PAMP assay cards

I'm thinking of buying more PAMP assay carded metal. Are the cards all the same size for fractional gold, platinum, and palladium regardless of metal or weight up to 1 ounce? How about the Stillwater and APMEX cards? Will they all fit in the same box?

Pretty sure the cards are all the same size. I used to buy the 1 gram gold bars then moved to buying the Perth Mint 1 gram carded bars. Cards are both same size between companies too. Maybe check out pictures of say, a 1 gram Pamp card and a 1 oz. They all have a millimeter scale on the back edge of the card. It may help you gauge things to be sure.

Good luck stacking.

I'm seeing advice that sellers want a big premium on the carded stuff but buyers don''t want it. Also watch out for fakes.

I was going to say, the Pamp gold bars in assay cards have been known to be counterfeited, so DYODD on the differences. I saved a screenshot from BS about this that I'll upload. I think natsb88 did the original post, and he also runs a great resource for this type of stuff at fakebullion.com

Personally I prefer Credit Suisse to Pamp, but I do have some Pamp in my stack as well which I examined more closely after finding out about this.
