hey guys,
i am in the process of putting some of my high end cards in one touch holders. i do have three questions,

1. do they make one touch holders for larger cards like 1955 and 1966 topps?

2. is it better, necessary or any benefits to putting the one touch in a team set bag for long term storage or for different weather conditions?

3. anyone ever hear this one.some guy at the local card shop said that for long term storage, it is better to store cards in those white cardboard storage boxes versus the plastic rubbermaid containers i ue because the plastic over a period of time damages the cards due to moisture from the plastic??

any thoughts?

thanks,
elbert
 
1. I haven't seen any, just single screw holders.

2. I don't think it would matter for weather conditions, the team bag doesn't make it airtight (for humidity) or anything and I would hope you aren't storing them where they may be rained on. :p

I think the only reason to put them in team bags would be to avoid scratching the holders as they rub against each other.

3. It's probably a better idea to store them in cardboard boxes to give them a chance to "breathe". If they are in an airtight rubbermaid container anything trapped in the container stays in there and could either water-damage the cards from humidity or make them stink. Ever open anything airtight up that had been sealed for a very long time?

I don't think the plastic itself is going to damage the holders or cards.
 
thank you for your input, i really appreciate it. i have them right now in one of those little plastic rubbermaid shoe box size containers. however i think it would be better just to put them back in the cardboard boxes. initially i was thinking putting each one touch in a team set bag for humidity reasons.
