Abstract: A trading card holder constructed from semi rigid, or rigid, clear material is used to protect valuable trading cards from wear. In one embodiment, the trading card holder includes a back plate and a plurality of cover plates. The cards to be displayed by the holder are sandwiched between the cover plate and the back plate thereby rendering them immovable. In a second embodiment the card display holder includes a single back plate and a single cover plate. The two plates are connected by way of a hinge member which allows the two plates to be separated for removing or installing cards into the holder system. A plurality of holes or Velcro strips are fitted along one edge of the card holder thereby allowing multiple card holders to be inserted into a binder system.
