Protective Half Sleeves
During grading prep, collectors inspect, clean, and handle cards multiple times. Traditional full penny sleeves require sliding the card in and out, increasing the risk of surface scratches, corner wear, and accidental fingerprints.
Half sleeves are designed specifically to eliminate those risks.
By leaving one side open, half sleeves allow:
-
Direct access for cleaning and inspection
-
Less friction during insertion and removal
-
Reduced contact with card surfaces
For Pokémon cards, sports cards, and other trading cards, half sleeves provide the protection you need—without introducing unnecessary stress to the card.
-
Half sleeves are ideal for:
-
Pre-grading surface and corner inspection
-
Safe cleaning without repeated re-sleeving
-
Handling high-value cards before submission
-
Transitioning smoothly into semi-rigids or grading holders
When combined with archival-safe, non-PVC materials, half sleeves help ensure your card arrives at PSA in the same condition it left your collection.
