Best Practices for Sleeving Trading Cards
Always Use Penny Sleeves
Place cards in a penny sleeve before inserting into a toploader to prevent scratches and surface damage.
Measure Thickness First
Use a caliper or ruler to measure card thickness in PT or inches before selecting a toploader size.
Snug but Not Tight
Cards should slide in smoothly without force. If you must push hard, size up.
Use Glove-Fit Sleeves
Seal toploaders in Glove-Fit bags for storage to prevent dust and scratches.
Common Collector Mistakes
Forcing a Fit
Never jam a card into a tight toploader. This damages corners and edges.
Skipping the Penny Sleeve
Cards touching plastic directly collect micro-scratches. Sleeve first.
Using Oversized Loaders
Extra space lets cards move and round corners. Match PT closely.
Stacking Multiple Cards
Avoid stacking valuable cards in one toploader. Safer for bulk only.

Collector Comments
Samuel
The 40pt and 35pt toploaders are the best out there. They hold regular thickness cards such as topps. You can use them for chrome type cards but are a little snug
The 55pt toploaders are great for cards such as bowman chrome and topps chrome.
I recommend any of cardshellz toploaders. The seamless frame look make even the presentation of any cards look great.
