Anything wrong with screwdown holders??

wfubob

I believe most I've heard from say that they store cards either in penny sleeve/top loader, binders with top load pages, or CS Is/IIs (my preference, in pennys). What is the case against screw downs, if any? Is it the pressure against the cards? I have a few that have indentions the size of the '57+ cards, and I can see the obvious flaw with that one (if card isn't perfectly placed in the indention). But what about the flat ones?

Thanks,
Bob

The flat ones have an inherent problem also. If one were to put more pressure on one screw vs the others? The card could get crushed on that corner.

I remember years ago - Strike Zone - aka Broadway Rick sent me a Robinson card that appeared crushed. The screwdown had their "seal" on it - so I sent it back. They sent it back to me out of the holder and you could definitely see one corner was crushed. I sent it back again. Rick calls me on a Sat. nite chewing on me. At first I was shocked and didn't say much. I immediately called him back and told him he couldn't talk to me that way. He apologized and told me that he was under a lot of stress. I politely told him that was "his" problem and not only didn't I want the card but wouldn't be doing business with him again.
