Card Protectant Question: Oversized Cards

[gfel2795]

I like the one-touch magnetics for showcasing my top cards.

I have a couple of oversized vintage Bowman cards from the early 1950s that I want to get one-touches for but they are too big. Is there such a product designed for these types of cards?

The only thing I know of is the four-screw-down which is pretty bulky or the top-loader which I would like to stay away from for these nicer cards.

What do you guys/girls use in this situation?

For anything outside the standard range, I believe toploaders are your only option.
Personally I'd like to see Ultra Pro come out with quite a lot more variety in terms of sizes of magnetic one touch cases. Oversized cards, tall boys, and early vintage cards need protection, and would look great in one touch cases, but there are none made for them.

the problem for vintage is that they're such odd sizes that you almost need custom by the year. i agree though - i have several bowman baseball cards i'd rather put in something heavier than top loaders.

I've found that a lot of minor league sets also are a little oversized and don't fit in one touches. They should make some sort of vintage one touches though

Yes and No



Ultra pro does make penny sleeves for the 'Tall Boy' size of hockey cards... but that is the largest they make. There are top loaders for all sizes of cards....

WHat I have seen done is this:


take an ultra pro sheet - a 4 card sheet or a 2 card sheet, depending on what your card size is, and cut out a single cell. Use that as a penny sleeve. Next, go and get ahold of some of the larger screw down (non pocket) slabs from Ultra Pro. These are the ones that you used to see Gretzky Rookies in back in the early 90's. MAKE SURE TO USE A PENNY SLEEVE / SHEET CELL AS IF YOU DON'T YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR CARDS.


man... I sound like an Ultra Pro salesmen
