This month we discuss Premium Card Sleeves from Ultra Pro.Card Sleeves are a heavy gauge poly-bag that is slightly larger than a footy card.

The sleeve protects your cards from scratches and other surface damage to maintain the card in mint condition.

Card sleeves are really useful for at least two reasons:

Firstly, they are extremely affordable at just $2.95 for a packet of 100 sleeves, but even better is the fact that they fit inside Ultra Pro Top Loaders for even more protection.

Another reason Card Sleeves are great for collectors is that they are crystal clear and allow you to see both the front and back of your card, maintaining maximum visibility.

Like all Ultra Pro accessories, Card Sleeves are acid free and contain absolutely no PVC, which as I keep telling you is important for collectors because it means your cards will be protected for many years to come.

Beware of imitations, and trust in the Ultra Pro brand.

This month we talk about the Four Screw Screwdown from Ultra Pro.

One of the simplest and easiest products to use, the Four Screw Screwdown is available for just $2.45 each (less than the price of a team set) and you can protect your favourite cards FOREVER!

They are made of a clear rigid-plastic and have four small screws holding the 2 pieces (front and back) together.

The Four Screw Screwdown has a recessed area to fit the card so that the card isn’t squashed between the two pieces of plastic — instead it merely sits between the two halves in the recessed area.

The Four Screw Screwdown makes it virtually impossible for your card to be creased or folded, and it protects the sides and corners from damage.

Being clear they still allow you to view both the front and back of your footy card so you retain maximum visibility — so you can show your friends.

The screwdown is acid free and contain absolutely no PVC, which is important for collectors because it means your cards will be protected for many many years to come.

Acid and PVC can leach into your cards, making them fade, stick to the plastic and be quickly destroyed.

Beware of cheap imitations, and trust in the Ultra Pro brand.

A lot of people take pride in their football card collection and it’s nice when you can show them off to friends and other colleagues.

You can show off your favourite cards with special presentation frames from Ultra-Pro that sit neatly on a desk or shelf to display your prized possessions.

I’m talking about Ultra-Pro’s Lucite Holders.

Lucite is a lot like perspex, and these holders are specially made to display football cards… but they are so rigid they will also keep the card safe from damage while on display.

Available in either Vertical or Horizontal — they are a fantastic display option for any card collector.

Learn more about the Vertical Lucite Holder by clicking this link.

Learn more about the Horizontal Lucite Holder by clicking here.

We have limited stock available of each type, so if you want just get online and order them… and watch as your friends and family take a whole new interest in your collection.

This month we take a look at not just one, but four ways of protecting your footy cards…

This month the protection method is also a fantastic way to display your collection… we’re talking about Ultra Pro Card Holders.

“So what?” I hear you say… “card holder doesn’t sound that special.”

Let me explain a little… because its simplicity is what makes it so special.

These card holders; available as 2, 3, 4 or 9 card holders, look so good because of the bold black outline around each card.

Punctuating the bold black outlines are the striking gold coloured screws which add a touch of class.

The Card Holders are made of 2 pieces of clear rigid-plastic held together with the gold coloured screws.

They have a recessed area to hold and protect your cards from being creased or folded, and it also protects the sides and corners from damage.

Being clear (except for the bold black outlines) they still allow you to view both sides of your cards so you retain maximum visibility.

For me, these card holders are the perfect way to show off your favourite cards, or some of your Signature Redemption cards.

There are a number of ways to protect your cards from damage. One popular method is to use a screw down card holder.

Like all of the best protection methods these are from Ultra Pro and they are popular because they do such an excellent job of protecting your valuable cards.

From as little as $2.50 per screw down they are an excellent item to have in your collection.

They are made of a clear rigid-plastic and have either one or up to four small screws holding the 2 piece holder together. Most screw downs have a recessed area to fit the card so that the card isn’t squashed between the two pieces of plastic — instead it merely sits between the two halves in the recessed area.

The screwdowns make it virtually impossible for your card to be creased or folded, and it protects the sides and corners from damage. Being clear they still allow you to view both sides of your card so you retain maximum visibility.

The screw downs are acid free and contain absolutely no PVC, which is important for collectors because it means your cards will be protected for many years to come.

Acid and PVC can leach into your cards, making them fade, stick to the page and be quickly destroyed. Beware of cheap imitations, and trust in the Ultra Pro brand.

Once you’ve got your cards — particularly your more valuable cards you’ll probably want to keep them in good condition.

One of the most popular ways to protect your cards is to use Top Loaders. The best kind of Top Loaders are made by Ultra Pro.

Top Loaders are made from a clear semi-rigid plastic and they are especially made for trading cards. By semi-rigid I mean they bend — but only a little. Being clear they still allow you to view both sides of your card.

One card fits in a single Top Loader.

They are popular because rather than letting your little brother, the family dog or your own oily fingertips damage the card, the Top Loader keeps the card safe.

The semi-rigid Top Loader also makes it less likely that your card will be creased or folded, and it protects the sides and corners from damage.

Best used in conjunction with a Platinum Card Sleeve (a small plastic sleeve that covers the card before you insert it into the Top Loader), Top Loaders are a MUST HAVE item for your more valuable cards.

With the release this week of the Invincible Series many of you will be getting your base set together and looking for the best way to store your cards.

The most popular method by far are the 9 Pocket Pages from Ultra Pro which slot right into the official folders from Select.

The Platinum Series pages are easily distinguishable from cheap imitations because they display the distinctive Ultra Pro Hologram in the top left hand corner.

The 9 Pocket Pages are acid free and contain absolutely no PVC, which is important for collectors because it means your cards will be protected for many years to come.

Acid and PVC can leach into your cards, making them fade, stick to the page and be quickly destroyed. Beware of cheap imitations, and trust in the Ultra Pro brand.

The high clarity heavy gauge polypropylene makes for super strong pockets with solid seams and each page lays flat so your cards will stay in first class condition.

Best of all, with the 9 Pocket Pages from Ultra Pro you can still enjoy flipping through your collection without the need to worry about damaging your cards, and that’s always a good thing.
