Card Savers have been the most popular semi-rigid trading card holders in the world since their debut at the 1987 National Sports Collectors Convention. They have become the go-to choice for collectors and dealers alike. If you're into sports cards, Pokémon cards, or Magic: The Gathering (MTG), you've probably heard of Card Savers. These holders have even been recommended by PSA, the big name in card grading, and most major PSA-authorized dealers.
Cardboard Gold, the creator of Card Savers, has sold more than 500 million trading card holders since their introduction. People love them because they're made from the highest grade and clearest plastic that keeps your cards safe and looking great.

Card Saver 1: The Gold Standard
Card Saver 1 is the most effective choice for safeguarding your prized sports trading cards. PSA and BGS specifically recommend Card Saver 1 for graded card submissions, underscoring its unmatched quality. Here's why Card Saver 1 is the top choice:
- Versatile : Protects standard sized and most oversized cards (including many sports cards dating back to 1952).
- Archival Safe: Made exclusively by Cardboard Gold for over 35 years, preserving your trading cards in the highest quality material. Manufactured with the highest clarity plastic.
- Convenient Packaging: Each individual pack contains 50 Card Saver 1's, sealed in 200ct red boxes, so it's easy to organize your cards.
- Compatibility: Great for Pokémon, baseball, football, and other sports cards.
The iconic red box of Card Saver 1 is the only card holder mentioned by name as a recommended way to submit cards to PSA for grading, ensuring unmatched quality and trust. Collectors love that these semi-rigid card holders are slightly oversized because it makes it easier to insert and remove cards.
Card Saver 2: Perfect for Standard-Sized Cards
Card Saver 2 is designed for standard-size trading and sports cards, providing industry-standard protection since 1989. Key features include:
- Perfect Fit: Measures 3" x 4" plus a 1/2" lip, ensuring a perfect fit for your collection. Unlike the Card Saver I, this model fits into a wider variety of deck boxes and storage containers.
- Trusted by Collectors and PSA Dealers: 35 years of experience, trusted for unparalleled clarity, material, and manufacturing quality.
- Versatile Compatibility: Ideal for baseball, football, and trading cards, ensuring your collection remains safe and secure.

Card Saver 2 is not for grading company submissions - Card Saver 1 is recommended for that purpose. However, it remains an excellent choice for standard-size card protection. These card holders have a snug fit and are a great choice for thin stock cards.
