    One Touch Questions

    I got a box of 100pt for my b-day. I have been going through my cards and trying to find the right ones that fit. I have found some to be slightly loose, just enough to hear the card move. Some have fit snug, with the top of the case just resting on the card, and no movement. Which is the best? Slightly loose or snug? Also, is it best to put sleeves over the top of the card, especially autographs, so the card doesn't get damaged? Thank you for your help

    I always put penny sleeves on the card before placing in the top loader

    I personally would not think it would hurt the surface. I would be more concerned with the corners.

    I know a lot of corners get damaged when they get shipped if they are loose. If you're not shipping it might not matter as much. But if they get moved around a lot they still might get damaged. I would think snug but not too snug would be the best.

    Probably depends on the surface of the card and if it is a autograph or not. You don't really want a snug fit with a card that has a surface that can stick and then later peel.

    Never ship in one touch as the surface gets scratched up.
    Especially chrome cards in one touch is a big No-no, unless you don’t care about grading

    one touch is only good for displaying, but I prefer encased for preserving the card

    but placing a penny sleeve over the auto is recommended as it will prevent any surface damage
