Storage & protection

Protect your BREAKthrough cards

This set has 4 cards worth $100+ — sleeve-and-toploader territory at minimum, and the chase cards deserve double-sleeving.

Penny sleeves (100ct)First layer

Every card worth more than bulk goes in a sleeve before anything else touches it.

eBay →
Dragon Shield Matte sleevesPremium sleeve

Rigid toploaders (25ct)Rigid protection

Sleeve + toploader is the minimum for anything you might grade or sell raw.

eBay →
Side-loading binder (360)Set storage
