What sleeves does PSA prefer?

For PSA grading, you need a two-step sleeving process: first, put your card in a clear penny sleeve, then place that into a semi-rigid card saver (like Ultra Pro Card Savers or BCW Card Savers) for protection during submission, as rigid toploaders can delay grading or cause damage; ensure sleeves are loose-fitting and not opaque.

Can toploaders damage cards?

No, top loaders don't inherently damage cards but can if used incorrectly; the key is to double sleeve (card in a soft sleeve, then into the rigid toploader) to prevent scratches from dust or movement, avoid forcing them in, use acid-free materials, and store them upright to prevent bending or warping, as raw cards or improperly sleeved cards will get scratched or damaged.
