Default Top Loader vs Card Saver for vintage?

My only experience with Mylar and it was extremely difficult to get the cards into sheets that were way more rigid than I expected. The HOF and other archivists use Mylar because they expect the cards to last for another thousand plus years. Selfishly, I need mine to be preserved archivally for only about the next 50 or 60 years…[emoji851]

In all seriousness, while poly sleeves and toploaders might not be as inert a material as Mylar, they are still considered archival quality.
