Ok so I have 2 CASES now coming from Tom (so much for only 4 boxes  Roll Eyes) and Im just wondering how you guys store your rare cards like costumes, props autos etc? Is it safe to put them in plastic penny sleeves then screwdowns or does it damage the card? Just curious as these two cases are costing me $1500+ (AU) and I want to keep everything good.  Tongue
Roughly what size cases are the latest prop and costume and auto cards fitting into? Anyone have an idea? Cheers for any help.  Grin

I don't have any cases yet and so can't advise on this.

One thing I can do is tell you NEVER to put anything in a penny sleeve and then into a screwdown.. please just DON'T!

Because it's designed only to take the card itself. Add a penny sleeve and then force it down with a screw onto your card and everything is pressing together when it shouldn't!

Cards come to a sticky end this way, and these cards are too expensive to make mistakes with

Yes, I keep my 3 creature cards in a 4 pocket page... but it's all askew... This set is awesome but when it comes to presenting a nice binder full of cards I'm going to be like this...  Hopping Mad sorting it out.

Whilst the guys back at Artbox are like this  ROFL!

I keep all my cards in the binders in nine page sleeves.  Like Roz I keep the 'thickies' in 4 page sheets.  But for this set I want to get some type of foam page to go between the sheets.  I think the thicker cards may press into the pages infront/behind and mark the cards.

So if anyone knows of any foam pages ............

I have my POA cards in the nine pocket binder. But I want to see what cards I get before doing this with SS as some of them are rather thick.

For the time being I am storing my Fluffy Fur ans Devil's Snare in the yellow envelope that the Case Topper comes in.
Someone has got to start making a thick Brick Screw Down card for these....Don't you think.....Listen Up out there you manufacturers....Thick cards are here to stay.
