Handle by the edges
Hold cards by their edges, ideally with clean, dry hands. Fingerprints on chrome finishes are hard to remove.
Sleeve, then protect
A soft penny sleeve first, then a rigid top-loader or a magnetic holder for the cards you care about most.
Keep it cool and dry
Store boxes away from sunlight and damp. Big swings in humidity can curl cards.
