There's lots of good choices when it comes to protecting individual cards out there but I was wondering if there was anything that could be used to hold and protect an unopened booster pack.

Some of the older boosters are really fragile and it would be a shame if the edges got frayed or ripped...

Is there anything like a toploader for boosters ?

Cheers,
Norm

I do believe they make 4 pocket binder pages you can put your unopened packs into. They would probably help protect them.

A good idea. I've started to look around for storage solutions for postcard/photos that may be adaptable to boosters.

I guess that my main worry here is that these kind of pages are made for single page items whereas a booster may be too thick and could easily fall out. Hmmm ... maybe they make such products with flaps that could be closed like mylar sleeves for comics ??

If you have a bunch you can just use an old booster box or use a small white box. If you want to display them in your home I would suggest maybe framing them.

Try your local sports card store, they make pretty wide top loaders for the really thick stock cards (180pt I believe is the largest)... Should be plenty thick enough for booster, just not sure if they would be long enough to cover 100% of the booster but worth a look either way. I think it's like 3-4 bucks for a pack of 20 or so, at least in my area.

Are there any binder pages that hold top loaders well? Was thinking about this for displaying sets of cards that you don't want people to destroy while looking through a binder.

As far as booster packs go, I just use empty booster boxes as suggested. If you wanted to display them you could probably make a plastic stand like they use for single card holders, I might give that a shot actually.
