Was looking at the magnetic card holders on Ebay since the hobby shops in my area don't carry them. I've been using the BCW screw-in holders for my autos for about a year and a half now and I heard the magnetic holders are better. Is there a preference as to which card holder is better?

I think some people say that the screw holders had issues damaging cards at times, but I could be wrong. I use magnetic holders just for ease of use.

Just make sure to get the right one for the thickness of your card and use a premium penny sleeve as well. You would not want the card to stick to the holder!!

magnetic holders are the better ones to use, the screw down can damage cards edges/surface sticking issue over time. I use neither of them as I just use the regular top loaders.

Penny sleeve in a mag holder? Doesn't that leave too much room for it to move around?

I was thinking the same thing about the penny sleeve. I don't think I've seen any cards with sleeves inside a card holder like that. But so far, I haven't had any sticking/damage issues with the screw holders since I've been pretty good with getting the right type of pt. holders for my cards.

I've been using BCW screw downs my whole life and I have never had a problem. I recently pulled cards I had in the screw downs for over a decade and I had zero sticking or damage. As long as you store them in a average temperature and use the correct thickness holder, they should be fine. If you have any resistance at all when closing the case, you are using the wrong thickness and should go up a thickness. Also, make sure you get the holders with the corners cut out so your cards corners don't get dinged.

I use these….




Opening some cards that have been in em for a little over 5 years and no problems…

Then I use a graded bag over them to protect the mage itself as well as to prevent it from opening and helps to prevent some moisture from getting in.




this is just my preference

Yeah, I was looking at those on Ebay since they got a few lots on there. But I do make sure that I have the right thickness based on my cards. Majority of my autos use anywhere from 80 pt. to 120pt. holders. But I recently got a Topps Five Star jersey auto and sucker is thick! So now, I'm back on Ebay.
