Gear Worth Buying

Soft, cheap, and the reason your cards don't pick up scratches. Buy the 100-packs.

The rigid layer for anything you'd be sad to bend — 35pt fits a sleeved card without jamming.

Resealable bags around a loaded toploader — the finishing touch on anything you trade or ship.

Cards upright, snug, and out of sunlight. Start with an 800-count.

Matte shuffles better and glares less than glossy. Buy two identical packs.

Holds a sleeved deck plus dice — magnetic closures survive a backpack, flip-lids don't.

Machine-stitched edges last years longer than cut edges.

Nests inside a standard sleeve — the double-sleeve setup for anything valuable.

Side-loading pockets can't dump cards. Never ring binders — the rings dent cards.

UV-resistant magnetic display for your best raw cards — 35pt fits standard singles.

What the grading companies themselves ask for — the submission standard.

000-size fits a team-bagged toploader — sandwich it in cardboard and it survives any sorting machine.

Slabs scratch too — and a scratched case means paying for a reholder.
