Tips for Storing and Protecting Your Pokémon Card Collection

Once you’ve started building your Pokémon card collection, proper storage is key to preserving your cards’ condition and value.

Here are 5 essential storage tips:

  1. Use Penny Sleeves & Top Loaders: Protect your rare cards from scratches and bending.

  2. Store in Binders: Choose acid-free binders with side-loading pockets.

  3. Keep Cards Away from Moisture & Light: UV rays can fade your cards over time.

  4. Label and Organize by Set: Makes it easier to track progress and identify missing pieces.

  5. Avoid Overhandling: Oils from your fingers can cause long-term wear.

When you buy from TallyTCG, your cards are shipped with care, but once they arrive, it’s your job to keep them safe and mint!
