Abstract: A protective card case is described. The case includes a front cover including a transparent viewing area. The case also includes a rear cover including a transparent viewing area. Further, the case includes a coupling mechanism configured for coupling the front cover with the rear cover. Further still the case includes a latching mechanism configured to selectively latch the front cover with the rear cover. The rear cover includes a planar recessed area for holding a card in place when the front cover and rear cover are coupled together by the coupling mechanism and latched with the latching mechanism. The front cover includes an aperture providing access to a portion of the card when front cover and rear cover are coupled together by the coupling mechanism and latched with the latching mechanism and the aperture is at least large enough for a person to apply an autograph to a portion of the front of the card.
