T206 Pro Mold Screwdown

[bbcard1]

My way of doing things....whole set in two small photo boxes. I actually put card and holder in regular top load and then put both in a team set bag.

I only have one of them, but these are much nicer looking in hand than in the picture.

Have never purchased a ProMold but was given some by a member. Thanks again Luke.

I use them for display purposes with the cards lying flat. I use a penny sleeve inside which helps with the cards shifting, but does not eliminate the problem. Cards stored vertically or shifted around a lot will slide around a bit which is a negative.

For my digital files, scanning a raw card in a ProMold can create the look of a graded card when they are formatted the same way. I sort of like that. I've added a few examples.

For storing a large number of cards and schlepping them around, the ProMold is not the best option.

Funny that I should find this thread. Not two hours ago I was admiring a screw down lucite holder containing three E107s including Plank which is a fairly important card. I knew there was a little slippage in there. Then I dropped the damn thing in the floor and to my surprise the center card Eddie Murphy slid halfway out of the holder. One more bounce and the card would have been creased or torn in two. Luckily no damage but I am through with screwdowns I think. I've been thinking of grading my E107s and that seems to be wise now just for protection. Not like I'm going to fill an album full of them anyway.

I usually don't become violent with my collection but, ................

for cards that I enjoy dropping or throwing, I prefer the Beckett holder.

Be thirsty, my friend.

That's the problem with single-screw screwdowns. Four-screw screwdowns are second only to Beckett as weapons in some parts of the world.

I've had very good luck with this company's 4-screw holders:

Edited to add, that they apparently also carry the Pro-mold products. But I've always just used their own (BCW) models. No sliding issues.
