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<\/a>), Beckett Grading Services (BGS<\/a>), SGC<\/a>, Certified Sports Guaranty (CSG<\/a>), Certified Guaranty Company (CGC<\/a>), International Sports Authentication (ISA<\/a>), Premier Card Grading (PCG<\/a>), and Hybrid Grading Approach (HGA<\/a>) will grade your card and encase them in a sealed card slab. BCW offers several solutions for storing your graded cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Semi-Rigid<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

\"Semi-Rigid<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

Graded Card Sleeves<\/a>
To keep the plastic slabs free of scratches, many collectors place the graded cards in sleeves. BCW Graded Card Sleeves are actually bags, meaning they have a flap that folds over the top and closes with a resealable strip. These are large enough to accommodate almost all card slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many collectors will be content with having their graded cards stored away, some collectors will want to display their slabs, especially of their most prized cards. The Interlocking Graded Card Frame<\/a> comes with 4 frames that can be arranged in different configurations to fit your vision, and multiple sets can be combined for larger displays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
