Card saver size guide
Semi-rigid card holders, also called card savers, are flexible clear holders that are stiffer than a penny sleeve and thinner than a toploader. Ours measure 84 × 124 mm and fit one standard 2.5" × 3.5" card (Pokémon, MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, sports) in a penny sleeve. They are made of plasticizer-free, stearate-free, acid-free PVC and come in packs of 50 or 200.
Card saver size and specs
| Holder size | Fits | Material | Pack sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 84 × 124 mm (3 5/16" × 4 7/8") | Standard 2.5" × 3.5" card in a penny sleeve | Clear PVC, plasticizer-free, stearate-free, acid-free | 50 or 200 |
They are not made for thick relic or patch cards, graded slabs, or a snug fit on Japanese-size cards.
How to pack cards for grading
- Put the card in a clear penny sleeve. PSA says to avoid solid or opaque sleeves.
- Slide the sleeved card into the card saver, top edge first.
- Do not add tape, pull tabs or sticky notes. PSA says not to use them.
- Stack the holders in submission-form order, place the stack between two pieces of cardboard and secure it with 2–3 rubber bands.
- Wrap the stack, box it with your submission form, and follow the grader's current packing rules. For PSA, see the PSA shipping guide.
Our card savers meet PSA's size spec for standard trading cards (3 5/16" × 4 7/8"). PSA and CGC require semi-rigid holders for raw cards, and PSA says not to use toploaders. Grader rules change, so check the current page before every order. For step-by-step photos, read our semi-rigid card holder guide.
Card saver vs toploader vs magnetic holder
| Holder | Best for |
|---|---|
| Card saver (semi-rigid) | Grading submissions |
| Toploader | Storage and shipping |
| Magnetic holder | Display |
A card saver flexes slightly, so a grader can pull the sleeved card out without prying at a rigid opening, and it adds very little thickness to a submission box. A toploader is stiffer and stacks well in storage boxes, which is why it is the usual choice for keeping and shipping cards you are not sending to a grader. Compare every option in trading card holders, or find the right sleeve in card sleeves.
50 or 200 count?
The 50-count pack suits an occasional submission or a handful of cards you want to send together. The 200-count pack suits regular submitters, group submission organizers and card shops that prep cards for customers. If you plan to submit often, the larger pack keeps you from running short mid-order. Both are the same semi-rigid card holder, with a 1-year guarantee and 30-day returns.
Common questions about sizing, PSA and bulk orders are answered in the FAQ on this page.
