I have a collection of 2010 Allen&Ginter Luke Hochevar cards.
And their backs.
I'm a fan of mini cards. I'd be an even bigger fan of them if there was a better protective container to store them in rather than a giant top loader.
I've come to realize that the best looking printing plates are the cyan and magenta ones, while the yellow and black plates seem to be a bit more bland and boring. But I am a huge fan of the colorful boarder material that A&G used for their special mini cards. Very visually appealing. And putting the 1/1 stamp on the front of the card is always appreciated.
Yes, I do own multiple "blank back" cards. I know that the ToppsVault is just pandering to player collectors like me with these "1/1" cards, but I don't care. The one complaint that I have with the ToppsVault eBay store is their shipping and handling costs are much higher than they need to be.
I am missing the base card and a few more printing plates from my collection now, but I know that one day I'll have collected the whole set.

They make a mini card top loader. I have never seen one in a store but I have received mini cards in trades that were in them.
Yeah, they make smaller toploaders for older tobacco cards.
It's funny that you say, "I am missing the base card…". That's when you know you have a cool collection going!!!
Whenever we trade next, remind me and I can send you a few mini toploaders.
If someone would make a normal size penny sleeve with an internal pocket that fits a T206-sized mini, we could then fit those into our standard pages and be very happy. Until then, here are two other options:
