How can I keep my cards in good condition?

Try to handle your trading cards as minimally as possible. When you do handle them, be sure to use clean hands and handle the card by carefully holding the edges. You may also consider keeping your card collection in a dry, temperature-controlled environment that is away from the sun. This will help prevent water damage from humidity and color fading from the sun. For more tips on keeping your trading cards in good condition, be sure to ask our team.
