Oh I know, it's totally a "me" problem, but it has nothing to do with undersized cards, it has to do with thickness or lack thereof on standard issue 1957 and later cards. The issue for me is why does a 1962 Topps card not move in the slab, but a 1970 or '75 Topps card does? Both measure 2.5 x 3.5; the size is not the issue - the rails inside the slab are the exact same size. I do know what you are talking about with the mylar bags on other types of cards; seems these are mostly used with certain prewar issues.
I'm not expecting this to change anytime soon. For those that really bother me, I'll continue to bust the slabs. Weird that I don't mind mid-to-lower grade cards, but I'm so picky on how they work with the slabs...I know, I know.
