Black by a mile. Just me but I would not want them to fit in a penny sleeve. Would rather they fit the 3X4 toploader. What is the thickness of them?

Hey Ben, they're about .4mm. We could definitely make them fit the full size of a top loader. I assumed (incorrectly!) that people would like the added protection of a penny sleeve.

Again just me. I want a little protection in a very cool looking holder. If I wanted top protection I would go with the ones I posted with the mylar sleeve. I could be way off on what the average collector is looking for though.

What you made but the size of a toploader would be exactly what I want for my lower condition T cards. After doing the conversion that is a great thickness for the insert.

Good feedback, Ben. One more question: any preference between plastic (inert, safe for long term storage) or archival paper stock of the same thickness?

I would prefer paper stock.
