Shop Card Shellz Protection by Category

Toploaders 

Our Toploader Essentials line provides reliable protection for everyday collecting. For those who demand more, our premium top loader line offers UV shielding, a seamless frame, and a thicker window for a sturdier feel and display-grade clarity. Both are made from durable, archival-safe materials to keep your sports cards, baseball cards, and Pokémon trading cards protected, flat, and ready for grading, display, or trade.

Toploader & PSA Slab Binders

Our premium Toploader and PSA Slab binders feature padded covers made from water-resistant, non-slip polyurethane leather. Inside, archival-safe, acid-free pages prevent scratches and discoloration, while a heavy-duty zipper keeps everything secure.

Choose the 112-top loader binder for bulk storage, or the 32-count PSA slab binder, which fits standard or thick jersey slabs. Durable, organized, and collector-driven, these binders are built to protect what matters.

Easy Glide Soft Sleeves – The First Line of Card Defense

Every collection starts with a penny sleeve, but not all sleeves are created equal. CardShellz Easy Glide soft sleeves are made from premium 50-micron, acid-free, archival-safe polypropylene and feature our patent-pending pre-cut corner—no more trimming sleeves yourself, no more dinged corners.

Our most popular standard size fits 2.5" x 3.5" trading cards up to 100PT thick, ideal for Topps, Donruss, Panini Prizm, and more. We also carry card sleeves for thick memorabilia, slim fit, 3x7 tickets, 4x6, 5x7, and precise-fit options for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and Yu-Gi-Oh. This is quality you can feel and protection you can trust.

Armalopes – The Better Way to Ship Cards

Stop risking your cards in plain white envelopes or paying too much for bulky parcels. Card Shellz Armalopes are lightweight, durable card protectors for shipping and designed specifically for eBay Standard Envelope service. They are built for collectors, dealers, and breakers who want safe and affordable options.

The lineup includes a single-pocket mailer, a double-pocket for multiple cards, a premium non-machinable mailer for added protection, and a parcel mailer sized for graded slabs. With glued frames to reduce sorter damage, easy-seal strips, tear-open tabs, and a 4x6 label fit, Armalopes keep shipping costs low while keeping your cards safe. Just Drop, Seal and Ship.

Card Shellz: Known by Many Names, Trusted by Collectors

Some call us Card Shellz (thanks, that’s the official one). Others say Cardshellz or CardShell. And we’ve even heard Shellz Cards and Card Shells. And of course, plenty of collectors simply say Shellz for short. However you spell it, you’re still getting the same premium toploaders, penny sleeves, card sleeves, and protectors trusted by collectors across the hobby. 

Spelling’s optional—protection is not.
