Supplies & storage
Most raw cards we buy, sell, or ship sit in a penny sleeve, toploader, and team bag. Graded cards get a sleeve or a padded slab case. The brands below are the ones collectors already search for — not a mystery kit.
Sleeve first, then the rigid holder. Fit matters: standard 3x4 toploaders for typical modern cards; use thicker or “rookie” holders only when the card needs them. Buy in boxes, not one-off retail packs, once you are listing regularly.
A resealable team bag over the toploader keeps dust and moisture off and gives you a clean surface for a small label. We prefer a tiny piece of painters tape over heavy packing tape on the holder itself.
Useful for display and higher-value raw cards you are not shipping across the country every week. Check corners and thickness before you force a vintage card into a tight magnet.
300-, 500-, and 800-count boxes, plus graded-card boxes for slabs. BCW and similar bulk boxes are cheaper per card than constantly rebuying retail tins.
Fine for personal collections. We do not ship binder pages as the only protection, and we avoid cheap rings that bite corners. Side-loading ultra-pro style pages are the usual standard if you go this route.
A soft slab sleeve stops scuffs in a box. For a single high-value card in the mail, pair that with a card-sized cardboard mailer or a small dedicated slab case — see the shipping page.
