I have used BCW for years, but I did notice in the last case of pages I ordered the quality seemed to have taken a dip. Not sure if it was a one-time issue or a trend. As Shannon pointed out there customer service is great and I appreciate the ability to buy direct.

I have used both BCW and UP Platinum for years and I have to say that I have been happier with the UP, over time buying fewer and fewer BCW.  The one group of cards I do use BCW for is with the early to mid 50's cards that are 3 3/4" x 2 5/8.  I cannot find that size pages in UP.

Yes, UP pages fully cover cards in ALL rows. The new version of UP pages is actually a little loose for thin cards. They can hold the modern thicker cards and will stretch to hold many of the MEM cards now without damage. But of course Panini is challenging that with their super-thick MEM cards that will NOT fit in 9-card pages of any kind.

You may be right Chuck. I don't really know the story of them either. I just know that when they started putting a card in each package of pages in the early mid-90's, they were initially called Rembrandt in the hobby.

Amazon Basics pages are oversized and will hold up to 300 pt bricks cards.

Do the pages get a bit snug with other 300pt cards in the pockets next to them Chuck? And seeing as everyone is talking about pages in this thread (duh!) what about binders? D-rings I would like to think?

Hey Chuck, that picture you posted is exactly how the cards were sticking out in the middle row on BCW pages.  Granted, you crammed a beast of a card in there.  I tested the BCW pages out with base cards of 2018 Topps Heritage, and 2016-17 Donruss.  

I wouldn't use those Amazon pages just b/c of the dot-seams. That's a great way to bang up some corners trying to insert the card. I only use straight-line seamed pages. I've thrown away so many pages just because they had dotted or dashed seams. For my cards too thick for a UP page, I'll put them in one-touches or snap-tite/slip-over/hinged plastic cases just thick enough for the card. If those don't get displayed with a "decorative plate" stand, they go in a big plastic box with similarly cased cards and all my graded cards. I think the only card I have at 300pt. is a booklet card. It's been in a 20-card slip-over case since I pulled it from a pack in 2014.
