How to Protect, Store, and Display Your Cards SCIU EP. #6

[@donkiddick966]

I’ve recently put my higher value cards in top loaders, and wasn’t happy how they sit at the top, and didn’t want to force them down in case I damaged them. I used your advice on tapping them on the table, now they sit in perfect. That advice alone deserves a sub 😁

[@GAME1BOY]

huge help for me, i just started collecting and im using the top loaders and i damaged a card, im thinking of trying titan shield sleeves next

[@T-TiiMe]

Now THIS is the type of content we need! Less top 5 card lists, more of these helpful vids!

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Would also recommend putting your graded card in a graded card bag to protect it from scratches . It sucks buying a high end card only find the case scratched .

[@ozsportscardcollector4720]

PSA and SGC slabs interlock. I keep mine in the boxes in which they were returned from the TPG. But yes a scratched slab is not a good thing.

[@playmaker88x51]

Exactly, Slab Conditions Matter

[@freedomfight1933]

It's that 2nd corner of the card going into the penny sleeves that can hit the top edges of it. In the past with very expensive cards what I've done on a tip from a card shop is cut open the top sides of the penny sleeve about half an inch right on the seem. That can allow more space on top to get the 2nd corner in. 99% of the time I've seen people putting cards in penny sleeves they do just what he does in this video with the first corner and then the 2nd gets pushed though with the top of the sleeve basically all the way together. This often touches that 2nd corner.

[@gicueN17R0]

Or try taking the sleeve and grab the sleeve like he shows but rub back and forth. It opens up that final side fir easy opening. But like your idea as well as long as you don't compromise the sleeve.

[@freedomfight1933]

@@gicueN17R0 I do that but I still feel like that 2nd corner can touch the top of the plastic edge because the sleeve has to be pretty spread out to get the 2nd corner in.

[@gicueN17R0]

@@freedomfight1933 no. You're definitely right here. I've used that trick I told and only if you really are lucky or aggressive with the rubbing it does it sometimes hold that side open enough not to even cause a bit of a hang up. I did think it would be good to share tho. Some people may not like cutting it even if it's still ok. So just an alternative method. But yea, you're right. It doesn't always work. And I HATE that second side trying to put it in. I'm doing this now after 25+ years away from the hobby so a lot of this is news partly because I'm only 41 and a kid back then really. So I am not taking it as seriously as I'm trying to now so that I can help my struggling nephew out. He is a great kid worrying about me because I'm terminally ill although he doesn't necessarily know the word he understands the possibility. And he's going thru the absolute worst divorce that I've ever witnessed or been aware of. Like to strangle the guy but I'm too old and sick to goto jail. He's beat my sister and tried to strangle her. I just dont know how much of the stuff he is trying to pull or the stuff he's doing to.the kids. Mental health for them is like a joke. And then getting bullied on top of it all. So I'm doing this for him and him only really. I mean if I can turn it into a business he gets his cut etc. Even at 7yo. This was our deal. Just like if he stays in school & does well he gets my only car. Black Mustang chocolate leather interior. I got bullied too. Was a part of Columbine years ago so I know what driving a bad car can feel like when your getting made fun of can turn into. This whole thing has me sick. Sorry for explaining so much. I guess wtiting it wad kinda cathartic. 🤷

[@bsscards3593]

How do I still receive cards "secured" with scotch tape?

[@Diabolous3x]

One more thing he did not mention (that is pretty critical) is, as a rule your hands are never clean and will transfer fingerprints, the average person touches their face and skin and so on many times during the day and getting those micro-layers of oil on the fingers will transfer to the cards (100% of the time). Don't ever handle cards in any seriousness without wearing gloves. Must be the certain type of glove that won't transfer fingerprints through the latex. Another thing when were on it, is humidity of the environment. Make sure that the surrounding environment is cool and dry; many cards I acquire have penny sleeves stuck to the cards so bad that they need to be cut out of them, and it's because of the relative humidity. Those cards usually need some heavy cleaning before they can have any attempt at being graded. I understand this vid is for the beginner, but moving from the beginner phase to the intermediate and expert phase happens very quickly, usually within a year or two, so you might as well have spoken about this issue. People might swear blind that they don't need gloves, but when you're grading all the time, the serious news is that you most definitely do.

[@bigstupidgrin]

Late to the comment but thanks, I’m considering getting into collecting and had this question

[@thaddagirl6935]

What gloves do you recommend?

