Topps Diamond Die-Cuts..To Peel or Not to Peel??
What's everyone doing with their Diamond Die-Cuts?? Are the majority peeling off the protective layer or keeping it on??
Mine came with the protective layers all bubbling and looking awful...

Because mine's just for me, and not for trade or for sale, I took the protective layer off of it and immediately stuck it in a hard magnet case because you're right: that bubbling of the protective layer looks kind of bad. I imagine that if you're trying to sell/trade you might want to leave it on, but if it's for your PC, do with it as you like.

What kind of magnet case did you use? I tried to put mine in a magnet put they wouldnt fit because of the weird die cut..they were too tight in the magnets...

You should see the cards, you might change your mind. They look horrible with it on

if it is just for you do whatever makes you happy - as long as you know that it really hurts the value and still are ok with it -cool
