What is the best way to protect an Illustration Rare card from damage?
To preserve the smooth textured surface and prevent edge whitening or surface scratches, you should immediately slide the card into a tight-fitting penny sleeve and then snap it into a rigid plastic top loader. Storing your single cards this way completely shields them from handling wear, air moisture, and minor drop impacts.
