PC9 4 Screw Card Holder Pro-Mold Brand (1)

1 – PRO MOLD ITEM #PC9. 4 SCREW CARD HOLDER FOR CARDS UP TO NORMAL STOCK THICKNESS, NON RECESSED. Description: Traditional style screwdown for trading cards and ticket stubs. Used mostly for vintage trading cards from the early to mid 20th century. This holder has inter-locking screw holes that make it stackable. Most collectors now prefer the 1952 to 1956 Topps One Screw Screwdown, and the 1953 to 1955 Bowman One Screw Screwdown. Strengths: Will hold many different sized cards since it does not have a recessed area. Ideal for storage of oddball sized mementoes like ticket stubs or older trading cards that are not the standard size of 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches long. The maximum size card recommended for this holder is 2.75 inches wide by 4 inches long, and 22 point (22 thousandths of an inch) thick. You can put a card as long as 4.75 inches long in this holder, but the maximum width with a card longer then 4 inches is 2.125 inches wide because otherwise the card will hit the screws. Weaknesses: There’s some question as to whether it’s a good idea to put cards in non-recessed card holders. Some collectors argue that you are smashing the card by doing so. Other collectors prefer not to deal with screwdown holders because it’s time consuming and tedious to put together many at a time since you have to screw them together which is why they use the one screw screwdowns or snap-design holders instead.
