They will not migrate or harm your cards, photographs, or prints. BCW Toploads come in a variety of sizes and are an inexpensive way to store and display your collectables.

Protect your valuable collectible trading cards with the original Ultra PRO toploaders! These rigid plastic protectors are made with super clear PVC

Ok, I stand corrected - but hear me out: The problem in the 80's with PVC was the plastic pages (soft sleeves) that had PVC. Right? Toploaders I don't think were ever really questioned because the PVC in them acts differently / takes longer to break down?

Pretty sure the concern was the pages that were prevalent back then. I think the reason toploaders may not be concerning is that they aren't directly in contact with the card if you use a sleeve?

Toploaders might have PVC, but I think at this stage in the game if they were regularly damaging cards - we would know about it by now.

I should think so.
