Deck Protectors/Display Box Option

Unread post by james001a »

Haven't seen these before, but they seem perfect for my collection, maybe for yours too. These deck protectors might be a perfect value option for displaying/protecting/everyday carry for your decks. Crystal clear, acid free and and come in 2 sizes, a snug fit and a slightly roomier "Xtra" fit for larger decks. Less than $2 each, with discounts for larger purchases. What do you think?

Idk. $2/ea? Maybe it's worth it for protecting big-money decks that're opened.

In Portugal they cost 1,70€ so I think $2 is more or less the same price.

I have a few that I use to store old decks that don't have a box.

I was figuring using these for my decks that are worth between $10-30 each. Less than $10 doesn't need one, and the ones that are over $30 I think belong in an acrylic case. But these will fill the void that I have been having a hard time filling for the past 5 years. I am going to need about 400-800 of them though.

Guess I am late to the game as I planned to release something exactly like these in a month or so...will be retailing for a similar price, but will only offer one size that fits all manufacturers decks, USPCC, EPCC/LPCC and Cartamundi :D

You didn't include a Lotrek sized one. Or is that a custom order? :D

Lotrek’s decks deserve the best and that is why there is a Carat XLE (Lotrek Edition)! ;) :lol:

Lotrek's decks fits perfectly into the XTRA SIZE deck protectors here (BTW I know this isn't a Lotrek deck, but it is similar in size)

The ones being sold in Portugal can't hold the Inverted Inferno or the Grotesque Signature.
Those two aren't the same size as the Kalevala

The gaff bicycle decks from Tuttomagia here in Italy all come with them. I never thought of using them for other decks, although for ‘displaying’ I’d want something a bit more elegant. Could be useful for protecting decks a bit if you stick a bag of silica gel in with them though.

Looks like they are on sale this week. The price dropped by 10% so they work out to be $1.80 each. Not bad.
