Card Thickness best practices
Does anyone have a reference on the appropriate protective cases to buy based on the thickness of a card? So, for regular cards you would use 35 point cases, etc. I'm very curious about the best size for Bowman Chrome cards.
Thanks for any advice,
Law

I just use standard top loaders for chrome same as I would a regular topps or bowman base and I've never had an issue.

I have used this as a refference for card sizes:
1 Regular Card = 20 Point - Use All Standard or Regular Card Holders
3 Regular Cards = 55 Point - Use 55 Point Holders (Also called Action Packed Size or Thick)
4-5 Regular Cards = 70-75 Point - Use 75 Point Holders or Extra Thick Holders
6-8 Regular Cards = 120-130 Point - Use 130 Point Holders (Commonly called Memorabilia Size or Real Thick or 3.5 mm)
9-12 Regular Cards = 180 Point - Use 180 Point Holders (Also called Super Thick)
Collecting: Auto's, G/U Jsy/Bat, Refractors, etc.., Harper, Trout, Jeter, Mantle, Rivera, Pujols,Ripken, Griffey Jr, Heyward, Cal Ripken Jr., Posey,
Other Auto's, GU cards will be considered
