ONE-TOUCH Thickness Guide: 23PT vs 35PT vs 130PT Holders

Use card thickness in points to pick the right ONE-TOUCH holder. Compare 23PT, 35PT, and 130PT sizes, then match the holder to your card before you buy.
Quick answer
Measure your card's thickness in points first, then buy the ONE-TOUCH holder rated for that point size. A 23PT holder fits standard cards up to 23pt, a 35PT holder fits cards up to 35pt, and a 130PT holder fits thick rookie relics and memorabilia cards up to 130pt.
Why point size matters more than card brand
Point size is the card's thickness measured in thousandths of an inch. A standard card is about 20pt, while relic and patch cards can run 100pt or more. ONE-TOUCH holders are sized by that same measurement, so the holder's point rating is the only reliable fit check.
A holder that is too thin will not close over the card, and one that is too thick lets the card shift inside the case. Both problems are avoidable if you check the point size before ordering.
The 35PT gap in the current catalog
The supplied product records include 23PT and 130PT ONE-TOUCH holders but do not list a 35PT model. If your card measures between 24pt and 35pt, do not assume a 23PT holder will stretch to fit. Treat the missing 35PT option as a catalog limitation and confirm availability before you plan around it.
This gap matters most for modern base cards with slightly thicker stock and for some insert cards. When in doubt, measure the card rather than guessing from the brand or set.
Display protection beyond the point size
Both supplied ONE-TOUCH models use a two-piece slide-in hinge and magnetic closure, so you can open and reseat a card without a screwdriver. They also use UV-blocking additives and no-PVC, acid-free materials to protect the card during display.
Those features support long-term display, but they do not change the fit rule: the holder must match the card's thickness. Buy for fit first, then rely on the closure and material for protection.
Decision rules for choosing a ONE-TOUCH size
- Measure the card first: Use calipers or compare the card to a known standard card. If it measures 23pt or less, choose a 23PT holder. If it measures above 23pt and up to 130pt, choose a 130PT holder. Write the point size on the holder or sleeve so you do not remeasure later.
- Match the holder to the card type: Standard base cards and thin inserts belong in a 23PT holder. Rookie relics, patches, and memorabilia cards belong in a 130PT holder.
- Do not force a thick card into a thin holder: If the two halves do not close flush with light pressure, stop. A holder that bows or pinches the card can damage the card and will not display cleanly.
- Check for a 35PT option before buying: The supplied catalog does not list a 35PT ONE-TOUCH holder. If your card falls between 24pt and 35pt, confirm whether a suitable holder is available rather than assuming the 23PT will fit.

Who should choose which ONE-TOUCH
Best for
- Collectors displaying standard-thickness cards up to 23pt in a 23PT holder
- Collectors protecting thick rookie relics, patches, and memorabilia cards up to 130pt in a 130PT holder
- Display setups where you want magnetic closure and UV-resistant materials instead of a screwdown case
Not for
- Cards that measure between 24pt and 35pt until a 35PT holder is confirmed available
- Cards thicker than 130pt, which need a larger holder than either supplied model
- Raw cards you plan to handle frequently, since a sleeve and toploader may be more practical for active sorting
