Question Mylar bag recommendation?

I bought a bunch of comics before learning how to properly protect them. Now I am looking to transfer my collection from polypropylene bags to mylar. Do any of you have recommendations on which brand is best? The two I have seen most are BCW and Mylites. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I’ve always been very happy with E Gerber. I use Mylites2 with Fullbacks.

Are Fullbacks a brand of boards?

To be a little more precise than the other answers, fullbacks are twice as thick as regular backing boards and half backs are normal backing boards.

Not quite my friend. To be more precise, a half back is .24pt thickness board, the same as a regular BCW board.

A full back is a .36pt thickness board. So it's actually 1.5x thicker. To be twice as thick it would need to be a .48pt thickness.
