Ultra Pro - Semi-Rigid Card Holder with 1/2" Lip

Semi-rigid sleeves are a type of protective storage solution designed to hold and safeguard trading cards, collectibles, and other valuable items. Made from durable plastic, these sleeves provide a balance between flexibility and rigidity, ensuring cards remain protected from damage while being easy to handle.

Semi-rigid sleeves protect cards by preventing physical damage such as bending, creasing, and surface scratches. They provide a snug fit that keeps cards secure, reducing the risk of corner dings and edge wear. The rigid structure also offers a layer of defense against environmental factors like dust and moisture.

Semi-rigid sleeves offer several benefits, including superior protection compared to standard card sleeves, ease of handling and inserting cards, and suitability for long-term storage. They are also ideal for grading submissions, as many grading services prefer cards submitted in semi-rigid sleeves due to their protective properties.

You can purchase semi-rigid sleeves from here or if you are local come pick some up from our Gaming Centre.

Choosing the right size semi-rigid sleeves depends on the dimensions of your cards. Measure the height and width of your cards and select sleeves that provide a close fit without excessive space. For standard trading cards, sleeves with a 1/2" lip are commonly used, ensuring easy handling and additional protection for the card edges.

Yes, semi-rigid sleeves are excellent for shipping cards. They offer robust protection during transit, minimizing the risk of damage from handling or environmental factors. For added security, you can combine semi-rigid sleeves with bubble mailers or padded envelopes when shipping cards. We do this for our own Single Cards!

Store your semi-rigid sleeves with cards in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Use storage boxes or containers specifically designed for card collections to keep your sleeved cards organized and protected. Ensure that the storage solution allows the sleeves to stand upright to prevent bending or warping.

Yes, semi-rigid sleeves are reusable as long as they remain in good condition. Inspect sleeves for any signs of wear or damage before reusing them to ensure they continue to provide adequate protection for your cards. Clean sleeves gently if necessary to remove any dust or debris before inserting new cards.

Alternatives to semi-rigid sleeves include standard Standard Sleeves, Top Loaders, and Card Holders. Standard sleeves are flexible and provide basic protection, while top loaders offer more rigid protection. Card Holders are ideal for displaying high-value cards. Each option has its own benefits, so choose based on your specific protection needs and preferences.
