T3 Pages?

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Over the years I have picked a dozen T3's that I absolutely love. I prefer to have my cards in albums, does anyone have a suggestion for the pages to hold a T3?

Do you want to be able to see the backs or not?

Good question Rob, I would look at a front only option.

My recommendation is to put them in 8x10 top loads. They are thick so they should stay in the toploads fairly well without movement. Then slide the toploads into 8 1/2 x 11 pages. I would think putting them into pages without the top load would leave them vulnerable to damage.

There may be another maybe better option if it works. If they would fit into a 6x9 topload (maybe someone else can help) - it would be a better fit and then you could put the top load into an 8x10 page.

T3s absolutely fit in 6x9 toploaders. They make 3 hole pages for comics that fit the 6x9s decently well....better than an 8x10 anyway. But if you want a tighter more custom look, you get an impulse sealer for $30 on amazon and make your own custom pages with whatever size pockets you want.

Great info gentleman thank you.

Vario pages are perfect and there are binders made specifically for them.

But I always feel I will damage a large card's corners or edges putting it in a big holder.

This is what I do with all oversized items. It makes them rigid and easy to flip through. No brainer in my opinion especially for T3’s

I use vario and lighthouse etc pages a lot for stamps, and I wouldn't be comfortable putting T-3s in them. They just aren't stiff enough to prevent cracking and other damage.

My one T-3 is in a screwdown I made myself back when I got it. Maybe the first oversize screwdown made? I think I'd seen one or two regular size ones before I made mine.

I would look at these Vario pages. They are made for stamps, but work well for other applications as well. They are very stiff and will hold a T3 nicely. The black back makes a great background for your card.
