Ultra Pro vs. BCW: which is better?
For you "binder guys", which sheet is better, Ultra Pro or BCW? I have only bought BCW and have been fairly pleased, but I have noticed that the cards (especially in the middle row) sometimes don't fit as well. As a result, the top of the card is sometimes exposed. Does this also happen with Ultra Pro? I have tried to put the cards in penny sleeves for extra protection, but the fit is a little snug and the sleeve "wrinkles".
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences. Ed Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ultra Pro here as well. The ones I was using for my sets in binders is the Platinum kind, I was quite happy with them. If I had a high value, high grade card, I don't really trust them in pages.
But for "mid" grade, I don't have any issues with the "Platinum" brand As for BCW, can't really comment, as I haven't tried them.

Hi, Ed.
Ultra-Pro Platinum for me, too. I have found that BCW products leave much to be desired whereas it concerns size. Along with the pages (as you mentioned) their soft sleeves fit so tightly, I fear that a corner will get chipped every time I place a card in one of them. Attached are a few images: the box; the product number; and a Topps Heritage set bindered with Ultra-Pro pages. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Eric

Eric, Thanks for the info and pics. Your Heritage set looks great in the binder BTW. I have just completed the 1965 Topps set and wanted to put the cards in penny sleeves before inserting into the pages. They don't fit well in the BCW pages. I definitely think I will give the Ultra Pro Platinum a try. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the replies. I will be giving the Ultra Pro sheets a try. I must say, however, that I think the BCW binders are better quality than the Ultra Pro. They seem to be more sturdy and durable.
