Whats better top loaders or card savers?
Card savers hold the card more securely. Without tape, there's a chance that a card in a top loader can be either partially or fully ejected during shipping. Secondly, cards in card savers are easier to remove, especially if the submitter has included the pull tab adhesive on the back of the card.What does PSA do with all the card savers?
They cut along the side of the card saver not the top. Cutting along the entire side with the top already having an opening allows them to easily remove the card. This is to prevent potential damage from the handler.What card sleeve does PSA recommend?
