Condition is everything
A card is only worth as much as its condition.
PSA, CGC and Beckett grade cards on centering, corners, edges and surface. Centering is decided at the printer. Corners, edges and surface are in your hands.
Corners
One drop or a slide across the table can be enough to soften or ding a corner.
Edges
Friction causes whitening: light wear along the edges, especially visible on the blue back of a Pokémon card.
Surface
Holos and full arts scratch easily, and on a glossy surface every scratch and fingerprint shows.
Humidity and light
Damp rooms can make cards curl, holos in particular. Direct sunlight fades colours.
Toploader binders
All your toploaders, in one binder.
Every toploader gets its own pocket, secured by a wraparound zip. Leather and suede exterior.

Why not just use a shoebox?
Rubber bands and loose stacks are quick, but that is exactly how cards get damaged.
| Topic | Rubber band, stack or loose box | Sleeved and toploaded |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | A rubber band dents corners and edges | Each card sits on its own in a sleeve and toploader |
| Scratches | Cards rub against each other | The sleeve protects the surface |
| Bending | A loose card bends easily | A rigid toploader keeps the card flat |
| Dust | An open box or stack collects dust | The toploader fits snugly, so little dust reaches the card |

Frequently asked questions
Which sleeve fits in a toploader?
A standard 3×4" toploader is made for a card in a thin, soft sleeve, often called a penny sleeve. Our Regular soft sleeves (67 × 92 mm) and Pull-Tab sleeves are made for exactly that. Double-sleeved cards usually won't fit in a standard toploader.
Regular or Perfect-Fit sleeves?
Regular soft sleeves (67 × 92 mm) leave a little room around the card, so it slides in and out easily. Perfect-Fit sleeves (64 × 89 mm) fit tightly around the card. Use them as an inner sleeve, for example under a second sleeve or inside a one-touch holder.
Toploader or semi-rigid?
A toploader is rigid and the standard choice for long-term storage. A semi-rigid card holder is slightly more flexible and the usual choice when submitting cards to a grading company such as PSA.
How much does shipping cost and how long does it take?
We aim to ship every order without pre-orders within 24 hours. In most cases you will receive a shipping confirmation with a tracking code within a few hours. Delivery usually takes 1–2 business days within the Netherlands and 2–5 business days within the EU.
Shipping costs depend on the weight, size and destination of your parcel. Prefer to pick up your order yourself? That's possible by appointment, just send us a WhatsApp message. You will find all details in our shipping policy.
Can I return my order?
You have 14 days to change your mind. The product must be unopened and in its original packaging, and return shipping is at your own cost. Did something arrive damaged? Email us your order number and photos. If it is covered by the warranty, we will replace it free of charge.
Does RubyGator offer discount codes?
We add new deals every week; you will find them on our Deals page.

We also work with a number of partners, who occasionally share discounts of their own.
