Does the standard magazine size, 8 1/2 x 11, bag work best for storage for AD&D hardcover rule books and softcover modules? Just curious if that is what you all are using. Do you use the boards as well? I have been storing mine on a bookshelf, standing up, no bags, but I am running out of bookshelf space.

http://www.bcwsupplies.com/

the 'wide' size magazine bags will fit a backer board and thick modules/magazines easily

the 'normal' size magazine bags will fit a backer board and thinner modules/mags

the 10"x13" 'book' bags fit hardcover books and some of the 'thinner' box sets

the treasury size bags fit almost all sizes of box sets, from the basic/expert size all the way up to avalon hill size

the 'digest' or 'manga' size bags fit digest sized items good although I don't think they make a backer board sized for that bag

they have smaller book size bags perfect for paperbacks

and finally,  i think they sell a 'newspaper' size bag that board games will fit perfect in (they may have 2 different sizes, I didn't look)

I use all these products myself

hope that helps!

BCW is all I use. Top quality. I think they are called "thick" magazine bags (at least they used to be) and those are the ones I use. You can fit a splatbook in them. I board all mine as well. Especially if you're standing them up, the spine takes the pressure without a backing board.

BCW all the way.

I only use bags from bagsunlimited.com.  They have all sizes and thicknesses, plus they have resealable options.

To each their own, I suppose.  :-)

Thanks. Follow-up question. Are you guys using the standard 10x12x15 banker box for storage? The BCW magazine boxes seem to be getting mixed reviews.

I love when the only responses I get are to correct my spelling.  ;-)  lol

No, but I should get a kickback for how much I pimp their product line!
