Best top loaders for storing long term?

Spartcom5

Hey guys quick question. Are ultra pro toploaders safe for long term storage? I know they aren't acid free but as long as the card is in a penny sleeve they should be good right? Just want to make sure before I start buying large quantities!

Also, I like the one touch cases as well as they display my nicer cards. However, if the card is a little too small and moves around when you shake it, is it bad for the edges of the card?

I've never been afraid to put a card in a one touch or psa case that can move a little bit. I don't really think they'll get damaged by what little movement is caused by picking them up and looking at them or taking them in/out of a box. It's not like you're using it as a baby rattle and shaking them uncontrollably.

Regular card- top loader
Thicker card- one touch

The one touches are good unless you accidentally drop it. I accidentally dropped a card and With the wiggle room you are talking about, it damaged the card pretty bad. However with a thicker card, one touches seem to be easier on the corners than a top loader.

This is just my opinion based off past experiences.

I use card savers for my non-graded cards. For standard sized cards, i use card saver I and for tall boy cards, card saver IV. Not a fan of top loaders.

Agreed. I am passionate for my hatred of top loaders!!

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at some card savers. Honestly never really liked the look of them with the big top lip but if they're better in terms of preserving cards I'm all for it! Do you guys use penny sleeves as well with them?

No need for penny sleeves. The look of the cards is much cleaner without them.

I was like that for awhile. Then I started seeing how much better Card Savers could make cards I have little to no interest in grading look, compared to my old top loaders w/ penny sleeve look:
