Best non-slab way to display/ protect a card?
 

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Hello all... with the recent PSA decision to give half grades and all the talk over mistakes/ grades given, I'm slowly starting to think that slabbing my collection is a big waste of money long term. 10-15 years from now I'll have to pay a different company or need to re-submit something and pay again? All that money is better spent on ACTUAL CARDS and if I want to sell, then I can go to grade I guess (or whatever the best method is at that point.)<br /><br />At any rate I'm looking for suggestions on the best non-slab holders to display and protect. Anyone got suggestions? I do like the uniform presentation a set of slabs gives you, but I have a feeling it will be a never ending cycle of money. Forgive me if this topic has already been beaten to death.

Posted By: <b>Red</b><p>The people who sold screwdown holders had to sell their mansions when grading provided holders for millions of unaltered cards. Screwdowns are still out there and are a safer option over semi-rigid holders or pages if the cards will be handled often. Just make sure to use an archival quality sleeve and use a minimal amount of pressure to hold the card in place.

Posted By: <b>Jason Carota</b><p>All of my cards that are not slabbed go inside a penny sleeve, rigid top loader, and are placed inside a team bag (or graded card bag if the penny sleeve/loader combo is too big.)

Posted By: <b>Rob</b><p>i agree w/Jason - penny sleeve + top loader. You can buy them in bulk for a fair price. <br /><br />Rob<br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
