Once you start collecting trading cards, keeping them in top condition is a must—especially if you plan to trade or sell them later. Here are some tips to help you preserve your cards with ease:
-
Avoid Excess Handling
Treat your cards like treasures! Avoid excessive handling, as oils and dirt from your hands can leave permanent marks. Always handle cards with clean, dry hands, and hold them gently by the edges to keep the artwork pristine. A little care goes a long way.
Protect your cards from dust, dirt, and accidental drops with high-quality plastic sleeves. Archival-grade, acid-free sleeves are perfect for keeping your cards fresh. Penny sleeves work for multiple copies, but avoid moving them too much to prevent scratches. Find our range of sleeves here.
Rare or valuable cards deserve extra protection. Soft plastic top loaders are ideal for transporting your prized cards safely. Grab some top loaders here.
Want to protect and display your cards? Hard plastic cases like mini snaps, magnetic one-touch cases, and screwdown bricks are perfect. Pair them with stylish display stands for maximum flair! Explore our hard cases here and stands here.
Keep your top loaders and hard cases safe with resealable bags. They’re a simple way to prevent damage to your cases—and your cards. You can find our resealable bags here.
Love showing off your collection? Binders, folders, and portfolios are perfect for organizing and displaying your cards. With options for four, nine, or twelve cards per page, you can create a stunning showcase. Start building your display with our portfolios here and binders here!
