Cards TTM

I was wondering what different people use to protect their cards with their sase's. I have heard some use hard holders, while other use index cards or other kinds of cardboard protectors. Thanks!

I don't use anything other than my letter. Never really had a problem so far.

I usually don't put any protection at all. Unless it's a thick card, or it's signed by someone else, then I'll put it in a toploader. But 95% of the time, the card will come back fine. I'm more concerned how the sig turns out rather than the card haha.

I agree, you don't have to use anything other than the letter and SASE for protection 95% of the time. When you start sending them in toploaders it can be expensive...to keep buying the toploaders....and some times they get signed instead of the card.

I third that. Top loaders get way too expensive, especially when you send out a lot TTM.

2 index cards, your sase, and your letter all wrapped around the card would protect it.........

I have recently started to put my cards into top loaders, but before that I just used penny sleeves.

Same thing I do. Sometimes the celeb will even sign your index cards.
