Dust

[lmanson85]

I seem to have this never ending issue of very light dust (static)clinging to my top loaders. This isn’t a super big deal but it is a little unnerving going through my PC and feeling the particles rubbing between the plastic. Is this just me? If not, how do you guys deal with this annoyance?

Yep, definitely an issue and super annoying for me as well. What I've done is for anything PC or just holding onto I use poly bags, not the oversized garbage ones from Ultra Pro - I use the snug fit ones from Superior Fit Innovations. This is expensive and time consuming, but at least the problems is fixed. All my traders are strictly in toploaders and get dusty. For cards in binders I use the 9 card pages with a "secure flap" that not only keeps the cards from sliding out, but also eliminates dust from getting in. Again, this is more expensive but it solved the problem.

I did this awhile back. Bought all new top loaders and the SFI bags and did all my PC cards. They look amazing and the loaders never scratch.

Ah, I was afraid you were going to say something like sleeping the. Haha
Thanks for the SFI suggestion, I just put in an order.

I did the SFI conversion a few years ago when I got some cards from Jeremy Lee and asked him who made them. Hundreds of the peel off plastic strips all over my house later, my collection is more compact and protected. I have hundreds of one touches now just sitting in a box I need to figure out what to do with.

I switched most of my pc into SFI sleeves last year, and they look amazing. My suggestion would be to scan your cards before putting them in. I can't bear to take them out for scanning after they have the new sleeves on. :laugh:

I'm putting a bunch in 9-card pages, and a binder as well...was there a specific binder you bought that had this 'secure flap', or did you add something to your existing binder? Can you share a picture?

They mean card pages with an extra flap to cover the opening. Ultra Pro sells these. LINK
