I have three autograph cards (Ron, Hermione and Percy), I desperately want to keep the protected.  The toploaders they are in now are too big, what type of toploader should I buy? Could you please tell me where abouts on the internet i could buy a toploader in the UK?

Thankyou.

I found a website in the UK, but they're currently out of the clear Ultra Pro - Premium Toploaders Pack of 25, but they do have ones with either green or red borders.  The size you would get for autographs is 20 pt or it'll say Fits all standard sized trading/gaming cards 2.5" x 3.5" on the package.

Try your nearest branch of Forbidden Planet to see if they have any in stock - I saw some in my local FB and they had different depths to take the differing thicknesses of card.
I don't know if you have a Gamestation near you but the one here in Derby has a Travelling Man and they also stock soft sleeves and Ultra Pro pages and other storage stuff, so they might be worth a look too.

The best are the magnetic cases.  Sort of like the one screw down ones, but with a nice magnet instead.  They are wonderful!!  Come in 35 pt and 130 pt.  I only know of one store by me that carries them (in the US), but if you can find them, they are great.  Thy cost $1.09 here, so they are priced really well.  If you really wanted them and couldn't find them, I could pick them up for you and ship them, if you wanted to pay for them plus shipping.....it is up to you.

Oh, I love those.  I think they are pretty new.  I hate those screwdown ones.  I only wish that they would make them in more sizes.  I've put all of my favorite stuff in them.  The place I go to sells both versions for around $1 (depending on which booth I go to), with no tax, so I have many.

Well, jfer21 nd I can highly recommend those magnetis ones if you can find them.  I too think they are pretty new, but they are great!

Yep they are new - they came out between ROTK and Trilogy cards.... we no longer use the year of our Lord AD, but indeed the new Yakkerian calendar goes by card releases