[@ordude123]

that pinch to create a crease is a pro move

[@andreskalayaan6208]

For collectors residing in tropical areas and who are victims of graded card moist, you can use a dry cabinet for cameras as storage boxes for your valuable cards. Been using one for a year and had never encountered moist in my gra cards again. 👍

[@jaegerists2172]

how about cards in penny sleeves, how to remove those??, they stuck and have moist

[@thecrossupcollector]

On top of these ways Geoff mentioned, when storing cards in a top loader I will cut one side of the Penny sleeve a few millimeters from the top, this helps slide the card in without damage to the corners. I also use post it flags or sticky flags to attach to the back of the sleeve, this helps when removing the card and sleeve from the toploader.

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

If you slice the edge of the penny sleeve, it will be the best tip you can ever receive. You can seriously damage the corners from time to time if you don’t do this.

[@countryclubbin1016]

Great tip, I always do this with a little flick

[@Beemn633]

I’m starting to use the vintage card penny sleeve and that little bit of extra width is nice. It may move within the penny sleeve, but I’ll work with it as opposed to nicking the corner on a valuable card.

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

[@stresmaldonado]

For folks asking about one touch with penny sleeves, you want to get Pro Mold cases. The first or second gen will work, but they allow you to put the card in a penny sleeve first, then put it in the case. They, hands down, make the best cases. Pro Mold Gen 2 35 point will handle most regular sized-thickness cards (prizm, optic, etc) I’m in the process of moving all my big cards from top loaders to Pro Molds (if they’re not already graded). Was getting too many cards in top loaders with little indentations from specks of dust/debris getting into the top of the top loader

[@Matt-vh9vs]

I dont think PSA puts penny sleeves into their slabs do they? , why do people feel the need to do it with One touch?? just curious im a noob

[@snubdawg1386]

@@Matt-vh9vs good question

[@airjordan23jumpman]

What is ur opinion on One Screw vs Magnetic ? Should a sleeve be used with a One Screw

[@maythe4th420]

I bought an HandGun case at a pawn shop. It had foam were you could pull out foam to fit whatever. I've had for years way before you could buy one. It's waterproof,smell proof, and as damage proof as you can get. Has lock slots that double for slinge so can were over shoulder. Also Magnetic holders do scratch card especially chrome or prizm. #UltraPro should make a little bigger cases were penny sleeves fit. PSA can confirm. For those of us who have collected and graded for you years remember Topps Chrome Box Toppers. They would almost never get 10s because movement of card causes lil scratches. My 2002 TB12 Topps Pristine Refractor /99 uncirculated and Joe Thomas Red Refractor RC both came in uncirculated top loaders both got 9s because of surface scratches.

[@simondaughtry4619]

I use card pouches for my newly graded PSA slabs... I really like the clear frame protectors you mentioned.

[@Looch1717]

Good video! I gotta say though, I hate the semi-rigids. Its hard to get the card in there sometimes. Something else to consider, graded slabs are great EXCEPT for that they dont protect vs UV lights. One-Touches, if they have the golden magnet, do.

[@matthiaskidd439]

Newer psa and sgc slabs do protect from a certain amount of UV light depending on the type. However I dont know anyone that displays their slabs in full sunlight

[@stephenbianchi7141]

When I mail out my eBay sales, I just put the stamp on the card. Y'all so extra. Seriously, though, I have to make a recommendation. I recently learned of magnetic one touches that are designed to be used with a card IN a penny sleeve. My thought is that the cards you choose to one touch are going to be the cards you admire the most often, show off, pass around the table, take to shows as trade bait, etc. Basically, the cards that get put in a one touch are likely going to be the cards that get handled the most. I've never had card get damaged in a one touch, screw downs included. I do, however, love the idea of having a soft sleeve between my cards and hard plastic. Love ya homie. I've put a few people on to you and we all respect your content.

[@wbrandon78]

Not sure if you're still reading these comments. One thing I didn't hear you talk about is temperature and humidity of the storage area you are storing cards in is huge for both the card itself, and the penny sleeve. Great video, thanks for making it!

Natural wood boxes absord the moisture even before it gets to the cards. All the plastics would retain moisture, especially in hot, humid areas. Hobby craft stores.

[@douglasmckinley-sr1507]

Best penny sleeve for 1952 & 1953 Topps baseball cards.

[@ozsportscardcollector4720]

I used to put nicer cards in one touches but I've gone off that idea. Some cards are too snug in there and some have movement. Also, some cards have a small bow in them and that results in the case coming into contact with the surface. To counteract this I used to put a penny sleeve on the surface of the card. That was a pain in the.....neck. I now just do penny sleeve, toploader, and teambag. Temperature control is most important. Cards do not like heat and/or humidity - especially foil cards.

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

I agree with you. The one touch case makes the card look great, but a penny sleeve and either a top loader or a card saver is the best way to go with a team bag over them to keep dust out.

[@matthoffman6962]

Depends what you’re doing with the card. If you’re displaying it best is to go for a UV one touch. There is some movement but not enough to damage the card in any way. I’ve tested this and the only damage you will get is if you violently shake the case back and forth. For protection only and not displaying. Penny sleeve, toploader, team bag.

