Same ones. That's why I went the larger Ultra Pro's. I had the same problem with the penny slips, that's why I went to the larger Ultra Pros (the "graded card submission" version). Penny slips fit in easier, but the larger semi-rigids take up more space and require bigger vault boxes. I've just never gotten a clear answer on whether or not they have acid or pvc in them. The slips definitely don't (or at least are marketed as such). But, as you've attested along with many others, lots of people have had their cards in them for decades with no problems.

I am probably way too anal but I store them as you do, first in the penny sleeve and then in the larger semi rigid card savers.

My thinking is that if I have to remove the card from the larger semi rigid card saver for whatever reason, I never have to touch the actual card as it is in a penny sleeve. And, inserted in the larger semi rigid holders, the penny sleeve has never bunched up.

How do BCW products stack up with Ultra-Pro? A lot of BCW products out there and I am curious as to the quality.

Also, anything out there in storage boxes besides the drab cardboard? I once saw an advertisement for a high end card storage product, on a website, that appeared to be leather with a prominent, shiny buckle in the middle. Have been looking ever since for it. Also, the see-thru plastic.
