"Protection from the elements!"
Display gear for people who actually collect. The flagship is a lit carry chest for 16 graded slabs — every card visible, every unit illuminated, built by hand in Queensbury, New York.
Guarded by the Keeper, who has never let a single card out of his sight.
Every other slab case on the market is built so you don't see your collection — opaque shells, foam inserts, maybe a small window cut in the lid. This is the other product entirely.
Sixteen slabs stand on edge behind UV-filtering panels, lit from underneath by an LED plinth, with clear optical ends so the first and last card face out. It's a curated shelf you can pick up and carry to a show — a trophy case that travels.
Slab Shelter is the whole trading-card line, not one box. Same design language, same materials, same shop — sized for whatever you need held.
16 graded slabs, lit from beneath, clear optical ends, fold-flat carry bail. Seven colorways, numbered first run.
from $149
20 slabs in a storage format — same frame language, no lighting. The straightforward way to move a collection safely.
$69
A single slab in a shadow box with an engraved caption plate. For the one card that has a story attached to it.
from $40
Weighted and glare-aware, holds a slab steady and camera-facing. Built for live sellers tired of propping cards on a coffee mug.
from $20
Angled display stands for PSA, BGS, CGC and 35/55/130 pt toploaders. Swappable logo plate available.
from $8
A piece built around one specific card, one collection, one impossible shelf. Send a photo and we'll quote it honestly.
from $95
There is no stripped-down version. The LED plinth is the product — it's what makes sixteen cards read across a room. The ladder above the baseline is about material and permanence, not about adding back something that should have been there.

|---|---|---|
| Keyed closure | Steel cam lock with two keys, in place of the magnetic release | +$20 |
| Themed edition | A house design etched into the panel — cosmic, apothecary, memento mori, art deco, botanical, occult. Our artwork, our interpretation, rotating. | +$50 |
| Commission | You describe it, we design it and etch it — a collection, a player, a date, a name, a piece built around one grail card. | from $95 |
