How to Protect and Store Graded Cards

While most collectors keep their cards removable holders, many choose to have their cards graded and encased in rigid card slabs. For a service fee, trusted companies such as Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), Beckett Grading Services (BGS), SGC, Certified Sports Guaranty (CSG), Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), International Sports Authentication (ISA), Premier Card Grading (PCG), and Hybrid Grading Approach (HGA) will grade your card and encase them in a sealed card slab. BCW offers several solutions for storing your graded cards.

Semi-Rigid #1 Card Holders

Before all of that, you will need to get your cards sent in to be graded. Collectors use items such as Semi-Rigid holders, as grading companies prefer these over holders like toploaders. In fact, using a different holder can lead to the grading process taking longer.

Semi-Rigid 1 and 2 Storage Boxes

When paired with a Penny Sleeve, a semi-rigid can act as a protective solution on its own. BCW offers several boxes to store semi-rigid holders, whether you plan to send to graders en masse or use them as your preferred storage solution.
