Frequently Asked Question of the Month

With all the different sized trading cards on the market, how do I know which Pro-Mold card holder will fit my card? For instance, I have real thick cards that have part of a player's jersey in them and I also have cards that are just a little thicker then the traditional style trading cards but not as thick as the jersey cards.  

Answer: Right now Pro-Mold has five different sizes of holders available for Trading cards:

To find out which size of a card holder will work best for your thicker card, try this simple test:

1. Take 4 regular size, thinner cards like Topps Trading cards and stack them neatly in a pile.

2. Take the thicker card and set it right next to the stack of Topps cards and see which is higher; the pile of Topps Cards or the thicker card.

3. If the pile of Topps Cards is higher then you can use the trading card holder that holds the "Thicker Cards" (2nd row in the table above). If the thicker card is higher then the pile of Topps Cards then you will have to use a "Memorabilia Card" or "Real Thick Card" holder (third row in the table above).

4. If the card is super thick, like the Upper Deck Sweet Spot Cards, then use the Super Thick Holders. Some of the newer Upper Deck Sweet Spot Cards will have to go into the Super Duper Thick Holder.
