When tightened too much they can flatten the card or make indentations, or worse, after years of storage, they can pull a card in two when removal is attempted.

Or so I've heard. Again I've never used one.

I store my set in penny sleeves (do these still cost a penny?), in a standard 9-pocket page, in a binder. About a dozen have been graded. I keep those in the same binder, in 4-pocket pages in the front of the binder.

As an alternative, if you want more protection, those same 4-pocket pages can hold the cards when they are in either a top loader or a semi-rigid holder.

If you opt not to go the binder route, I've always been a proponent of Card Saver II's. The card presents much better than it does in a top loader and it doesn't bounce around the way some cards do in top loaders.

I've never had a problem with screwdowns, but I always put the card in a sleeve first and I never tightened it down any more than it needed to hold the card in place.

I used to keep them in 9 pocket sheets because I like flipping though sets that way. Sold my set a few years ago.
