The supplies we trust to keep cards safe, from a single penny sleeve to getting a card ready for grading. Every card we ship goes in a penny sleeve, a top loader and a team bag.

🧤 Sleeves

The first layer for every card. A soft sleeve stops scratches and fingerprints.

• Ultra Pro Penny Sleeves (1,000 pack)The basic soft sleeve. Cheap, clear, and the first layer before a top loader. Thin, so don't reuse torn ones.

• Ultra Pro 3" x 4" Clear Regular Toploaders (25 pack)The standard hard holder for 35pt cards. Always put the card in a penny sleeve first.

🧲 Magnetic one-touch holders

For your best cards: display-ready, and they close with a magnet.

• Ultra Pro ONE-TOUCH 35pt magnetic holder (UV)Fits standard 35pt cards and has UV protection. Some thin cards wiggle a little inside, so a sleeve can help.
