What sizes should I order for standard cards (I'm assuming 35 pt)? And on the chance that I pull jersey cards (75 pt)?

I'm surprised there are so many different sizes available now.

Any help is appreciated, I don't want to "over order" but I want to have something on stand-by if needed.

Hard to say. I can tell you I've got pretty much all at my house in some quanity. Just depends on what products you prefer to open, if you switch manufactures (ie Topps, Donruss, Upperdeck), you'll end up using different sizes. In all honesty, best to get a few of each.

Welcome back. You should get some regular size clear penny sleeves, some extra large ones, then some regular sized toploaders. Then 3" x 4" and the same size but super thick. Other than that (better caseings) you'd have to hear it from somebody else...

Thanks I luv fish, looks like thats what I am going to do, probalby just order 1 or 2 of the odd sizes for now and re-order as needed, but figured best to have one on stand-by just in case I pull something big (no pun intended).

BCW 79pt are good for topps jerseys, but you will need something higher for Panini jerseys. Like fish said, better to just get some of each

I buy a little of each as well...makes it worthwhile for the shipping price you are going to have to pay.

It'd be nice if BO sold a combo pack, one that had 10 of each size, for $7 or so

Make sure you get some of the larger soft sleeves for your jersey/thicker cards.

I always over buy supplies because I would hate to see a $100 card ruined because I tried to save a few bucks.
