(877) 620-7667

However, they are no longer full time so its unlikely you will get anyone. Your best bet is email - they usually respond within a day or two.

That number doesn't seem to work

Like I mentioned, I think they have gone completely to internet/email orders. They must have cancelled their toll free service.

Just curious: is MJ Roop going out of business? If so, where in the hell are we going to store our slabs?

Hey Jeff,

They closed down for a while to reorganize the business. Part of the reorg, I believe, involved moving to a new state and making the business a part time endeavor.

From what I understand, they are back up and running and offering all of their products - only difference is that they are doing all order taking via email/internet.

I ordered two more archival binders with some custom printing (on the slip cover since I store them laying flat) last week - should have them in a week or two.

I hope MJ Roop isn't in trouble, as I have been planning to buy some display supplies from them. For those who have ordered archival binder systems, how have they worked out for you? Are they really of "museum archival" quality? Additionally, when you order a "binder system", does it come with 3 binders or just one? Whenever I saw pictures on their website, it appeared that there were three binders in a "system". I could be wrong though, as I often am.

I've never used Roop's binders, but the wood preservation case I got last Christmas didn't work for SGC slabs, for the lid wouldn't close. I had to cut out the bottom of the trays, & remove the thin cardboard insert under the lid to get the box to close. Roop claimed they never had that problem before, but never offered me a refund or a solution. However, I do like the box, now that I got all the slabs to fit.

James,

I do not think Roop is about to go out of business - they just changed their business model presumably to avoid that option. Of course, if more of us bought their stuff, we wouldnt have to worry about it (disclosure - I have no financial interest in MJ Roop - I just wouldnt want to see them go out of business since I really like their binders).

As for their binders, they are sold individually. I presume that when they are referring to a "binder system" they mean the binder, d-ring, slip cover, page lifters and checklist. I have no idea what museum quality actually means - but I can say that the binders are nice looking and constructed well.

I have a lot of Roop materials; the archival binder systems as well as the wooden preservation boxes. Regarding the binder systems, they're really beautifully done. Museum quality? Not sure what that means but the binders are solid and the slip covers are great. The boxes are also well done. I've got mostly PSA slabs and they fit perfectly in the boxes. I also have many SGC slabs and while they take up more space, the boxes do close. However, I don't have any boxes which are just filled with SGC slabs so perhaps my experience isn't determinative on the ability of the boxes to just hold SGC slabs easily. Without their boxes, I have no idea where I would store my slabs, of which I have well over 2000. Probably have to buy a new house...

If you can't get hold of Roop you might try Light Impressions- the products are virtually indentical, just no imprinting (although they may have that option) and you'll have to print and laminate your own checklist.
