They make different thickness of those holders (internal thicknesses) - 35 point is the right fit for bikes with enough leeway to believe all poker cards should be fine.

In preparation of selling off my Thirdway Industry collection, took a bunch of pictures so thought I would drop them here for posterity.

Examples: of my shoe box collection with KingsWIld extras and other series. Have stopped trying to keep up with all Jackson stuff.
Typically buy what I like and leave the rest, too much, too fast and not all of it is at the quality level he started with.
KingsWild starting to remind me of Illusionist and some of Dan & Dave's stuff. Endless variations and stuff only his fans would buy to complete their collections.
But some times I still can't help myself, still buy his Federal & Legal Tender releases, and I like a lot of his Novel licensed stuff.

Correct these are the ones I am missing. I would love to see someone's collection that has all the Gran Riserva - It would be most impressive. :drool:
I had forgotten all the different Heretics produced, was browsing through Portfolio52 and decided to pull the full list together for my tracking spreadsheet.

Also added some of the proto's Lorenzo put up for auction recently.

I had never intended to ever get any uncuts... until Uusi's Royal Optix convinced me otherwise. I've picked up a few others since then, but yeah, Uusi started it for me. Seeing your two Uusi uncuts... all I can say is props, my friend.

And, throughout everything you've posted here, you have exquisite taste. I think Alistair Cookie Monster said it best: "Om nom nom...."
