yeah, I'm torn on this.
i totally agree with Bill that Card Savers are the "standard". top loaders are far more common from my perspective.
that said, i feel like i bang up corners inserting cards into penny sleeves, so i have started moving towards card savers myself. i have found that some card savers do tend to yellow over time, while my Ultra Pro toploaders seem fine after many years.
card savers are great for removing cards from them (which is why i think they're great for grading submissions), but i find them not great for inserting the cards...if the corner is somewhat dinged, when sliding them in the saver, i think it can exacerbate the corner wear.
Anyhow, its a toss up. Find something from Ultra Pro or BCW in my opinion. Acid free, etc.
