Better than a toploader, you're probably looking at a Snap-Tite or a One Touch magnetic. I'm sure they make both for 52-56 sizes.

Does BCCG grade them? I know the uninformed hate BCCG but I believe that was the reason Beckett done it. It is more for collectors wanting to protect their cards instead of putting them in a magic plastic holder to make them more valuable.

Default Cases. Holders? Cases...

I hate BCCG and I am not uninformed, trust me. The problem is they try to fool the uninformed by assigning grades like "8" to a card that is only EX in attempts to get someone to think it's the equivalent of what "8" means in the rest of the grading world. I just think it's very shady. I certainly would not send in a card to be slabbed just for their case.

From looking myself, neither of those 2 will work for the larger 52 Topps cards as far as I know.

I was very close to purchasing these (Pro-Molds) but since I was having trouble obtaining them in Canada, I decided just use vintage top loaders with vintage sleeves.

These would have been preferred for sure. They were exactly what I was looking for but I looked to no avail.

UVA protection is a nice feature. Don't believe PSA and SG have that.

Just bought a Pro Mold holder for my lone Old Judge card. You're right, a Card Saver is so wimpy for such a nice card that I don't want to get graded. I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

Wish they offered a size for 33-34 Goudey.

Not really a fan of the snap-tites just because I don't like the way they look, but live and die by ultrapro one-touch. However, Irv is right, they don't fit the odd size. Have to go with pro-mold for any odd sizes as they make them for almost every issue.

Happy to see ultrapro did come out with a tobacco size one-touch though.

Default Freeing Some.. Got Lucky..

These have been laying flat for quite sometime but got lucky.. I'll do more later after the games and ordered some Pro Mold holders to store them. I can not believe they could cause that much damage..Thanks again!!

I just liberated around two dozen cards from various types of screwdown and snap-tite holders. The cards varied from early 50's (55' Koufax) to early 80's (84T Mattingly) and had been stored on end for maybe 25 years.

Fortunately, the only card I had any problem with was a 1983 Wade Boggs RC that stuck a bit to the top plate on a screwdown. I used a razor blade to pry it off, but lost a tiny bit of paper in the process. Ended up putting them all in toploaders.

Didn't think of the freezer trick at the time, but we did use to do that back in the early '80s to get the gum to not stick to the cards. Wax boxes of baseball cards in the freezer.

Sharp looking cards; glad they don't have any damage.
