>>57224575If you are purely collecting, you want to go with Ultra Pro clear. since you should already have them in top loaders, this gives you the opportunity to inspect your cards briefly before deciding if you want to grade them. if you are sitting on a lot of products, you may remember what you want to get graded but will forget in the long run. so, it's great when they are clear and in a top loader, because you can quickly check them without removing them.
If you're going for expensive sleeves, it's probably because 1 you are being a binder fag and NEED the premium sleeves, or you are actually playing the game, which i would contend dragon sleeves are pretty much the best.
just as long as their acidic free, you should be good. just know what you are using them for and the difference.
I can't recall how many times I have had to take a card out of the top loader and the sleeve to re-inspect it if it's worth grading. go clear, its best in the long run.
In insurance terms, whenever you take a card out of its protected case that is exposure. exposure to what? the possibility of damaging.
