Does anyone know where I would be to pick up some Toploaders?

Im after the 3" x 4" size but thicker ones. The ones I have can fit 2 cards. Where can I get the same size but thicker?

In this country you will struggle  Undecided  Your best bet is to wait until there is a show near you and if the wind is in the right direction you may find some  Wink.  Honestly finding card supplies in the UK is like finding water in the desert  Hopping Mad

Thanks Sharon  Grin

My luck though there isn't many shows near me, I got a whole load from the USA when I get all my Superman cards but have used them and clearing out some of my collection and need thicker ones to send cards out, Theres sites in the UK which seller bigger sizes but not thicker.

I priced up getting some card supplies sent over from the US for me and Roz but the postage was horrendous.  There really is a massive gap in the market that I wish someone would fill.  I know some traders do a few supplies but it is really hit and miss.

Unfortunately the problem with buying from America is the shipping costs and the import duty.  As an example I placed a preliminary order with a US firm for goods to the value of around about $130.  They worked out the shipping on this and it came to I think about $180 ie total of $310.  Add to that import duty (which I have noticed now includes the postal charge) and it just wasn't worth proceeding with the order.

I am so jealous when I look at sites like the one you suggested, you can get such wonderful things for your cards  Smiley
