I found this awesome info piece for figuring out how thick a card is and what size toploader or one-touch/screwdown to get for it.

I printed off a sheet (4 gauges) and then cut one out. I taped it to a blank insert card. Now I can measure any card I pull and know the point size. I thought some of you guys would like to use this resource.
You hold a card edge-on to the marks and it shows you the thickness/point size.
I have this printed out, too. Never thought to post a link for everyone. Good looking out.
I never saw this guide before last night. Since I usually have a wide range of toploaders and hard cases on-hand, I would just see what I thought was thick enough to fit the card I was shipping out or sealing up. The gauge will certainly speed up that process, especially since I think I'll need to order more storage/shipping supplies some time in the near future.
I don't know about you guys but I have been using a lot of the 55pt but for whatever reason they are hard for me to get locally. I always have to get them online. Just seems like a lot of the inserts are thicker than the 35pt but not as think the memorabilia cards.
