Palms Off Gaming Top Loaders 75pt
A$8.50 — In stock
75pt is the relic size. Jersey cards, single-piece patch cards and the thicker premium inserts from high-end sports products usually measure somewhere around this mark, which is well beyond what a 35pt or 55pt loader can take without strain. This loader gives those cards a rigid shell that actually fits them, so they can be posted, traded or boxed without the plastic bowing out around a swatch.
Why collectors pick this one
- 75pt: sized for jersey, relic and single-patch cards
- Room for the swatch area without the card shifting
- Rigid protection for posting and storage
- Mostly for sports cards, including AFL and NRL relics
- Pair with a thick-card sleeve before loading
Choosing the right one
The point rating is the card's **thickness**, not its size. A standard modern card is 35pt. Thicker stock — older cards, patch and relic cards, jersey cards — climbs from there: 55pt, 75pt, 100pt, 130pt, 180pt. If you are not sure, measure the card or start at 35pt for anything modern and standard. The booster pack size takes a sealed pack rather than a single card.
About the Top Loaders 75pt
Memorabilia cards are built in layers, with a window cut into the front and a piece of fabric or material sandwiched behind it. That construction is what makes them thick, and it is also what makes them vulnerable: a card squeezed into the wrong loader can split along a layer or crease beside the window. A 75pt loader leaves enough depth for the swatch area without letting the card shift around.
This is overwhelmingly a sports card size. NBA, AFL, NRL, cricket and soccer relics, autographed memorabilia cards and thick premium base cards are typical. A few TCG items such as metal or thick promotional cards may need it too, but ordinary trading card game singles are far better off in a 35pt. If a patch card has multiple pieces or a large embedded swatch, check whether 100pt suits it better.
Use a sleeve sized for thick cards before loading, and store filled 75pt loaders upright in a box so the weight of the stack does not press on the window area. They also make a sensible holding stage before a card goes into a magnetic case for display.

Common questions
What does "pt" mean?
Point rating is the card's thickness in thousandths of an inch. A standard modern trading card is about 35pt. It has nothing to do with the card's length or width, which are the same across all of these.
Which point size do I need?
Almost all modern single cards are 35pt. Thick-stock inserts, patch, jersey and relic cards need 55pt and up. Using a loader that is too large lets the card shift around inside, which causes exactly the corner wear the loader is meant to prevent.
What is the difference between a top loader and a card loader?
Both are rigid protectors in the same point sizes. They differ in the loading edge and profile — check the product photos on each page for the shape you want.
Do I still need a penny sleeve?
Yes. A card should always go into a soft sleeve before a top loader — sliding a bare card against rigid PVC is what scuffs the surface and rounds the corners.
