I’m on a card display kick, and frankly, we should all be. That is, as collectors, think about the fun and feeling you get when flipping through and organizing your cards. Now, what if you could replicate even a fraction of that feeling simply by looking up from your desk at pieces of your collection on your shelves or wall?
Well, I’ve gone through most of my autos—taking them from top loaders and into magnetic one-touch cases, and then onto acrylic card stands. And while I have yet to really figure out a good solution to all of the different inserts I love to look at, graded cards are next up on the list.
So, I’m looking for a good graded card case to up my display game, and I’m inviting you along with me.
In terms of process, personally, I try not to get too sucked in by the product descriptions. I mean sure, it’s nice to know how many of a card can fit along with other basic features, but I want to know what the people think. You know, the ones actually using the display instead of the people trying to sell it.
For each, then, I’m going to go through a number of reviews, separate the pros from the cons and do my best to summarize how people feel about the product.
Note: This information was reviewed as of May 2023 and could have changed. With all products, I encourage you to do your own research based on your personal needs as this is but a snapshot.
