Toploader sizes and point thickness explained

Separate a holder's face size from its thickness capacity, with sourced Vault X size steps.

We haven't tested these products. Sizes and thicknesses are as the manufacturer states them (checked 2026-10-25).

Two checks, not one

A holder needs a suitable face size and enough depth for the card. A thickness rating cannot make an oversized card fit a standard-face holder. The same principle applies to unusually narrow or small cards, which may move inside a wider holder.

Vault X rigid holder rating Maker's stated maximum card thickness
35pt 35pt
55pt 55pt
75pt 75pt
100pt 100pt
130pt 130pt

The linked manufacturer pages below were checked on 25 October 2026. These are the verified steps used by our tool, not an exhaustive list of all holders sold.

Choose from a known thickness

For a card known to be 60pt, the next listed capacity is 75pt. A 55pt holder is below the stated card thickness. This is a selection rule, not a guarantee: check the actual card, sleeve and holder together without force.

If the card's thickness is unknown, use a maker's thickness gauge or ask the manufacturer. Do not estimate from whether a card is shiny, rare or labelled a relic. A point rating is a capacity label; it is not a grade.

Our protection finder stops at its verified range. Above that, obtain a specifically rated product rather than treating the largest result as suitable.
