What is the magnetic display case that comes with a custom card?

The Snapshot TeamCustom trading card specialistsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

It is a one-touch magnetic display case, the rigid two-piece holder collectors use: the card sits in a recess, the lid closes on a magnet, and it stands on a shelf or desk. One is included with every Rookie Box for the card you want to show. It fits a standard 2.5" x 3.5" card; extras are $1.99 each.

Key takeaways

  1. A rigid, magnet-closing holder for one standard-size card.
  2. One is included with every Rookie Box; extras are $1.99 each.
  3. Opens and closes without tools, so you can swap the displayed card.
  4. A MEGA Card ships in a fitted sleeve instead, because it is 11" x 15.4".

What it is

A one-touch magnetic case is a hard, clear holder in two halves. The card drops into a recess in the base, the lid snaps shut on a magnet, and the sealed case protects the card from bending, scratches, and fingerprints while leaving it fully visible from both sides. It is the same style serious collectors use for cards they want to keep and show.

What is included

Every Rookie Box includes one magnetic case, whether the box holds one card or eighteen. With a multi-card box, choose the card that goes in it; the rest ship sleeved in the branded card box. Because the case opens without tools, you can rotate which card is displayed.

If you want a case for every card, add extras in the cart at $1.99 each. A magnetic case can also be its own purchase without a box.

What it fits

The case is sized for a standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading card of standard thickness, which is exactly what a Snapshot card is. It does not fit a MEGA Card; that product ships in a fitted protective sleeve made for its 11" x 15.4" size.

Care

Keep the case out of direct sun and away from heat, which protects the card as much as the plastic. Handle the card by its edges when swapping it, and store the case upright rather than in a leaning stack.

Questions

More questions

Is a case included with every card?

One case is included with every Rookie Box, not with every card. Extra cases are $1.99 each in the cart.

Can I open the case and change the card?

Yes. It closes with a magnet, not a seal, so it opens and closes by hand as often as you like.

Does a MEGA Card get a magnetic case?

No. A MEGA Card is 11" x 15.4" and ships in a fitted protective sleeve instead.

Can I buy a magnetic case on its own?

Yes. Cases can be added in the cart at $1.99 each, with or without a box in the order.
