Maintenance (Card Care)

To preserve the condition and value of your trading cards, follow these guidelines:

• Handle with Care: Always handle cards by their edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges on the surface.
• Protective Sleeves: Place valuable or rare cards immediately into soft sleeves and then into rigid top-loaders or magnetic holders.
• Storage: Store cards in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Use acid-free storage boxes or binders designed for trading cards.
• Avoid Bending: Never bend or crease cards, as this can significantly reduce their condition and value.
