Default pros and cons

I have used both extensively.

In general I like the card savers better because 1) The cards can't move in them and corners are better protected and 2) As previously mentioned they are clearer and cards look better in them.

On the other hand, the top loaders are more durable and a stronger level of protection. If you use the penny sleeve method - card in penny sleeve, penny sleeve in top loader, you significantly mitigate any potential corner damage from the card moving around.

So it kind of depends on the storage environment and level of handling skill as well as how clearly you prefer to see your cards

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
