Great question! I get mine on either eBay or Amazon. You’re looking for magazine sized (8 1/2 x 11) bags and boards. You also want acid free. Just do a search for that, there are a ton of them out there. I usually buy these or something like them www.ebay.com/itm/100-New-BCW-Magazine-Bags-And-Boards-Acid-Free-Archival-Magazine-Storage-/192445783957?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
HA! At the cheapest tier it’s about 12 months or more right now, and that’s just for grading. If you add pressing you double the wait time and the cost
I get nervous whenever I send out more than 10 at a time. CGC has had a reputation in the past of not packaging large orders very well, and I've heard horror stories of broken slabs because the boxes were so heavy and dropped during shipping. I believe that CGC has gotten better at this, but 10-15 is all I send out at one time now.
@@cgcsportsillustrated5290 One thing you might talk about in your next video is how you determine the price of what CGC will charge for each S.I. grading. I believe they have different prices that depend upon the perceived value of each magazine. Also would be interested on how you store your magazines in your home to protect them.
CORRECTION - I mentioned using masking tape. DO NOT USE MASKING TAPE. Please use painters tape instead. Sorry for the confusion
Just an extra tip… when taping them together fold the tape at the top to form a pull tab so it’s easier for them to peel off. Great video
I love this! I’ve had some requests to update this video, so when I do, I’ll include this
And thank you for taking the time to leave this tip!

I’m looking to send one magazine and don’t have bags or boards. What do you recommend?
I’d like to send some Slam Magazines. It’s a basketball magazine. Any idea of what their turnaround time is?

Holy smokes! Hey thanks for the info!

Is sending 20-25 magazines at a time too much?
