    Toploader quesetion.

    Anyone got any tricks for 'loosening up' toploaders ? I just bought a pack from wal-mart and they're so tight (insert joke here) that I can't get a card in them.

    Well no offense or anything but your first mistake was trusting Wal-Mart had quality hobby goods lol

    They might just need to be broken in, Try sticking your bank card in a plastic sleeve and use that to maybe widen the tight top loaders opening.

    Bank card idea sounds good. They're just so effin' tight. Can't put a card in without worrying about bending the card.

    Well man if that bank card idea doesn't work, maybe just take them back and get your money back. Then try getting some from your local card dealer.

    I have heard this issue before, seems to happens with the new brand wal mart carries. Dont really think you can do much to loosen them up though.

    A shop locally that will have a larger side so you can get the card in without damaging them. Not sure if there one in your area as some have that problem of not having that luxury.

    I have tons laying around, if you dont have a local card store, take those back to wal-mart and I'll sell you some ultra-pro for $.10 ea. I used to put all my cards in toploaders, then I just put them in binder sleeves and I have a few hundred laying around.

    LMK,
