Which Toploader Will Protect Your Cards

When protecting your sports cards, choosing the right size toploader is key. You don’t want a top loader that causes the card to shift around too much, but you also don’t want one that is too snug.Get more news about 3x4 toploader manufacturer,you can vist our website!

And with so much variety in card thickness in sports card products today, it can be difficult to remember which top loaders to keep in stock.First, remember that we measure top loaders in thickness in millimeters. You should be able to find a number on the outside of the package of top loaders you have in stock. That number is the millimeter thickness of the toploader.

A 35 point or “standard” (as is it often labeled) top loader is the thinnest top loader you can find. You can use these for any standard, paper base card (i.e. not chrome) in almost any product.

You can use this size top loader for all chrome cards, including base cards, Prizms, and autographs. The extra width provides enough room for any “warp” or “bend” that may exist in any card.

Some mid-end or high-end products have thicker base cards that will require a 100 point top loader. Also, most jersey or memorabilia cards will fit into a 100 point toploader, but save the thicker, “patch” memorabilia cards for the thicker toploaders.

Most mid-end or high-end products will have thick base stock and will need toploaders at least 130 points or higher. You should follow the same advice with base cards and hits.

The thickest card stock out there can usually be protected with 180 point toploaders, though there are some exceptions.

The thickest card stock out there can usually be protected with 180 point top loaders, though there are some exceptions. You can pick them up on Amazon.Not many products have cards that go beyond 180 point stock, but occasionally you will come across some ultra-thick cards that are hard to protect. These are usually cleat, glove, helmet, or ball cards that you cannot protect with a standard toploader (even the thick ones).

For these, you can use snap shut or slide cases that are meant to hold up to 50 cards at once (1500 mm or more). Just make sure there is a little room above the card. It shouldn’t be “jammed” in the case, but make sure it is snug and not sliding around.
