Recommend brand card savers?

[rms13]

I’ve been using card savers for my PC raw cards. I just bought some BCW semi rigid #1 from Amazon and they seem very flimsy. I bought some from CSG when I was sending in cards to grade and those seem much thicker and less bendy but they charge an obscene amount for shipping so it’s not worth buying more from them so just wondering what other brands would be sturdier for long term storage

I don't think they are any less flimsy if that is your issue, but the original brand name "Card Savers" by Cardboard Gold are better. My problem with BCW for standard size cards, is that the one time I ordered card savers from them they seem to be too short - in that the lip of the card saver barely covers the top of the card when you put it in properly. For the rigidity issue, go with toploaders. Yes the penny sleeves are a bit of a pain in the @, but I think they are sturdier.

These are good (says out of stock, you'll have to check back)

When I couldn't get those ~1yr ago, I bought some of these. Quality was very similar to the Card Saver I. Not quite as rigid.

^ his price has come down a lot from when I bought. I ordered in March 2021 probably near the height of shortages, so that's likely why. People who still had Card Saver I boxes were selling them for insane prices on ebay.

I just compared again...the 'subloader' above is slightly more bendable than a Card Saver I. Main difference I can see is where the two layers are bonded together at the edge. The Card Saver I "seam" looks a bit wider and almost slightly rolled. It's not much, but it adds some rigidity. It's possible the plastic itself is thicker on the Card Saver I.

If you're storing cards, go with the Card Saver I for slightly more cost. If you're submitting cards to PSA, etc. and they're basically throw-away holders, go with the less expensive option.

UltraPro is a good brand and their card savers are decent and they’re in stock too
