    Your handling of the cards as you put them in the card savers is embarrassing - you actually whip the plastic on card #2!
    It is easy to prevent this - put the cards in penny sleeves and cut one of the edges of the card saver for easy insertion (and likely grading with PSA).
    Level up folks! We need to teach new collectors the best practices!

    • @peterchoe
      @peterchoe 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
