By Sal Barry

Previously, I wrote about how storing your cards in nine-pocket pages and three-ring albums is a great way to protect, store and enjoy your collection.

Or, what if you want a gift for your favorite sports card enthusiast that takes it to the next level?

What Size of Bags and Boards Do You Need to Protect a Magazine Collection?

To best preserve a magazine collection, store them in a dark, dry, cool environment. To further protect magazines, place them in sealed magazine bags with a magazine backing board inserted in the bag behind each magazine. The bags and boards will protect the edges, keep the covers in good condition, and minimize the effects of oxidation (the paper turning yellow). BCW magazine bags are made from polypropylene, with the exception of bags made from Mylar. Both materials are acid-free. BCW backing boards are acid-free as well.
