Answer
Hi Eileen,

For comics from the 1970s-80s, I prefer to use the Regular sized bags. The width of these can vary depending on the manufacturer, but I usually see them sized anywhere from 6 15/16" X  10 3/8" to 7 1/8" X 10 3/8".  If you have a choice, buy the wider size.

If you can't find the Regular sized bags, go with the Silver Age bags. Modern Age bags are sometimes not wide enough to accomodate older comics, especially those from the 1970s so I'd avoid those ones.

Hope this helped.
