ASAP advice

I'm putting cards into card savers to submit to PSA. I'm finding this process really tough and a high risk to damaging cards. Any tips to safely get them in there? The sleeve is so tight that it's tough pushing the card down into it. Thanks!

    What size are you using?

    Also, I find it best to stick my fingers into the card saver first and loosen it up before putting the card in.

    I'm sitting in my office and actually laughed out loud when I read this even though nobody is here to hear it. I'm not the only one with a dirty mind; just the first to reply to this.

    Hilarious!

    But seriously, use a penny sleeve first. Take a knife and cut the side of the penny sleeve open then drop into cardsaver. Shouldn't have any problems.

    I only use self-lubricating sleeves.

    I won't say your minds are in the gutter. Truth is you need a stepladder to reach the gutter.
