A binder protects a card from fingerprints. An Eylar® graded card case protects your collection from everything else: rain on the walk into a show, a trunk full of shifting gear, a dropped bag, a checked-airline conveyor. Every case on this page carries IP67 Waterproof, Dustproof and Shockproof protection, closes on lockable, TSA-approved hasps, and ships with customizable pluck-and-pull foam you can shape around slabs, one-touch holders, deck boxes, or coin capsules. Free US shipping, 30-day returns.

Why Collectors Use a Hard Case

  • IP67 waterproof and dustproof — a gasket-sealed shell keeps water, humidity swings, and grime away from raw cards and slab surfaces
  • Crushproof protection — a rigid polypropylene body shrugs off drops, stacking, and whatever lands on top of it in transit
  • Lockable, TSA-approved hasps — add padlocks for shows, hotel rooms, and checked baggage
  • Customizable pluck-and-pull foam — build rows for slabs, cavities for one-touches, or a channel for top-loaders and deck boxes
  • Pressure equalization valve — equalizes altitude changes so the case opens easily after a flight

How Many Graded Slabs Fit in Each Case?

The honest answer: it depends on how you cut the foam. The estimates below assume standard PSA-style slabs (about 3.31" x 5.44" x 0.35"), stored in the middle pluck-and-pull layer with foam ribs between rows and roughly half an inch of protective foam wall around the perimeter. Thicker BGS slabs and magnetic one-touch holders take more room, so plan on fewer.

Eylar three layer foam: convoluted top, pull and pluck cubed middle, bottom pad
The three-layer foam is the whole trick. The convoluted top layer presses down gently to hold rows in place, the pull-and-pluck cubed middle layer is where you build slab rows and one-touch cavities, and the solid bottom pad absorbs impacts. Store slabs on edge (like books) wherever depth allows — each slab gets its own foam slot, nothing rests its weight on a card, and you can pull one slab without unstacking ten.

Built for Shows, Trades, and Travel

Card shows are where collections get hurt: crowded aisles, stacked totes, coffee, weather between the parking lot and the table. A hard case rides under a show table without worry, locks shut when you step away, and meets TSA airline-checkable requirements when the show is a flight away. For coins, the same pluck-and-pull foam holds capsules, tubes, and slabbed coins just as securely — cut a snug cavity and nothing rattles.

Humidity tip: toss a small silica-gel pack in the case to tame humidity swings inside the sealed shell — especially for raw vintage cardboard that travels between climates.

Card & Collectibles Case FAQs

How many graded cards fit in a case?

As a rule of thumb with PSA-style slabs: 6–8 in the 8" case, about 12 in the 11.6" case, about 30 in the 13.37" case, 35+ in the 16" case, and around 70 in the 20" case. Your foam layout sets the final count — thicker BGS slabs and one-touch holders reduce it.

Are these cases waterproof?

Yes. Every case on this page carries IP67 Waterproof, Dustproof and Shockproof protection with a gasket-sealed lid and an automatic pressure equalization valve.

Can I fly with a case full of slabs?

Yes. The hasps accept padlocks and meet TSA requirements, so the case can be checked or carried on (airline size rules permitting). Store slabs on edge in foam so nothing shifts during handling.

Will one-touch holders and deck boxes fit?

Yes — that is what pluck-and-pull foam is for. Pull foam cubes to create cavities sized to magnetic one-touches, deck boxes, coin capsules, or anything else in your kit.
