Protecting collectibles: Everything you need to know
Collecting playing cards, figures, comics and manga is hugely popular. And of course, rare first editions of comic books, graded Magic: The Gathering cards or expensive action figures not only need to be purchased, but also protected and presented accordingly - ideally both!
A great deal of attention should be paid to accessories for protection when storing comics and manga, for example. High-quality protective bags for comics and manga are essential to protect the books from wear, scratches, and torn pages. With the help of backing boards, you can also ensure that your comics and manga do not crease, while comic book dividers help to keep your collection tidy.
Anyone who collects figures is probably looking for a way to present them in an appropriate way, as well as keeping them safe and tidy. Here, too, there are a wide range of options for protecting and displaying your treasures, from blister cases and stands for action figures to protective covers for Funko POP!™ figures.
As outlined above, Ultimate Guard is at your side when it comes to protecting your collectibles, as well as, of course, safeguarding your trading cards with its numerous protective sleeves and cases.
Ultimate Guard has a variety of products in its range to help you protect and/or present your collectibles, for example sleeves and cases for trading cards, and protective bags and other accessories for comics and manga. You can also find storage options for action or Funko POP!™ figures.
Because your collectibles mean something to you and you don't want them to break! Wear and tear and other damage - whether to trading cards, comics, or figures - also quickly have a negative impact on the value of collectibles, which are often not exactly cheap.
Comics and manga can be protected in a couple of ways. Firstly, with protective covers (also known as comic bags and manga bags), in which you can store the booklets and, ideally, even seal them. Secondly, there are backing boards that you can use to stabilize comics and mangas during storage so that they don't get creased.
For the popular Funko POP!™ figures, there are protective cases made of particularly transparent PET that serve as small display cases. However, these are of course also suitable for other figures, just like our blister cases. The Magnetic Card Case and the matching Slider Stand are just right for anyone who wants to display trading cards in a protected way.
