Toploader & Card Holder Size Guide
Not sure which toploader, magnetic holder or sleeve fits your card? Find your card's thickness below and shop the matching size. Card thickness is measured in points (pt). One point is one-thousandth of an inch, so a 35pt card is 0.035" thick.

Which sleeve do I need?
| Sleeve | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Penny sleeves | The first layer for almost every card. Slide the card into a penny sleeve before it goes into a toploader or card saver. Use thick-size penny sleeves for thicker cards. |
| Perfect fit sleeves | A snug inner sleeve that seals the card. Use it inside a magnetic holder, toploader or binder page for an extra layer of protection. |
| Team bags | Resealable bags that hold a toploadered card or a small stack of cards. Good for shipping and for keeping sets together. |
| Graded card bags | Resealable bags sized for PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs. Keeps slabs free of scratches and dust. |
Sending cards to PSA?
PSA asks for cards in a semi-rigid holder. Sleeve the card in a penny sleeve, then place it in a Card Saver 1. Thicker cards go in a larger Card Saver. When your cards are ready, use our PSA submission form.
How to measure a card
The easiest way is a digital caliper set to inches: multiply the reading by 1,000 to get points (0.035" = 35pt). Many relic and patch cards also list their thickness on the back or on the pack. If you can't measure, compare the card to a standard base card from the same set. If it looks twice as thick, start at 55pt to 75pt.
