An apparatus for storing collectibles is disclosed. The apparatus is particularly useful for storing collectible packs of cards that are commonly sold as “booster packs” for larger decks. The apparatus has multiple rails which support the booster pack without crimping or damaging the flaps at the top and bottom of the pack. As the pack is supported by the flaps and not by friction of the body of the pack itself, the apparatus can have a larger internal space to accommodate a variety of sizes of packs having similar flaps.

A computerized system, apparatus, and method of grading collectibles. The system comprises a grading apparatus that receives at least one image of the collectible. The grading apparatus applies at least one processing routine to said at least one image. The grading apparatus generates a grade report of the collectible based at least on results of the at least one processing routine. The system comprises an encasing apparatus configured to encase the graded collectible within a protective slab.

The present disclosure relates to a resilient protective case for mobile devices having shock resistant properties and a fully integrated card holder for storing one or more cards and a finger strap for securing the encased phone to a user's finger while talking on the phone or taking “selfies”. In particular, the protective case includes a back support member disposed on the unitary body, an outer frame member disposed along an outer portion of the back support member, a card holder formed along a portion of the back support member, and a finger strap coupling a first end portion of the card holder to a second end portion of the card holder.

An end cap, a collectible card protective assembly, and a storage system generally comprise a cover sized to extend over and close the open end of a collectible card holder, and an engagement member configured to engage the collectible card holder and releasably secure the cover to the collectible card holder. The end cap prevents removal of the collectible card from the pocket when the cover is secured to the collectible card holder by the engagement member.

A wallet assembly that receives a contactless payment card includes a wallet arranged as at least a bifold wallet with first and second wallet sides, one side configured to receive the contactless card and the other configured to receive additional items and payment cards. RFID shielding eliminates electromagnetic signals from the additional payment cards. A flap attached to the wallet side holding the contactless card has a hole or window that physically exposes a portion of the payment card.

Improved protective cases for protecting collectibles and methods of use in an effort to reduce a likelihood of fraud. Identifiers can be provided directly onto collectibles, possibly not visible under normal lighting conditions, so that one may be able to identify if the collectible has been relocated to a different case with a different grade. Booklet and landscape cards can be displayed parallel to labels with certain embodiments.

The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.
