card saving inception dates?

[irv]

Does anyone use these for their Vintage or other era cards?

I want some for my 52 Topps cards and was hoping to pick some up at the recent Toronto card Expo but struck out.

I like the fact the card can't fall out and is reasonably secured inside with nothing pushing down on them.

I have my Mays and Mantle in cubes/blocks, on their side (no weight pushing down) and although they are fine (recently checked after 20yrs) I'd still like to get them out of those based on what I have read here about them.

I am looking for these or other best ideas o what you think I should store them in, other than getting them slabbed of course.

I've used a few of them. Mostly the really thick ones they make for modern stuff.

The plus side is that they're really solid and don't pinch the cards at all.
The downsides are that there's no cutout for the corners, which is always a tradeoff, a chance to ding the corners, but no risk of dings a bit in from the corner.
The other obvious problem is that there's no room for cards that are slightly oversize.

Thanks Steve.

Having recessed/cutout corners would be a plus for sure, and when you say they are really tight, I assume there would be no room for a plastic penny sleeve too?

Was really hoping these would work as I want to get my Mantle and Mays out of those cubes but don't necessarily want to store them in top loaders.

Found a few places on E-Bay that sells them and was about to order them up shortly but now you have me rethinking that?
