GradedGuard®

As a collector of Trading Card Games (TCG) like Pokémon, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, or Star Wars, you know how important the condition of your cards is. You've had your absolute masterpieces graded by institutions like PSA, BGS, or CGC for a reason. While such a plastic slab excellently preserves a card, the slab itself is unfortunately quite susceptible to scratches, dullness, or cracks if dropped. GradedGuard offers the perfect solution for this. With these high-quality bumpers, you give your slabs an extra layer of protection and a unique, personal look.

What is a GradedGuard case and how does it work?

A GradedGuard is a specially designed protective case that you simply click around the outside of your graded slab — much like a sturdy, perfectly fitting cover for your smartphone. The cases are made from a durable combination of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and PC (polycarbonate). This provides a shock-resistant bumper that absorbs impact if a slab accidentally falls or bumps against something. Thanks to the raised edges on the front and back, the vulnerable plastic windows of the slab never rest directly on a hard surface, which drastically reduces the chance of unsightly surface scratches.

Why choose GradedGuard protection?

Adding a GradedGuard to your collection offers several practical benefits for both the preservation and presentation of your cards:

• Optimal drop protection: The corners and edges of a slab are the most vulnerable. The impact-resistant corners of the TPU bumper absorb the impact in case of a fall, keeping the slab itself scratch- and break-free.
• Match the colors with your cards: GradedGuard is known for a wide range of colors. Whether you choose the popular, transparent Jewel series, a sleek Matte or Metallic finish, or a Limited Edition; you can perfectly match the color of the bumper to the artwork or type of the card (such as a red guard for a Charizard).
• Perfectly stackable and extra grip: Slabs can be slippery and quickly slide off when stacked. GradedGuards are designed so that the edges fit seamlessly into each other. This allows you to safely and stably stack your graded cards. Additionally, the case feels comfortable and non-slip in hand while admiring or showcasing your collection.
• Scratch prevention with FlexFilm: In addition to the bumpers, you can equip the slabs with scratch-resistant and UV-protective film (FlexFilm). This protects the central window from the harmful effects of sunlight and fine hairline scratches.

Perfect fit for PSA, BGS, and CGC

No two slabs are alike. A common mistake is buying a universal protector, which causes the card to shift. GradedGuard makes specific cases that are precisely cut to size for the world's most popular grading companies. The PSA variant fits seamlessly onto standard PSA slabs, while the BGS and CGC versions account for the specific thickness and corners of those particular slabs. Therefore, when ordering, always pay close attention to which guard fits your grading company.
