Mag & One-Screw Cases - fool me twice...

[jchcollins]

I have been back and forth on this again even after buying a bunch of 20-pt Pro Mold one screws last week. Yes, you can use a penny sleeve with them, but some cards just look like crap put in that way.

For right now I’m leaving it with the conclusion of different cases for different cards: Some cards just do best in a toploader. Some cards look great in a screw case. Some cards (that don’t move egregiously...) I will leave in a TPG slab.

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I figured it was better than starting another thread on this subject as I have one simple question. I will preface my question by saying that I have recently found out that I actually like these things. Specifically, I have a few 35 pt Ultra Pro mag holders, and I am pretty satisfied with them. While largely a vintage collector, I am also dabbling in modern Topps cards. That's largely what I'd be putting in these mags. The 35 pt is working quite well for the standard parallels. I do, however, have a few certified on card autos that I'd like to put in these as well. Do you think it is ok sticking with the 35 pt for the autos, or should I go for the 55 pt and give them a little room? I will display them on the little display stands that you sometimes see so they will be tilted back ever so slightly and, thus, there might not be as much concern about the autos touching the inside of the front of the holder anyway. I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks.

"Thick card" penny sleeves (which are wider) make it easier to insert card into penny sleeve preventing corner dinging, to put into CSI for grading

I don't know if these are commercial products or custom but whatever Topps uses for its 2020 Project cards are really nice:

I have noticed those as well. They remind me of what the Topps Vault cards are often in. I like them.

I think those are some type of BCW mag cases, if memory serves. Robert - interestingly enough I've never had any of those. I would think the 35 point BCW would be pretty much the exact same thing as a UP One Touch.

Yep, and looking at it again, I think you are right. I am plenty satisfied with the Ultra Pro 35pt.
