1. Card Display Case

Starting off strong, if they don’t already have something nice to display their collection in, now is the perfect opportunity to gift them something to do so. To keep their cards in the best condition possible, PSA-graded or UV-filtered cases would be the best!

You can splurge on some PSA-graded cases, or Pottery Barn and Amazon have fantastic options, as well.

2. Card Sleeves

One of the biggest must-haves for card collectors is some card sleeves and top loaders. Collectors always want to have these on hand especially in case they pull a card they want to keep safe – and they can never have too many!

Online at Amazon or at your local hobby store you can find some good quality card sleeves

If they only have a few graded cards or some specialty ones that they want to put on display, some stand up displays are a perfect way to do so. Coming in all different shapes, sizes, and functionalities, standing displays work for every type of collector.

With Stand Up Displays, you can make customized stands or find a variety of basic stands.

6. Individual Cards

If you know there’s a card they’re on the hunt for, or one that they’re missing from their collection, then gifting a card is a great idea. If the card they want is going to be an investment, make sure you do your research to ensure the card is the real deal. Buying an already graded card would be your best bet or getting some help from a friend who knows about cards would be helpful if you’re not a long-time collector yourself.

7. Show Your Slabs Display

The Show your Slabs display is a brilliant design and way for collectors to flaunt their favorite graded treasures. Available in different sizes, they can hold anywhere between 9 to 25 cards, and they can be personalized with the collector’s name to make it extra special.
