I'm trying to put new/a bag/board on all my stuff. I have a good bit of the fat binding SA books, and they do not fit in the SA bags. What type should I get for those? GA? Mags? Thanks.

Most company's Silver Age bags should fit books from the mid fifties to present without issue unless there is a severe spine roll. IF they do not then the next size up, Golden age, should work. Magazine bags would be way too big. The only time you will need Magazine bags is for actual magazines or if you bag your trades/hard covers and even then most of these will fit a silver or gold age bag.

I just bought 200 modern and 100 sa bags and boards. It almost looks like the sa is modern sized in the bag. The board is bigger. The SA books I have are snug in there and the large binding (early silver surfer, etc.) are so tight as to cause bowing/rippling( I only put 1 book in for about 10 secs, then took it out for obvious reasons). I will check the size diff on my modern and sa bags when I get home tonight.

Perhaps measure the dimensions of the problem books and go from there? The earlier the SA book the more likely you may need a GA bag. I think some companies, such as Dell, had larger dimensions and are more problematic for the traditional SA dimensions. You really should have no problems with DC and Marvel SA book fitting in most of the SA bags .... unless the company that makes your bags is only considering post 1962 Marvel and DCs.

Oh and the thicker the book the more likely you may have to size up the bag.
