Ultra Pro Penny Sleeves PVC/Acid Free?

[jlehma13]

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..

I'm with you, Leon.

I've got my one ungraded T206 in a Card Saver I, and I'd planned on doing that with the others I have coming in. Should I consider penny sleeves and top loaders instead? I use the Card Saver because it prevents the card from sliding around, and my understanding is that they don't require penny sleeves.

Bill,
It's all personal preference. I like top loaders because they are smaller and stack better than Card Savers. Plus it's a lot easier to get a card in and out of a top loader (at least IMO), even with a sleeve (which I always use). The people that use Card Savers do so for the very reason you mentioned and I agree that they are best for shipping/stabilizing cards, but I don't put my top loaders in my pocket upside down while I'm on a trampoline so I never understood using them at home. But that's just me. Card Savers are cheaper, too, if I'm not mistaken -so that could be a factor for dealers and/or bigger collections.

Bill,
A penny sleeve in a top loader (generally) won't let the card slide around either.

I've found that the best way to store your cards is the way YOU prefer to store them. There are X number of ways to store your cards and Y number of reasons for doing so. And just like the answer to what you should collect, there IS no correct answer. Just opinions.

FWIW... I put all my 3x4 or smaller cards in penny sleeves (with some of them going into 3x4 top loaders as well), and store them in 2-wide shoe boxes. It works just fine for "me" and "my" collection.

Not a huge fan of cardsavers given that glossy cards sometimes peel on to them. Never had a problem with pre-war in them, but I don't think it's wise to have the face of a baseball card pressed against plastic.
