I am looking for a good way to store my posters in flat files and was wondering if there was a cheap way to get poster size mylar sleeves.

I have found a couple websites but they didnt have a 24X36 or larger size sleeve.

Wally used to give discounts to EB, BRY, Phish, GP folks. Tell him which message board you're on. Quality service and product.

I second this notion... I have waited months, sometimes just for a reply.


Bagsunlimited has been the quickest and easiest route for me, and if you purchase a certain amount of merchandise you get a choice of a Free Gifts (I remember I got the plastic baseball card holder * they make excellent weights to hold prints down*
NEVER DEAL WITH TOM MINARCHICK!(aka, fuedalist_tart on EBAY. HE IS A SCAM ARTIST.PM IF YOU NEED DETAILS.

Nice one Lorraine - haven't seen those guys before...
Nice idea to package the sleeves with the backers as one product - saves worrying if they will fit in nicely when ordering.

I prefer atlantic protective pouches. There have been some delays, but these guys were moving into a new building which caused a big slowdown. Wally is a super dude to work with, and gives a nice discount as mentioned above. You can have custom sizes made, but they make many standard sizes that I am sure will fit most if not all posters. Even with a wait....it is worth it......plus....if your posters have not been in mylar for this long....what is your rush. And finally......the box Wally uses to ship the mylar sleeves(they come flat) is HUGE and is really perfect for storing oversize posters that don't fit in a portfolio or brodart box. that's a lot of typing, and I am lazy......so I am going to take a break.

A new source I've used with excellent products - Conservation Resources. The thick sleeves are bomb proof.

I buy 'em with archival inserts.
They come flat in a thick flat box - good for storage. They also throw in extras ...
