags and boards, they will fit each other.

To break it down even more here is a complete list of what sizes to match with eachother:

Current Bags + Current Boards

Regular Bags + Regular Boards

Silver/Regular Bags + Silver/Regular Boards

Silver Bags + Silver Boards

Golden Bags + Golden Boards

Magazine Bags + Magazine Boards

Treasury Bags + Treasury Boards

Life Bags + Life Boards

Art Print Bags + Art Print Boards

The "Vintage" brand is still under the same roof as other ComicProLine products. For those who don't know ComicProLine is a family company. My dad is the one who got into the comic storage supplies business and his first ever board brand was called "Vintage". He keeps them on our site as he isn't ready to say goodbye to the brand just yet. If we were to introduce a ComicProLine version of 24pt, it would be the exact same quality/strength/product as the Vintage brand. Just with a different label on the pack.
