I would be interested. My biggest collecting wish is that Ultra Pro made One Touches for 1952-1956 Topps and manufactured inserts for Play Ball, Goudeys, and 48-51 Bowman and I'm sure I'm not the only one. An insert for smaller issues that fit One Touch cases would probably be quite popular.

I am with you Steve...

Gotta believe there's a good market for collectors wanting customized cutouts from Ultra Pro for the following sets...

33 - 35 Goudey
1948 - 52 Bowman
1952 - 56 Topps

The black Tobacco Card Inserts you sent me work great, and really highlight the cards beautifully. Just wish they'd expand these to include some of the more popular vintage sets!

I'd love to see them for Goudeys as well. More to come on this!

Everyone has some great ideas. Depending on what your trying to do with your cards will then decide the best option. Someone mentioned wanting a smaller footprint. I understand that completely but it's not an option for me because 80 percent of my T206's are graded and I'm not a "binder" collector even though they look great. My problem is I really don't want to spend $6000 to grade my raw T206's. And if I did, I'd want to cross over all my SGC's to PSA and then I'm looking at $10k+. So $6000 to $16,000 for basically eye appeal, since I'm holding onto them for personal enjoyment, seems like a lot of money. So the pictures Brent and Ben showed are great but I'd want something kinda in the middle. The same size as a PSA but with the glossy black background. I've actually had a few T206 ebay purchases of raw cards come in a top loader with a SGC insert. It had me thinking when I saw it. I might fool around with my laser cutter when my health is back on track, and maybe come up with a few holder ideas.

I know they are clear, but if toploader storage is the concern, BCW already makes sleeves to prevent float in standard toploaders or binders. These have been out for several years.

Here is what the clear inserts look like in 9 pocket pages. I would be interested in something like this with a black border for standard top loaders or pages.
