Thanks for the link Frank....you know, it took Topps making T206 size cards for Ultra Pro to finally make a sleeve for Tobacco cards.

I've used these in the past. I do not now. Don't want to disparage the product but once you put a card in them plan on never taking them out. It's a real bear and you risk damage to the card. This was especially true with Old Judges because they are a little thicker than most modern cards and fit too tightly.

Steve,

Do they fit the T206s without any problem?

T206 fit nicely but as with most hard top loaders it is difficult getting the card out. I'm sure you've experienced that even with the standard size top loader. I've had cards shoot across the room during extraction if the fit is too loose. Maybe with the penny sleeve that would not be a problem. Finally, I prefer cards savers because there are not any hard edges that could cause damage to the card.

Anyone that jams a nrmt raw tobacco card into one of them deserves the lesson they will receive. For a nice option to grading low grade T206s, I'd bet they are perfect.

I've found that with regular toploaders in conjunction with penny sleeves, using a pair of quality flat tweezers you can open the toploader a little - and then grasp the uppermost section of the sleeve and pull both the sleeve and card with it out quite easily and with no risk to the card enclosed......probably not genius and everyone does it the same way, but just thought I'd share.
I assume the same method could be used comfortably with the tobacco toploaders.....

What penny sleeves you guys are referring to? Do you mean those sleeves t206 museum is selling?
