For those who may be going the bag/board route, generally speaking 8x10's fit well in magazine bags/boards (8-3/4"x11-1/8"), and 7x9's fit well in Golden Age Comic bags and boards (7-5/8"x10-1/2"). 7x9s might fit tightly in a Silver Age Comic bag/board (7-1/8"x10-1/2"), but the width of those doesn't allow much tolerance for slightly wider photos or ones with slight paper caption overhangs.
Good luck with the comic collection Scott. That's the area that most of my collecting youth was spent in, though I've strayed considerably in recent years. I'd be curious to hear what series you favored for "rotting your brain" growing up. (Mine were mostly Marvel with X-Men and Spider-Man titles being favorites).
