    I've been looking for a thorough comparison for a while. Thank you for such a great video. I was debating on buying more one touch cases for my best baseball cards but they take up so much more space and they are a lot more expensive. I think I'll stick with the top loaders for 90% of my collection and put only Topps chrome cards in the one touch cases.

      Thank you so much for your kind words. Appreciate it lots. Yeah, I agree with you, at one point I switched to One Touch cases but not only is it bulky in size, I also get paranoid that the magnetic mechanism might accidentally clip my cards. I find that toploaders are generally more than enough protection.

      So your opinion the magnetic are not worth it?

      @@allenblackmer9583 I think for most cards, it might not be worth unless you want really really good protection. I think the amount of protection you get from toploaders should be sufficient. Perhaps super expensive cards may justify the One Touch Magnetic case but it also comes with a risk of putting/getting your cards out (could damage it during the process). This is just my opinion.

    I would love to see a perfect fit top loader that you can pair with a perfect sleeved card. I dislike the amount of play and gap on the sides of a top loader

    Great video! I do have a question though. The Ultra Pro top loaders I am looking at say they have pvc plastic. Is that going to be an issue long term if I single sleeve a card like you did in the video before putting it in the top loader?

      Thanks for checking out the video! I don’t think it will under normal storage conditions. What I mean is if you store your cards away from sunlight and hopefully in a space that doesn’t have high moisture then I think your cards will be fine. I’ve read posts about people storing their sports cards for 20+ years and still getting a high grade after grading. I believe the more concerning thing would be if your card protection contains acid. I usually don’t worry about it that much especially if the brand is Ultra Pro. Hopefully that helps!

    • @TCGCollector

      I should also add obviously away from heat since that could increase the plastic’s degradation rate but normal room conditions should be just fine!

    Imo Mini snaps from Japan are most pleasing, one touches are unaesthetic with the excess plastic and magnet on top. Toploaders best budget tho

      @@TCGCollector the one toucher are better tho. mini snaps are a bit flimsy. But they do protect the card well enough and are aesthetic imo. I just order 50 pieces from temu for 25 euros. So they are cheaper than one touches but not as cheap as toploaders

      Sorry, I’m not sure of the exact size and dimensions for onepiece. I think they are the same size as Pokemon but I could be wrong. Maybe just make sure the size of the sleeve you are buying will fit the card.

    Great video! Is it okay to use a team bag for your toploader or do I risk getting moist in my cards when I do this?

    • @TCGCollector
      @TCGCollector  Місяць тому

      Thanks! Appreciate you for checking out the video! I think it's fine to team bag your cards and I actually do that myself. I think the team bag doesn't create such a tight seal that water would be trapped inside so I think you should be fine!

    Are magnetic cases best for Yu-Gi-Oh cards, too? Them being smaller cards makes me wonder

    • @TCGCollector
      @TCGCollector  17 днів тому +1

      They should work for YuGiOh as well but they might be a smaller sized magnetic case since the cards are smaller. I think as long as your have an inner sleeve, the cases should work fine too!

      That's true if you aren't using an inner sleeve when using the OneTouch. I have a video on how to "properly" use a OneTouch if you're interested. Thanks for checking out the video!
