Yes, you can, as long as the holder accommodates for the size. What he is doing also doesnt do much for the edges and corners of the card, either. They can still rattle and bang around. Doesn't make much sense to get worried about one surface of the card when you left the other side, and the edges, unprotected.
great idea for a video. i have found in my experience that most holders are acceptable for keeping cards safe provided you take a microfiber cloth and wipe them down prior to placing them in your holder of choice. you can easily damage a card with even a penny sleeve if you have a speck of dirt or dust that drags across the surface of the card as you're inserting it. friction plus dirt/dust is responsible for the vast majority of surface scratches that aren't incurred during manufacture. the key is to store cards in a dust/dirt free environment or just get them slabbed as soon as possible.
So basically one touches will not damage your card. My experience from screw downs have been if the card “doesn’t” move around it could stick to the top of the case. I’ve had that happen a few times. I’ve never had a one touch damage my cards with normal use or moving it around or anything. But I haven’t shaked it like crazy like that lol
@@Matt-vh9vs if you get it graded by Beckett they actually put the card in a soft plastic sleeve. PSA they do not and it’s free to move around. Not sure about other grading companies
That card is bowed and I’m sure that had something to do with it. After beating it to death under those circumstances I’m greatly confident these are the very best product for protecting your collection. Good video THANKS ‼️
The Pro Mold 55 point with Penny Sleeve works perfectly! The penny sleeve fits inside the case and the card is protected in the sleeve inside the case. Get the 55pt to allow bowing and the thickness of the sleeve.
One touches are meant for the cards to look pretty and when you go to shows they shine and have a better chance at selling. Not to be thrown around like a toploader can. I put my higher end cards in one touches inside a team bag and everytime I transfer them I just be careful with it.
Way late to the video. Bought 50 of these as they were on a decent sale. Was wondering what the quality was like to Ultra-Pro as I got a few of those. Considering the test you put that card into which is way more than a collector would ever be willing to be put a card through I'd say the quality is pretty damn good.
I have similar concerns, but with vintage it's more about the card moving around at the sides than worries about surface damage. Not all vintage cards were cut from the same point cardboard - particularly this is true for 1970's cards. In many cases 35 point is way too thick, and they will just slosh around in there. For this and other reasons, I've mostly given up on magnetics. Toploaders are cheap, easily replaceable, and if used properly with penny sleeves - the cards stay put and don't move around. Yes, it can take some patience with the penny sleeves, but as long as you don't force the cards it will work eventually without damaging them.
Hey I know this is random, but I just ordered a bunch of the 35pt ultra pro one touches, and I held them up to a bright light and I notice they all have these streaks in a curved stripe pattern on the outside of them. I wonder if anyone else has noticed these streaks on their brand new ultra pro one touches, like is it a manufacturing defect, or did I just get a bad batch? It would be nice if someone else could check to see if theirs has it also.
Ya I have some streaks on occasional batches that I purchase. Think it’s just a mistake on the manufacturers end but it’s just on the outside. I’m not worried about it since the inside is clean and free of any damage.
The screw down cases have damaged my cards, without minimal to no movement. I had some put away for years and when I went to see them to sell, I took them out of the case and there was damaged towards the bottom. Never again on the screw downs and no I did not over tighten the screw.
A novice holder question. Would it be bad to have a card that would normally be in a 35pt holder, in a 55pt holder with a penny sleeve on both sides? I saw a response about putting it in a 35pt holder but putting the card completely in one penny sleeve but slitting the sleeve. Why is that necessary? Thanks!
Won't fit in the recession. Sleeve is bigger than a card and the one touch recession is only big enough for the card dimensions not a sleeve. Card fits exact, sleeve is taller. One touch won't close with a sleeve over the card and card won't sit flush in the indent
What I don't understand is that the length of the scratch is much longer than any possible movement the card did in the case from shacking it. It looks to be a good 1/4 inch long and the card only moves 1/16 inch up and down, if that....I just bought a few boxes of Pro-Mold 55pt Magnetic One Touch Card Holder that Holds Sleeved cards. You put the card in a sleeve and place it in the case, fits perfect and does not move. Anyone using these?
