A slab protects the card. Nobody was protecting the slab.
We collect graded Pokémon cards ourselves. After a while our slabs no longer looked like the day they came back from PSA. Knocked off the desk, slid around in a box, passed from hand to hand at a fair. The card inside was fine, the slab was not.
So we made the Guard. A flexible TPU frame with a raised edge on all four sides, an open front and a clear acrylic back. Knocks land on the Guard instead of on the corners of your slab, and the label, the grade and the card stay in full view.
Why it looks the way it does
- Open front. The card is the point, so nothing sits in front of it.
- Clear back. The cert number and QR code stay readable.
- Colours. A PC is more fun when it is not all grey. Seven colours stay in stock, four are limited runs of 10 each.
