This is super helpful and presentation is really everything when you are selling. When I was setting up at comic shows, I always made sure everything was alphabetically organized and had a few black table cloths to make everything look just a little bit better. I ended up selling so much more with a few little tweaks.

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Details like that set you apart from the others 👍

[@joannel8854]

Wow was just looking for a video regarding preferred cases for cards and got a wealth of information. Genius making lip on penny sleeve. You are right about the mag sleeves too. We DO NOT feel comfortable putting card in without penny sleeve. THANK YOU!!! Very useful info!

[@TheGreatCurator.]

I'm glad you found it helpful 👍

Haha… the Ballad of the Great Curator. The newest Western in 2021! Can’t wait

[@TheGreatCurator.]

I think it's awesome lol

[@michaelgolden4938]

oh hell yes

[@norcalemperor]

I got 2 of those Zion cases and ONE apache case from harbor freight. with the pluck & pull foam, spray it down with a couple layers of plasti-dip after you pulled out the foam and it’ll hold nicer and last longer. that way it doesn’t deteriorate over time. great video, just ordered the loupe.

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Great tip! But how come I've never seen any of these cases? Haha

[@norcalemperor]

@@TheGreatCurator. and you prolly never will! hands free baby!

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Thank you sir!

[@appfreezecards7755]

Great information. I used the pro-molds. I like the first generation or the second generation that allow for penny sleeves. These magnetics are made with very clear acrylic and I personally think they are clearer that the ultra pro versions. I definitely second the vote for the superior fit company. My best advice is to stock up when you order them to save on shipping. Definitely like the lip idea for penny sleeves. But I bought a case of ultra pro sleeves so I'm probably set for life for a huge discount. I just snip the corners of my sleeves for my nicer cards to make it safer to load the card. That's my best advice on penny sleeves is buy in bulk, it never hurts to have your supplies on hand. This hobby is designed to be for life so buy good quality and in bulk it will save you in the long run in time and convenience. Thanks for all the information.

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Bulk strategy is a great idea!

I like to cut one corner of a penny sleeve it makes it easy to put the card in without bumping a corner.

[@angelcolon8755]

Look at cards in mag holders/ top loaders or take them out and hold in hand to view with magnifying glass

[@TheGreatCurator.]

In hand but in a Penny sleeve if possible unless checking surface

[@sammolter9448]

Great video I stocked up on supplies in 2020 and glad i did. One thing about the ultra pro one touches is the card slips out and in to the crack of the one touch and its damaged some of my cards I put a penny sleeve in beteen card and holder....Ive always wondered if they have them that has room for penny sleeve..The normal one touches are not good for your cards so i choose to keep high end cards in top loaders.

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Yeah Penny sleeves are a must

[@AndrewMarhefka]

Nice case. I’m going to grab one. Thanks!

The great debate….toploader vs mag holder. I thought mags was better initially, but the benefit is marginal…..thicker cards, foil cards only.. use bigger toploaders…..oversized 3 1/2 x 5.

[@TheGreatCurator.]

I just like the look of mags

[@stevenmalgieri2246]

Ty for the video. I'm rather new to the hobby but do have a good amount of cards though. My question is I have some rather high end cards but they're not graded. They're in mag holders. What case do you recommend for raw cards in magnetic holders?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Use pro mold mag holders cause they fit Penny sleeves and use slabmag with the adaptor for mag holders. Collect3d on IG sells them

I was looking at the Zion case. I saw the slab t which fits mags & graded cards. But does it fit an SGC slab?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Yes it does

[@CoolinErrDay]

How well does that Zion case do at holding ungraded cards in top loaders or pro mold cases?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

Holds pro mold no problems. They make a special case for top loaders but it also fits in the bigger cases made for slabs just fine

[@chrisolivo6591]

Another great video and very informative! I wanted to get your opinion on modern rookies like Zion, Ja, Herbert, etc. These are for my PC as I’m not looking to flip in the future. Should I go with PSA10 or PSA9? Obviously I can buy more rookies at the PSA9 level and diversify more. Or just be more selective and go with PSA10?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

For me the play is to put my money into the highest end card I can. Better to have 1 card over 10. It's riskier but I've found that the level of appreciation is greater and more stable then lower end cards that can transacts more because of higher pop counts.

[@chrisolivo6591]

@@TheGreatCurator. I’m leaning towards your line of thinking. Just bought a Juan Soto rookie PSA 10 last week and I love seeing that GemMint in my collection now. Less is more sometimes. Thanks for the response!

For those table display cases- how long was your experience with the backorder before the shipped to you?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

3 months

[@mrseverok]

What about cases for home, like a showcase type? The ones that you can mount on the wall? Maybe with some shelving inside? Any suggestions?

[@TheGreatCurator.]

I don't use that but I would suggestion the Amazon cases for graded cards it can mount to the wall.

[@Rob.Ricafort]

Great recommendations thank you! Can I ask, at shows do you display prices of cards in your showcase?

Yes always price your cards
