Is there a go-to online source (website, specific ebayer, etc) to get toploaders or penny sleeves for non-standard sized cards? I have a small but seemingly growing number of odds and ends which either don’t easily fit into my monster boxes or don’t fit into a standard toploader. In particular, I have a complete set of 1991 Sparky’s Shawna Robinson cards which I just got autographed about 3 weeks ago. They’re no more than 1/8” wider than a standard trading card. I was able to penny sleeve them with sleeves for thick cards, but a standard toploader is just a hair too skinny. My LCS shops have fairly limited options as well.
I’d be grateful for anyone who can point me in the right direction. Thanks and Happy New Year!

BCW has some oversized options.

For one pack (or less) it is often cheaper (price + shipping) to find a dealer on eBay that buys in bulk and charges reasonable shipping on smaller quantities.
...and kudos on the ROUS reference...LOL!

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

I think I'm going to need something slightly wider than a standard 3x4 toploader. Looking at the dimensions on the link you sent, I don't think those will be wide enough. But I'll look around the site and see what other offerings they have. Thanks!

The link I provided is wider and taller than the standard 3x4 toploader. It's designed to hold the larger 1952-1956 Topps cards.

I promise I'm not trying to be argumentative, nor am I trying to be deliberately obtuse. When I pulled up the link, it gives dimensions of 2 5/8" by 3 3/4." Would this not be smaller than 3" x 4"?
Perhaps this is an idiot rookie moment on my part. I feel like I'm missing an important detail here, but I'm just not sure what it is. Thank in advance for anything you can share to set me straight here :)
