How do I choose the right size semi-rigid sleeves for my cards?

For standard trading cards, sleeves with a 1/2" lip are commonly used, ensuring easy handling and additional protection for the card edges.
Can semi-rigid sleeves be used for shipping cards?

How should I store my semi-rigid sleeves with 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.
Are semi-rigid sleeves reusable?

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.
Are there any alternatives to semi-rigid sleeves for card protection?
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.
