How to Keep Your Yugioh Cards in Mint Condition

    Yugioh cards are just like any other sort of trading cards. They may lose their condition and value just like any baseball card, football card, hockey cards, Pokemon cards, etc. Protecting them from outside factors is very important to keep them in the same condition you bought them in. While this article is going to be short, I am going to try to put in as much good information as possible.
     The first thing on your agenda is going to be obtaining a large amount of "penny sleeves." These are cheap clear plastic sleeves you can buy in any card shop or on the Internet. They are generally very cheap, and buying a 100 or 500 pack shouldn't run you that much. These are going to be the first layer of defense for the yugioh card. Next, you are going to want to buy a box of top loaders. These are hard plastic cases you can also find at any card shop or online. They will protect your card from any bending, cracking, or moisture.
     Once you obtain these materials, it is time to put them to use. First you are going to want to put your card in the penny sleeve. be sure to use care and don't force the card into the plastic sleeve. Do this as gently as possible, without putting any pressure on one spot of the yugioh card. Then, you are going to slide the yugioh card already in the penny sleeve, into the hard plastic top loader. Once again, do this very gently.
     So there you go! As long as you leave the card in the sleeve and toploader, your card should remain in MINT condition. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid bending the toploader or stacking the cards too tightly. Even though the card is protected, it is not impervious to damage. Yugioh cards can be alot of fun, and possibly profitable. You just can never know the value of your yugioh cards in five or ten years. Good luck, and enjoy collecting yugioh cards!
