These things have been around for 40+ years at this point. If they did, wouldn't we have been warned off a la the PVC pages paranoia of the 1980's / 90's, or the "screw-down-cases-are-bad" phenomenon of the past few decades?

Would PSA continue to say that they prefer subs in Card Savers if they actually damaged cards - knowing that many of their subs sit for like half a year on-end before being graded?

I think I'm making much ado out of nothing. Feel free to disagree...

I don't know enough about Card Savers to know if you are right, but I don't agree with this argument. One Touch Card Holders can absolutely damage cards over time and people seem to ignore this. (One Touch Card Holders have a little area around the corner recessed. I have seen cards where over time, you can clearly see that the card itself has a mark at that location. I cannot say for sure that they were not shaken, but based the caliber of card, I assume it was just natural moving around from being brought to shows etc. (I vaguely remember someone doing a video on this which was on Youtube though it has been some time.)
