One caution on the mylar in a toploader.

I did that for a few cards. When I went to send a few in for grading it was a huge fight to get the card out. The Mylar essentially is so smooth that it seals to itself, and over time to the inside of the toploader. I'm pretty sure I creased one getting it out, and since then have cut the few others out of the toploader.

No damage from the Mylar, it's essentially inert.

So Mylar in a toploader will be good for preservation, as long as removing it won't be a regular event.

I have the few photos I have in comic or magazine bags and backing boards.
