Thanks all for the responses here. I just pulled the trigger on a 5-pack of one screw Pro Mold's for the 1952-56 Topps size. They should be here next week at the latest. Will let you know what I think. I like the idea of the UV protection - not that I display my cards much anymore, but I have seen some nice cards ruined before after years of sitting in display cases under bright fluorescent lights. Ugh.

Got my Pro-mold case for my Old Judge. I love it. Has good heft and makes the card feel like a museum piece. Sorry the photo is out of focus.

Is that Pro-mold recessed? I can't quite tell.

Haven't used them before, but you are probably right.

Just took a look at the thread again.

Yes, all the promold one screws are recessed with open corners to avoid dings. The ultrapros are also.

Like Justin stated. If you watch the link run through, you'll see that it shows a variety of cards in different cases/holders, but they are all recessed.

Alright, I have reread this thread a couple of times and looked at the pro-mold site. Is there an advantage between the magnetic and the one screw holder? Also, if I were buying pro-molds for '65 Topps baseball, which thickness do I pick for the one screw holders? Would that be a 20 point thickness?

Edited to add: I found the answer to my question. The 20 point is considered a "regular" card. So, back to my original question: one screw or magnetic?

Well, kind of up to you. Magnetics are easier for getting cards in and out of, because you don't need a Phillips head handy. But that means if you drop it, it will probably pop out.

I hadn't thought of that....would probably opt for the one screw.

That, and I also read, but don't know if it's true, the magnets, over time, will produce some type of dirt/sediment, and of course nobody wants that on their cards.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of your 52's in those holders, John, if you don't mind posting them up?

I don't have 52's to put in them at the moment, but do have some 55's and 56's. Mine just came in today, and I've already put the '55 Jackie Robinson that led me to start this thread in one. Very pleased. They are basically like a graded card case with the recessed area, and the diamond-tip cutouts for the corners, but then close with a screw obviously instead of a hermetic seal.

I will post some pics tonight once I get a few more cards in the other ones I bought, but yes - for $2 or so a pop this will be my new go-to case for ungraded going forward.

Thanks again all for the advice!
