smaller card toploaders?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any cheap options to hold t206-size tobacco cards? I’m thinking of something like a top-loader but made specifically for smaller cards. I know I could just get screw-down cases but wondering if there was any specific products out there that case these smaller cards that are less expensive than just getting them graded (which I might end up doing just for the nicer looking cases).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,

One option is to cut down a standard size toploader and use it as a "side loader." T206's seem to fit well into holders this way.

Ed- have you thought about storing them in top loader sheets? There have been a lot of advancements since the early days, archival quality, eliminating plasticizers and crystal clarity. I keep all my T205s, 6s and 7s in these.

They do exist. Here's one of my T207s in a regular toploader with a miniature one laid on top for comparison. It came in the mail from an ebay seller and is the only one I have of that size, but presumably they have been mass produced by someone.

SGC holders for the good ones and regular top loaders + regular penny sleeves for the not so good ones -- or yet to be graded ones. But, here's another option, that might be more to your liking:
