It is the thinness that causes them to use the mylar. Stamps and paper thin issues like W513 tend to float around and could get dinged.



What I don't understand is why PSA doesn't use holders designed for stamp collectors when holdering stamps or thin issues (as used by its sister company PSE)- unless the dimensions don't match any existing holders, it would seem like the thing to do.

Similarly, I don't see why SGC won't use coin holders from its sister company when grading sports coins or pins.
