Semi-Rigid Trading Card Holders - Grading Submission Sleeves

Semi-Rigid Trading Card Holders – Grading Submission Sleeves

Product Type: Unbranded semi-rigid trading card holders
Holder Size: Approximately 12.2 × 8.4 cm (measured external footprint)
Pack Options: 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 holders

Overview

Choose the quantity of semi-rigid trading card holders that fits your collecting routine. These clear, semi-rigid PVC holders give sleeved cards a structured outer layer for handling, organising and preparing a collection for grading. They provide more shape than a flexible sleeve while remaining slimmer and more flexible than a rigid 35pt toploader. For best results, place each card into a loose-fitting, non-PVC polypropylene (PP) penny sleeve before sliding the sleeved card into the outer holder.

Available in five pack sizes, this listing is designed to make the packaging clear before you buy. The 5-, 10- and 25-holder options are counted and repacked by The Collectors Emporium. The 50-holder option is one unopened original supplier pack; the 100-holder option consists of two original sealed packs of 50. You receive the selected quantity of empty holders only, without trading cards or display props.

Key Features

• 🃏 Semi-rigid PVC construction: A clear outer holder for sleeved trading cards, with a structured but flexible profile.
• 📐 Measured outer size: Each holder has an external footprint of approximately 12.2 × 8.4 cm (122 × 84 mm). This is not an internal pocket measurement.
• 🔢 Five pack sizes: Choose 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 holders rather than buying more than you need.
• 📦 Clearly identified repacked options: The 5-, 10- and 25-holder quantities are counted and repacked by TCE.

How to Prepare a Card for Grading

• Step 1: Place each card gently into a clear, standard-size soft penny sleeve. A loose-fitting sleeve is preferable to a tight perfect-fit inner sleeve when ease of removal matters. For a suitable protective inner layer, choose an acid-free, non-PVC polypropylene sleeve.
• Step 2: Slide the sleeved card carefully into one semi-rigid holder. The soft inner sleeve sits between the card surface and the PVC outer holder.
• Step 3: Before packing a grading submission, check the grading company's current holder-size and packing instructions. Avoid tape, pull tabs or adhesive labels on the card holder unless the grader specifically requests them.

Using Your Semi-Rigid Holders

PVC semi-rigid holders are designed to be used as an outer layer. For a simple two-layer setup, place your card in an acid-free, non-PVC polypropylene (PP) soft penny sleeve first, then insert the sleeved card into the holder. Soft inner sleeves are sold separately. The approximate 122 × 84 mm measurements are for the outside of the holder, not its inner pocket. If you are preparing a grading submission, check your chosen service's current holder-size requirements before sending.

Summary

This range keeps quantity and packaging straightforward: economical smaller TCE-prepared packs when you need a few, or sealed original supplier packs when you need 50 or 100. All five options use the same holder format and measured outer footprint.

Whether you're sorting individual cards, refreshing your storage supplies, or stocking up for a growing collection, these semi-rigid card holders deliver practical protection and convenient pack-size choice.
