@ben I'm hoping we can, too. I went through this exercise years ago and couldn't get them below ~$.30 per holder even at a quantity of about 10k. But I've got some better folks to work with now.

I would be happy at $.30 each, even my cheap T cards are worth enough to justify that price point.

A few years ago I had a bunch of these printed for my set. They are on card stock. If anyone is interested, contact me. I think I still have a few hundred left over.

You must have been my secret Santa a few years ago. I still have one of those.

I'd take some. Those are fantastic! I like ungraded cards, and those really show off the card extremely well.

I had to free a T210 from a SGC prison today so I cut it into exactly what I would like.

My ugly hand printed label is 1/2" X 1 3/4". Avery makes several labels this size so you could make a nice one on your computer and print them out.

Showed up in the mail today. Couldn't wait to get my cards in them. I really like them. It gives them that topps 206 buyback look. Thanks!

Those look great! How thick is the toploader you used? and the t205 almost matches perfect.

I just used standard top loaders. I first put them in a penny sheet to make them extra snug.

Chris sent me one of his inserts. The insert on the left is one I cut down from a SGC insert. The one on the right is the one Chris sent me.

The quality of the cuts on the insert Chris sent me is better than the SGC insert. Who hasn't had one of SGCs horribly cut inserts not screw up a high end card? The thickness of the insert is perfect to me as is the material he used to make the inset.

The only thing I am not a fan of is there is no room on the top to put a custom label. It seems others like the centered version better. Hopefully Chris can make both to keep all of us who want a little protection and a cool looking holder happy.

Thanks for the feedback, Ben! Good news is I can definitely get some made with room at the top for you. Your comments about the stock itself are most helpful; I wanted to be sure I wasn't the only one who liked the thickness.

Note that the stock is neutral pH and acid free and should be safe for many years of storage.
