A card slab case for protecting graded card slabs while still facilitating the visibility of the trading card and the grade card is provided. The card slab case has separable front and rear case portions, each with an outer border, one outer border having a recessed groove and the other outer border having a raised lip. As a result, when two card slab cases coextensively interface, the groove and complementary lip operatively nest, thereby enabling a stacked configuration preventing the two adjacent card slab cases from sliding relative to each other.
