About Us
We are stunned to announce that 2025 marks our 40th year in business! We are a two time, Inc. 500 company having been honored in both 1991 (#208) and 1992 (#74) as one of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies. However, we remain a family owned company by the original founder, Jack Mayes.
What started as a part time mail order sports card business, run out of a dorm room at the University of California, Irvine has transformed into the #1 brand of trading card protection and storage. We are loyal and quality conscious - we still use the same factories that we did in the 1980's. Even more important to us is our loyal customers. We still have many of the same customers that we had in the 80's and 90's.
Our customer list is a Who's Who of the trading card industry. We sell to brick and mortar stores, show dealers, and every major auction house including eBay, SCP, Goldin, Memory Lane, Robert Edward, Huggins & Scott, and Lelands, just to name a few!. We have supplied PSA/PSA-DNA with a variety of card holders (including the famous Card Saver 1) since they started grading cards in 1991. Sports Card Guaranty (SGC) is a long time customer. So is CGC!
Our primary customers are Box/Case breakers. Nearly all of them - big, medium, and small! We also focus on retailers - both brick and mortar and show dealers.
We offer the same guarantee to every single Cardboard Gold customer: VALUE. Real value is superior quality at an excellent price!
WE SELL DIRECT! Our sales model has not changed in 40 years. Our quantity discount prices are comparable to other brands master distributor prices. And NO ONE beats our consistent quality!
