Moving all cards from Card Saver II's to Card Saver I's

For more breathing room, and less damage to corners. The extra room is amazing! I was putting is some nice minty 59 Topps BB and was really astounded at the difference. Now what to do with the 2,000 left over Card Saver I's?

I was inspired by some earlier board posts regarding Card Saver II's damaging cards. Some advised against Card Saver I's as well, but I prefer semi rigid over top loaders.

I agree - I like the added room too since I've seen what can happen to corners that get squished - they can stay square but get soft. I also like them in penny sleeves as well to avoid damaging them getting in or out of the CS holder.

I'm just the opposite. I would much rather have my cards in top loaders. I find the CS to be cumbersome to flip through and the edges are a too rough to fit comfortably in my smallish hands (picture the Burger King commercial with the small-hands people.

). Plus with a 10 month old and a 3 year old running around the house my cards stand a fighting chance at survival if they get ahold of them and they are in top loaders.

Why card savers over the other brands? Is there a difference?

Agree, card saver 1's are much better.

CS Is and vault boxes....the only way to go.

What about top loaders and penny sleeves?

For years, I used top loaders and shoe boxes. I started using CS Is when I started subbing cards to PSA.

I guess I still use top loaders sometimes for cards that I know I'll never submit for grading.

Sorry to all the PMers, I found a use for the II's after all, my 75 Topps Minis. They are perfect for them. Plus, I forgot to mention that I'm only about 1/5 of the way through with the conversion, and at my rate, you'd be waiting on them for a long time.

On a related note, I will give a plug to columbiasportscard who has what I think is the best deal on a case of Card Saver I's on ebay. Lighting quick ship too. Came out to just under $11 per 200 ct. box.
