Protect your valuable trading cards during storage, transport and grading
You want to protect a valuable trading card as well as possible against bending, scratches, dust and damage during transport. The DrPhone CardSafe Semi-Rigid Card Holders offer a sturdy yet semi-flexible protective layer for loose collectible cards.
These semi-rigid card holders are especially suitable for TCG collectors, card sellers and collectors who want to prepare cards for shipping or grading. They can be used for, among others, Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball, sports cards and other trading cards of a suitable size.
Ideal for grading and card shipping
Do you want to have a trading card graded by a grading company such as PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC? A semi-rigid card holder is often used to provide extra support to loose cards during processing and transport.
The card stays better in place than in just a soft sleeve, while the semi-rigid construction is less bulky than many fully hard card holders.
Note: these holders are intended for loose cards and are not storage boxes for already graded PSA, BGS, CGC or SGC slabs.
Semi-rigid design
Unlike a fully hard toploader, this CardSafe holder has a semi-rigid construction. This combines support with enough flexibility to practically insert and remove cards.
Ideal for:
- Protecting TCG cards
- Preparing cards for grading
- Shipping valuable trading cards
- Storing loose collectible cards
- Selling and shipping cards
- Organising a card collection
Extra protection for your collection
Loose cards can easily be damaged by movement, pressure or contact with other objects. By first placing a card in a suitable soft sleeve and then in a DrPhone CardSafe Semi-Rigid Holder, you create an extra protective layer around the card.
This makes the holders interesting for both beginner collectors and experienced collectors who regularly buy, sell, trade or send cards.
Suitable for various TCG and collectible cards
The CardSafe semi-rigid holders can be used for various types of standard collectible cards, including:
- Pokémon TCG
- One Piece Card Game
- Dragon Ball cards
- Sports cards
- Football cards
- Basketball cards
- Baseball cards
- Other TCG and trading cards
Always check before use whether the dimensions and thickness of your card are suitable for the holder.
Choice of 25 or 50 pieces
Depending on the chosen version, you will receive a pack with 25 or 50 semi-rigid card holders.
The 25-pack is practical if you want to protect a smaller selection of valuable cards. For larger collections, frequent sales or multiple grading submissions, the pack of 50 pieces is a more economical choice.
Lightweight plastic construction
The holders are made of plastic and designed to provide extra support to cards without becoming unnecessarily heavy or large.
This makes them practical for both long-term storage and sending cards.
Compact storage
The packaging has a compact size of approximately 13 × 9 × 4 cm, allowing multiple holders to be easily stored in a cupboard, drawer, shipping area or with your other card collecting accessories.

Frequently asked questions
What is a semi-rigid card holder?
A semi-rigid card holder is a plastic card holder that is firmer than a normal sleeve but more flexible than a fully hard toploader. This provides the card with extra support during storage and transport.
Can I use these for PSA grading?
The holders can be used to protect cards you want to prepare for shipping to grading companies such as PSA. Always check the current packaging requirements of the relevant grading company before shipping.
Are these holders suitable for BGS, CGC and SGC?
They can be used to protect and prepare cards sent to, among others, BGS, CGC and SGC. This does not mean the holders are officially certified or approved by these companies.
Are they suitable for Pokémon cards?
Yes, provided the card dimensions fit within the holder size. They are also suitable for many other standard TCG and collectible cards.
Should I use a penny sleeve first?
For extra protection, it is recommended to first place the card in a suitable soft card sleeve and then in the semi-rigid holder. This reduces direct contact between the card and the card holder.
What is the difference with a toploader?
A toploader is generally harder and thicker. A semi-rigid holder is thinner and somewhat flexible, making this type of holder widely used when preparing and sending cards for grading.
