• ATTENTION
    After much thought I have come to the decision that, effective on January 1, 2026, almost all of my websites will be permanently shutting down, including Sports Card Arena. I'd like to encourage you all to register, if you haven't already, at Sports Card Club. On January 1, 2026 all data will be removed from this server and the domain name will simply redirect all traffic to there.

Sale: zlw1 to Mike

I'll get you paid as soon as I get home from work this evening. Thanks Zach!
 
@zlw1, I gotta ask. What were the white ribbons, or whatever those little strips were, for? They were in both toploaded cards, so I'm assuming there's a reason, but I've never seen that before.

It’s to prevent the cards from sliding into the tape. I picked up on this about three months ago from someone else and it works great!

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. At first I thought it was like a pull tab to get the tape off...spoiler alert...you can't grab it from the outside...and yes I tried. 🤦‍♂️ 🤣 Then I wasn't sure what the heck it could be. Glad you told me! I might've been thinking about that for days!

Yeah I just use the non-stick side of the adhesive from team bags and self seal envelopes. They work against the card from sliding into the stickiness of the painters tape.

Someone on sportlots was doing this, and I figured, well heck, if it's working for them, it doesn't cost me anymore, and I don't have to worry about the cards sliding into the tape.
