Ultra Pro Penny Sleeves PVC/Acid Free?

[T205 GB]

BCW make as similar product that is cheaper and the binder pages hold more. That's my preference

I don't have an old package handy, but the new ones are clear about it.

Are you sure they're ultra pro?

If it's made of polypropylene or Mylar, (a form of polyester) it's just fine.

These are the ones I am talking about. 10 sleeves and 10 toploaders.

Interesting. Nothing on their website either.

I'd think the sleeves were the same stuff as their other sleeves, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to email them.

I've used just about everything that's come along since 1974 at one time or another. I haven't had many problems. The old vinyl pages had their troubles of course, No damage on any of my stuff but I'm finally out of them completely. And no issues with any sleeves I've used.
I did have some sleeves that were left in the sun for around 5 years get brittle and come apart when touched. No damage to the cards.
And actual Mylar sleeves are a nuisance in toploaders. The ones I had were melted together leaving a thick seam. Espaecially at the corners. So I had to cut the corners off to get them in the toploaders. After a few years they got stuck to the toploader. Not chemically since Mylar is mostly inert, but no air between two smooth surfaces means it's not coming out. After damaging a card removing it, I went with cutting the toploaders afterwards.

I'm not sure about the new ones, but the toploaders do get yellow with age especially if exposed to light.

Thank you Steve. I did send them an email and will let you know what they say. It's good to know that although you have had sleeves go bad on you, they didn't affect the card. I never thought I'd be so over-protective about my ripped and torn beater cards but i'd like to preserve them for as long as possible!

Feel free to contact me for either toploaders and sleeves for tobacco or binder pages. Have a bunch left over from when I used to sell them.

I use Ultra Pro Toploaders and sleeves for all of my cards. I have never used the small ones like these Ts

in preference of using the Ultra Pro 3 x 4, thereby lessening the different sizes I need. I also use 4 x 6, 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 ones (and some larger). And no, I don't own stock in their company , it's just what I use for ungraded cards, such as this one below..
