Best Cases For PSA & CGC Graded Cards
Whether you're storing your graded card collection at home, driving to a regional show, or flying to a national convention, a graded card case is what stands between your trading and sports cards and the trip.
Since 1985, Production Case has been in the hard case business, and we're a Canadian family-owned authorized distributor of Pelican, NANUK and SKB.
The baseball, basketball, football or trading graded card cases below cover most collectors' needs. Here's how they differ and who each is for.
NANUK 908 Graded Card Case
Desktop storage only works if the case opens easily ten times a day. The 908's PowerClaw latches release with one hand, and the integrated lid stay holds it open while you pull a PSA card.
The 9.5" x 7.5" x 7.5" interior keeps a personal collection within arm's reach, and at 3.6 pounds empty, it moves from shelf to table without effort. Order it with cubed foam for moulded pockets, or padded dividers if you'd rather reconfigure the layout later.
Plus, the IP67 waterproof rating is critical for a small, high-value collection that deserves nothing but the best protection from the elements.
NANUK 908 CasePelican 1450 Graded Card Case
For a medium-sized PSA graded card collection that mostly stays put, the 1450 is the best pick. Its 14.66" x 10.24" x 6.12" interior gives you real depth for stacked CGC slabs or a divider layout, and the case is watertight with an O-ring seal, crushproof and dustproof.
The automatic pressure equalization valve matters more than collectors expect: it balances the case after pressure and temperature swings, so the lid still opens easily.
Pick N' Pluck foam and padded dividers are both available.
Pelican 1450
NANUK 935 Graded Card Case
Show days are long, but the walk from the car is longer. The 935 rolls on polyurethane wheels with sealed stainless steel bearings, and the two-stage retractable handle sets to 32" or 38" so you're not stooping across a parking lot or convention hall.
The 20.5" x 11.3" x 7.5" interior carries a table's worth of inventory in a single trip. It’s also MIL-SPEC certified for at least 100 airline trips and IP67 rated for water protection.
The PowerClaw latches with integrated slide locks and padlock hasps keep inventory secure between the car and the table. Like every NANUK, it's made in Canada.
Nanuk 935Pelican 1535 Air Graded Card Case
When the airline weighs your carry-on, every pound of case is a pound of grades PSA cards you can't bring. The 1535 Air is part of Pelican's lighter Air series at 8.69 lb empty, inside a 21.96 x 13.97 x 8.98" exterior that plays nice with common carry-on size limits.
It's IP67-rated, rolls on quiet bearing wheels, and its organization options range from pluck foam to padded dividers to the TrekPak divider system.
Cabin limits on regional and international routes commonly run 7 kg to 10 kg. With the 1535’s empty weight on a 7 kg allowance, that leaves you roughly 3 kg for slabs. Confirm the allowance with your airline, since weight limits can vary.

Best Graded Card Case Brands
Pelican Cases
Pelican is one of the most recognized names in protective cases worldwide, and its waterproof, crushproof designs turn up in law enforcement, aerospace, filmmaking and medical work.
For graded card collectors, the appeal is the lifetime guarantee and the range of sizes so that you can match the PSA slab case to the collection instead of the other way around.
Nanuk Cases
NANUK is made in Canada, which is a large part of why Canadian collectors reach for it. The cases are built from NK-7 resin, use the PowerClaw latching system, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
NANUK also publishes its testing, including MIL-SPEC certification for a minimum of 100 airline trips along with ATA Specification 300 Category 1 impact testing.
SKB Cases
SKB rounds out the line-up. The iSeries cases are injection moulded, waterproof, and built to military-grade standards, and they're made in the USA. They’re worth comparing if you want a third option on sizing or layout.
