Frequently Asked Questions
What does PT mean for toploaders?
PT stands for "point" and measures the thickness of the card a toploader can hold. A standard trading card fits a 35PT toploader. Thicker cards like relics or patches may need 55PT, 75PT, 100PT, or higher.
Do Card Shellz toploaders really block UV rays?
Yes. Our Premium UV Shield Toploaders are lab-tested to block 99.99% of harmful UV rays. This prevents fading and discoloration during long-term display — something standard toploaders from Ultra Pro and BCW don't offer.
Are these toploaders compatible with penny sleeves?
Absolutely. Our toploaders are designed to fit standard 2.5" × 3.5" penny sleeves inside. We recommend using our Easy Glide Penny Sleeves with the patent-pending pre-cut corner for the smoothest loading experience.
