Before TPG and even top loaders, the chief means of protecting cards was 3x3 plastic sheets. Now let's say the opening for the card was on the left of the card pocket. You'd generally start by angling the card so its bottom right corner easily entered the pocket. But then it was common to crash the top right corner of the card into the sharp sleeve opening and end up with a nick or rip. At least I can say that it happened to me more than once.

Thanks guys.

I guess there is no real answer or no real theory? Could be like you guys say or it could be something entirely different?
It just seemed odd to me that a lot of cards I look at, the top right corner seems to have issues a lot.