@@Davessportscards Thanks, I'll have an answer by Saturday lol, also, I have a lab at home and a vibration machine, I plan on doing your test with how you place the sleeve on front and do it with a sleeve on back and one with a Perfect fit sleeve if it fits too. Will probably do a couple weeks from now after GenCon. Cheers and thanks for the reply and great content!
Try the Pro Mold 55 point with Penny Sleeve, they are great. Just bought 4 boxes. The sleeve fits right into the recessed area and protects that card perfectly.
I put my Ohtani Auto card in penny sleeve, top loader. Then I just put it between two pieces of cardboard like I'm mailing it out. Tape it up, stick it in a couple ziplock bags, then I put it in a plastic air tight case. Finally I put it in a backpack or something and just leave it alone until I send out for grading.
Good demonstration. I wanted the Benny Hill theme to play when you did the speed up! Both times! I have used one touch a few times but mostly if I do I put a penny sleeve under the card so it will sit on top of it like a cloud. I mostly use top loaders with penny sleeves and I have pulled 2 gem mint 10's out of Beckett one was an auto of Trout.
Note to self: Do not put one touches inside of paint shaker and set to high. God damn, I thought I was pedantic until I started collecting cards and saw how some of you are about it. If you won't use one touches because you're afraid of damage or feel the need to put a penny sleeve inside of one touch then you need to be buying graded / slabbed cards only, you silly gooses.
This means the best card holder for regular 20 pts cards are the screwdown holders. Otherwise the card will be moving around. The only thing is to make sure the screw goes down straight with no inclinations and it will get sealed pretty well. Using a penny sleeve will defenitively affect the look of the card, not a good idea
Wouldn't fit in the one touch in a sleeve. One touch cut out is the exact size of a card. Sleeve is taller than a card and won't fit in the one touch cut out.
Dude I pulled a an Austin Reaves Mosaic auto silver and immediately tried to one touch it. It was already warped and wouldn’t fit right. lol I messed up those bottom corners so damn bad lol. Whatever…. I don’t really sell my cards or get them graded anyways.
you should do another video where you do the same conditions but this time with your penny sleeve over the card and see if we get the same results. this video was useful but the experiment is invalid unless you perform the same test with the penny sleeve inside it.
nice demonstration, around 9 51 to 9 56 looks like a scratch on right side of card around his elbow a vertical scratch , possible just a reflection, keep up the great videos and have a great day
I’m not into graded cards.. I like the look of one touches better than a slab. And I really just want to own the card. The obsession with psa 10 is ridiculous. People paying thousands of dollars to not have invisible damage.
If you want to hold onto the card and collect it yes there is no point to grading, but if you want to make the most money and invest in a card then grading is the way to go
I got back into trading cards after about fifteen years and I can't believe how much it's changed from more of a hobby into a money making investment thing. This whole PSA10 or nothing and the scalpers on new sets now is ridiculous.
they do they do!!!! i just took out 10 kabooms out of one touch and the one touched left a big upper line on the cards....DONT USE ONE TOUCH WOTH KABOOMS GUYS PROMISE I JUST LOST A SHIT TON OF MONEY OVER THIS
These magnetic holders look nice but that's about it. I have few of them and dropped one on a wooden floor by accident and the magnet popped open 👎😠...Unfortunately there was no card inside. I might as well continue using the (1) screw down holders.
For real expensive baseball, or any sport cards, I prefer to use the screw down case holders because the magnetic ones come apart if your drop them on a hard floor, unless you secure the magnet with a piece of clear tape or a sticker, like the one on the Tatis Jr. card holder.
@@Davessportscards I think they make cards better than the older ones. I have thousands of autos in one touches, I have always gotten good grades on cards. The lost grade was a on a Marino. Great video my friend.
If you would have been a little more specific of the card at first but now you're being a little way too specific at looking at things I don't believe it was scratched I think those are Factory flaws
I've been using these holders for (25) years without any problems at all. I don't ever use the magnetic ones... I don't trust them... if the holder falls out of your hands onto the ground the magnet pops open and the card comes flying right out of the holder damaging the card. With the (1) one screw down that can't happen... you'll damage the holder but not the card. Also... in general the way you constantly clean off your cards with your thumb that does more damage than the holder ever will. I cringed every time you passed your thumbs to clean/wipe off the card. 25 years using without sleeves and zero problems.
