I have to disagree. 95% of the cards I buy, including 100% of the cards from comc.com, are in top loaders. I have purchased about 400 cards from various sources over the last three years, and have not received a one in a card saver. Not a one. Penny sleeve, top loader, and team bag.
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.
