Question about one touch

kobefan1

Hello, I would like to know what everyone take on them? Good to use not so much. Thanks for any info.

I use them a lot. Great protection and cards display really well in them.

I think those One Touch Magnetics are great for displays and or posting cards here on the forum, but those magnetics can get expensive for all of the cards that you would like to put in em.

I have every single one of my +3,000 non graded Longoria cards in One Touches. Agreed on they can get expensive. Many instances for me, the case is more valuable than the card. Personally, I like the way they look, display, and protect them.

I have actually never used a one touch, are they actually safe for the cards that go into them? They seem to have a good reputation so I am guessing they are nothing like the ol screw downs.

Cards can move ever so slightly in them, for shipping purposes I request penny sleeves and top loaders over one touches all day long. For cards sitting in your personal collection and not in transit they look much better though.

Good to know. Thanks!

never kept a card in one. never bought one. zero interest due to the combined weight and space they take up. did sell a gigantic box of used ones that cards have came in for almost $1000 during the pandemic. was shocked.

Local Target had them a few weeks ago as I was strolling through that section. Pricing was 5 for 10$, needless to say I bought all 10 packs they had.

I really like them, but due to the price, I use them sparingly. Primarily for vintage in exceptional condition (the cards I used to send to PSA for $8-12 each). Now I "slab" them in magnetics for display, In my opinion, probably the closest thing to a graded holder in terms of protection and display quality.

They come in about 8-10 different thicknesses. Make sure you get the right o e for your card.

FYI...there are also magnetic brands that include a penny sleeve for added protection and stability for the card. Here is an example, for a 75 pt. thickness card. Lots of options out there.

i find them to offer the same type of protection a slab offers.

Yes, I think they are awesome with the arrowhead corners. Really great for long term protection for valuable cards. Especially since grading cards may be a thing of the past for some of us with ungraded $50-$100 type cards. The picture of the 1950 Bowman Football card is not how they are to be used. That can cause serious damage.

not only expensive, but the amount of space they take up is crazy. all my on deck cards to grade are prepped in card savers and penny sleeves. only a select few of my cards are in magnetics.
