We've seen amazing, rare, and likely very expensive PCs in several threads recently. I am wondering how board members are storing their PCs. Is there any particular product (ie, toploaders, cardsaver IVs, etc.) that is the method of choice?

I have all of mine graded by SGC, has worked well so far.

This. No point of grading unless you're selling in my opinion.

I grade all my postcards with BVG. I grade them because I like the idea of an air tight home for my postcards. Whether it makes difference or not, I feel like the lack of air helps preserve them, especially the RPPCs.

well they have lasted this long without the air tight holders.

Also, how long have tpg plastics been around? I'd trust products that have been used for archival materials and trusted by stamp collectors and other paper collectible hobbies than a plastic where no one has any long term studies.

Agree on storage and grading. I've never graded a ballpark postcard, only player cards that I'm selling.

I use 2 mil mylar and PC top loaders, then they fit perfectly in these 3 pocket pages.
