SGC Graded Card Sleeves?
 
What graded card sleeves fit standard SGC slabs? TIA

Superior Fit Sleeves.

I will not use another product on my top loaders or PSA/SGC slabs.

That said, they recently had to delay orders because the newly announced tariffs (Canadian company).

Their website says international orders have resumed, but I have not tested it yet.

Even if they had to raise prices by 50% and it takes an extra 2 weeks to ship, they will be worth it.

I've used these before and love the fit. BUT... Their website is currently not taking orders..... (Don beat me to it :) )

SuperiorFitSleeves

Side note - anyone know which sleeves fit GAI (Global Authentic) slabs best? PSA - too tight. SGC - too loose.

If they are still out there I like Shellz better. I have had Superior Fit ones that are slightly too small and really a struggle..

Still out there.

Get ready to pay significantly higher prices for all kinds of things.

Not to hijack this thread, but a few months back I purchased and received an SGC graded post card and it came in a oversized sleeve that both fit the slab perfectly and was also a stiffer material than the sleeves I normally use. Does anyone know brand it could be?

I don’t know the brand; however, it sounds like the material could be Mylar.

Call me a hater but I find the idea of graded card cases pretty absurd. Lol. How about cases for the cases too? :confused:

You and I collect pictures of dudes. There isn't any way of doing it that isn't absurd at the simplest level.

I would second the Superior Fit Sleeves.

I hope things work out for them shipping/tariff wise because they are my favorite company for buying sleeves.

I use the sleeves to protect the case from scratches. It's an OCD thing.

I use Cardboard Gold - Resealable Graded Card Bags...(not my ebay listing)

This is the answer. These fit perfectly, they are entirely unobtrusive, and look amazing. To the later comment "sleeves on sleeves!") I understand completely, but if graded cards are becoming the norm, then the quality and cleanliness of the scratchable plastic slab has to be thought about.

I greatly prefer Shellz over Superior Fit. I find the later are too snug and split at the seams at an unacceptable rate. Just my 2 cents.

How about a quick pic to show them in action?

Just bought a couple of packs of Shellz to house some of my SGC slabbed cards.
They are quite thin (which may or may not be a problem) and super tight fitting, which is nice and unobtrusive for displaying them - as they virtually disappear - but a bit tough when trying to remove and/or reinsert the card.

Very inexpensive, and that makes me happy, but make sure you have some nice dexterity to use them without accidentally tearing a side (as I have done way too many times). :eek:

Received my Shellz order and they were much nicer than expected.
