....are modern comics getting harder to fit into modern bags and boards? I'm having a hard time getting my comics to fit into the bags and boards. Is anyone else having this problem?

Maybe it's the brand? I use the "Ultra Pro"

I buy silver age, the ones I get seem to fit a little better as I always had the same problem with modern bags.

I've bought some b&b's in the past that when you squeeze the board in the bag it's so tight that it makes the bag have a bowing affect.

I find that if you fondle it first, it will open up a little to let it fit smoother inside . . .

. .also it's good to use a steady push when inserting . . . take your time and work it a little . . .

I have had this. I think there is a fair bit of variation between brands, hence the problem. Find the combo that you like and stick with what fits.

Yeah, I usually just buy off one LCS now that has the right fitting ones.

Yeah, I buy Silver Age every time. But even that is beginning to suck too. Its hard to find a board that fits the bag properly so your comic is nice and snug inside. All too often I get a silver bag and board and then my book is floating around inside.

Makes me so angry!

Listen, when it comes to comics, if you really love, fit it in the glove!
