Top loader, sealed pack or slab — which should you pick?

18 August 2026 · 3 min read

Top loader

The simplest and cheapest option. The card sits in a rigid protector with your chosen holographic sleeve. Great for posting inside a greetings card or slipping into a gift bag.

Resealed pack

Your card is placed into a genuine pack that is then resealed, so it looks like a factory-fresh booster until they pull your card out of it. This is the one that gets filmed and shared.

Graded-style slab

A collector-style case with a custom label — name, grade, edition and serial of your choosing. The most impressive on a shelf and the most popular for proposals, anniversaries and big birthdays.

  • Posting it in a card? Top loader.
  • Want the unboxing moment? Sealed pack.
  • Want it displayed forever? Slab.
