If you like everything to be nice, clean, and consistent then the premium is the way to go. But $80 more IMO is too much for that, but some peoples OCD gets the best of them Wink

Yes, OCD is horrible. Smile I have had people send sleeves where the cards had a half inch on one side of extra room, and it bothered the crap out of me. Then I've had some where there was a half inch or more extra room on the top of the card, and I can't stand that either. Smile I prefer them to be snug, but at the same time, I highly doubt I'll be able to get any of the GU or thicker parallels into the premium sleeves. What's the thickest you've seen fit into a Premium sleeve?

Yeah, the thicker feeling is more what I was going for than anything, but you (and crimedawg) saying they fit more snug makes me think I won't be able to fit GU in there. And my OCD doesn't want more than one kind of card sleeve being used for my PC (Organize, organize, organize, lol).

I prefer binders for my collections, but there are a few cards I'd love to display out in singles. What's sort of the best practice? Penny sleeve inside a semi-solid toploader then inside a team bag? Or just a nice screw down? What about these magnetic or snap together deals? So many choices!

Oh, and on my binder deals, one card per pocket? I use them a lot for sorting, so I end up putting my duplicates all in one pocket. I'm sure this is just a preference thing, but experience/advice helps in this sort of thing.

As far as the pages go, depending on the cards I recommend no more than two cards per slot, ONLY if you have to. I say that because when I was younger I used to put a card facing one way and a card facing another, and some times I'd have mu dupes in there so there might be 4+ cards per slot. Sadly, some got stuck to each other and even to the page itself. Also, the more you have in there, the more likely you are to ruin the edge of the cards when taking them out of the page.

As for displaying singles, depending on the card, you have many choices. For high end cards, I always recommend one touch. For lower end cards, screw downs are OK, but I'd rather the card be in a sleeve and then a clean new top loader. Doesn't necessarily have to be in a team bag, but that's a matter of preference.
