Question about older cards and top loaders

Question for any of you that like to keep you raw cards in top loaders. For the older Topps and Bowman cards (52-56), do you put them in a penny sleeve and then in a regular top loader or do you need to use one of the top loaders they make for thicker cards? Since they feel thicker, I don't really want to try cramming one into a regular top loader if it could mess up the card and the opinion seems to be not to store cards long term in the card saver 1 holders. Any advice is appreciated. Thank-you,

Jim

    If not the pages for 52-56 sized cards, I use CS1s (Card Saver 1) with no penny sleeve. I dont put my larger vintage in semirigids.

    They make specific top loaders for vintage cards - they're a bit taller than the regular ones

    For my 1952 - 1956, I use just top loaders. For 1957 on up, I use penny sleeves then top loaders.

    I use the ultra pro extra thick penny sleaves and a CS1 for my oversized cards.

    same as above, no penny sleaves for the 1952-56, penny sleeves for everything else

    They make penny sleeves specifically for large vintage and they fit perfectly in the vintage top leaders. That is what I use.

    Where do you get those at. I have been geeting my storage items from Columbia and I did not notice a specific vintage penny sleeve or vintage top loaded called out.
    I do appreciate everyones advice on this. I do have my personal sets in plastic pages but trying to decide what to do with my duplicates. Currently they are just sitting in a card storage box with no other protection. I thougt i better do something about that. And for those that put their post 56 in penny sleeves but not the larger cards why do you think it is necessary for the newer cards but not the older. Is it to help the newer thin cards not slide out or is it just the fact with the extra thickness of the penny sleeves the older cards would not fit into the regular top loaders? Thank-you for your help,
