Card Savers

I am a big Card Savers guy.. Cards are already in card savers for when I send them to get graded. My question though, since I use shoeboxes to store my cards, how safe are gum bands for cards in card savers?

Thanks

    Pittsburgh guy? Other parts of the country call them rubber bands or elastics.

    Card savers are too flimsy in my opinion for rubber bands unless they are barely holding things together. Top loaders would be better since they have more stability if rubber bands are going to be used.

    I don't know who that is, but that made me crack up! The smiles in the first guy and the third guy.... Lol!

    I say rubber bands. I have also heard rubber binders.

    I've never had a problem placing a rubber band around a stack of card savers. I do that when I sent cards out for grading. However, I do recommend placing a piece of cardboard on the front and the back of the stack. That will guarantee protection.

    Not exactly what you seek but:

    While not advertised as such they hold Card Saver 1's very nicely. Also the Card Savers can be thumbed through pretty well.
