Default Penny Sleeves & Top Loaders

So card savers are hardly the "standard", at least for modern cards. They don't offer enough protection for cards. Now, for shipping to a tpg? Yes, that's what they want. But the card(s) and card savers are taped in between pieces of cardboard, then placed in a box with bubble wrap or peanuts. I would never store my cards in card savers.
I have to agree with Bill, but certainly none of the current methods of storing are perfect. I have had better luck using penny sleeves & top loaders though.
