What's New ?
We recently added several new items to our shop, including:
New MYLAR SLEEVES
Why Mylar? Mylar is widely accepted as the best way to store and preserve paper-based collectibles. Mylar (Polyester) is acid-free, archival safe, and museum quality. In fact, the U.S. Library of Congress uses only Mylar and other approved Polyester films to preserve their paper documents.
Mylar will never yellow or put harmful materials into the item it is protecting. As an added benefit, Mylar has a superior brilliance and clarity that truly showcases your collection!
The Mylar sleeves are either 3 or 4 mil. Even though we now carry higher mil sleeves made from polypropylene, Mylar is a stiffer plastic than polypropylene, even at the 3 or 4 mil thicknesses. In addition, you will never find a clearer sleeve anywhere.
Our current Mylar Sleeves are listed below. We will be adding many more sizes, so be sure to e-mail us and let us know what you are looking for
