Tape and Toploaders

[ChicagoCubs04]

Well thats it, if i reused them for trades i dont want the person getting the idea that my stuff isnt looked after or clean ect. it just looks bad.... I dont want to use any liquids that would possibly get in the toploader and damage the cards either...

Believe it or not theres no card shops where i live that sell toploaders, theres no sellers on ebay.com.au that sell toploaders, and theres none that i have coem across on ebay.com that sell toplaoders to international bidders! The world is against me :D

ummm take the card out before you put on the nail polish remover

Im aware of that, but im talking about if any liquid gets inside the toploader and i put the card back in (in plastic pocket) and it damages the card.

I think if one is meticulous enough, liquid can be detected through a careful examination of the top loader. Use good lighting when cleaning it, and when you're done, just check closely to see if any residue is left. If so, keep drying it until it's unequivocally dry and clean.

This should work 99% of the time. Nothing is so preventable that mistakes can be avoided 100% of the time, but that's life.

And for what it's worth, I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so I know a thing or two about being conscientious. :D

well start a poll asking everybody if they mind getting taped up toploaders. 95% of the people i trade with send the cards like this it doesn't deter me from trading with them, plus if the cards are for me i just change them out and put them in clean top loaders. also i think you can buy top loaders from d&a card world or just use a search engine and type in card collecting supplies there has got to be some where on the net that sells them. if not send me some money and i will buy you some and ship them to you ok lmk

a tiny dab of peanut butter, wiped with a clean towel is the best goo remover!!!!

That's how my mom used to remove bubble gum from my hair...

When I send a single card in a toploader I'll just stick a common in with it to make it thick enough to not slide out. As somebody said further back, just use those cases to ship cards back out if it bothers you that much.

Meuandthelot & Jammin, you guys trying to make me look funny and use that Simpsons method? lol

J Smeltz, Thanks for your reply, ill have a look on Dacardworld

Im not too fussed about it, but I can see some people not exactly being a fan of receiving toploaders that arent in pristine condition..

Poll sounds like a good idea

[meuandthelot]

I'm serious..Use a tiny dab, rub it onto the residue until it starts to breakdown....give it a try you'll see(I guarantee you'll post back going...holy cow it works awesome)

[Gooner_Singe]