I only have raw cards at the moment. Penny sleeves, then top loading them. I store them in Pokémon tins. Loose cards are in penny sleeves in cardboard box/mail envelope packaging I saved. Works for me! I always push lightly down on the card when sleeving 😬 Got away with no damage to the card each time, but I’ll try tapping on a solid surface next time.

im surprised all these years no one has never or even thought of this idea i think the best way to store and seal it with a vac seal machine i have done this for than a decade now. all my cards always comes back psa 10,pristine 10 i promise you that this is the only method you need to do for storing cards from months thru years later on to sell or grade sleeve it with a penny and put it in a semi rigid card holder make sure you have the card all the way down at bottom inside the semi and then seal the top of the the lip of the semi rigid holder and team bag it and your good to go consider this as slabbing your card but make sure you customize the vac seal machine remove the rubber/foam lip from the machine thats pretty much it i have my vac machne customized with a deck coming out mounted on the machine so i can lay my card on it with ease and seal it team bag it and put it away thats it ive been doing this since the late 90's and had no problems ive tested 3-6months to 12months to a few years the card is stilll mint in great condition you can say this is another way of slabbing your card you guys should try this out and take this method in consideration and to GEOFF too trust me you wont regret this.

[@Methyl_The_Sneasel]

Great video except for 2 very specific things. 1. Toploaders don't need a piece of tape to prevent the card coming out as long as you are not shipping it. If you do, it's better to use saran wrap around the toploader, so the buyer doesn't have to throw that toploader away. Card savers don't need tape at all. 2. You shouldn't put unsleeved cards in One Touch holders, there's perfect fit sleeves for most standard card sizes, and pretty much all of them fit on One Touch holders. For standard size cards, a good option is Dragonshield sealable sleeves, because they protect all 4 edges and both sides when the card is in the One Touch.

[@paulcarey191]

good vid by a good man, tku but your missing a couple issues. The 1st Q an A - is a safety deposit box safe for cards with regards to temperature? i have read that proper storage of cards is between 68 - 72 degrees (a fine line by the way), now i know banks have a.c. and rotate shifts quick enough so that the temp does not drop to much either way, but they do turn off the a.c. when closed and same with heat in the winter, and the temp does fluctuate - i was told some where between 4 - 8 degrees either direction, so something to think about! so far i have not seen a podcast that touches on this. Also humidity even a more important issue, i know some storage rooms have temp control, but the bank vaults do not, they are all about profit, and best believe they safe as much money as possible with con-ed, they do not care about what you store in their safe boxes, thats on us!! as for humility they absolutely do not use dehumidifier's. - 45% - 55% is the desired humidity % from what i read so far... thats another thing to think about. Also a good question is once a card is slabbed - PSA/BECK/SGC etc... does that protect the card better from these issues? and finally in regard to display, you have not addressed the issue of light affecting autographed cards, i read that not only does natural sunlight destroy and fade auto's so quick, most people would not believe it, but light from a simple light bulb is just as destructive, i have actually seen store owners throwing out faded autographs by the box load to my horror, kind of like jim belushi having a mental breakdown in the movie animal home, when campus security was clearing out their dorms bar, and the mover trips, dropping a box of scotch braking all the bottles! i held my hands to my head and let out a very similar sound of despair!! so from what iv'e seen on a vid, is they have either a special spray that blocks like 99% of any harmful rays, (of course sprayed after the card is suited up/protected- magnetic holder etc...) or they have special display cases where the glass has this protective quality. other wise you have to keep your auto's in the dark for most of the time or you will be sorry. Thats what i can share, hope it helps anyone out there..

They don't make binder sleeves for top loaders. What I do is put the card inside a penny sleeve and then sleeve the card into the 9 pocket binder sleeve. It will add a bit more protection. For her valuable top loaded cards, you may need to get some high quality clear tape and tape the top loader shut completely across so it is less noticeable. Then get team bags and put them in those and tape the bag. Hopefully her picking away at the tape will give you enough time to catch her and stop her from taking out the card. Cheers and happy collecting.

[@andrewadams7371]

Call me OCD, but I generally prefer resealable one-touch bags folded tightly and sealed over top loaders as opposed to using a strip of painter’s tape at the top. To me, I don’t like the risk from the unlikely scenario that a card might come loose and stick to some kind of adhesive on the way out. Also the tape gummies up the exterior of the top loader unnecessarily. Secondarily, I’ve never understood why card savers are the preferred method for grading companies? Anyone? To me they look antiquated (like from my childhood 1980s collecting days) and they are less rigid than top loaders, in theory allowing for bending. Otherwise great video and great advice. Thanks!
