Hi everyone,
To store signed index cards I use Ultra Pro Toploader series, 4" x 6" Toploader Ultra Clear sheet protectors. I was wondering whether anyone knows whether they are safe to use or not. It doesn't say on the Label but most of the other Ultra Pro items say PVC free and Acid free. The sheet protectors are fairly heavy and unbendable. Does anyone have any idea of whether I should continue to use these sheet protectors or not? 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Steve------------------

I've had very good look with Gaylord archival products! My guess is that if it's not clearly stated that it is archival, then it's not.

I use the ultra pro sheet protectors for some of my 8x10 autographs. I like there thickness also. Every package I have ever seen from this company has stated PVC free and Acid free so I would think they should be safe. If you have rare/expensive autographs I would certainly yield to caution and get a product that specifically states that they are "safe." |

I have also had good luck with Light Impressions' archival page protectors. They even have some with a flap across the top to prevent your items from sliding out. Link: http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com/servlet/OnlineShopping |

In the comic book world, Ultra Pro has come under some fire for claiming to be archival when it's something less than that. No one regulates the use of "archival" in any event. As far as I know, Mylar D is still the only truly archival and inert plastic material that's readily available. I usually use 4 mil thickness and that's pretty sturdy. Library supply shops like Gaylord and Demco have a wide variety of sizes, but it's not cheap. |
