MagPro Cases - Option/Alternative to Grading

[inaka]

Hey all,

I saw messier2's "Grade or Keep it Raw?" post/poll where the consensus was to keep certain cards raw that are not worth grading. I totally agree and I too have a bunch of cards that don't make sense to grade (or grading companies won't grade them.)

For my PC cards that don't make sense to grade, I used to keep them in a one-touch, and then I designed custom sticker labels ordered online to give them an elevated "set" look even when raw in a one-touch. Here's a Matt Stairs sample:





These worked great, but when stored with my graded cards they kind of get lost/hidden since they're smaller and don't have a label.

I might be out of the loop, but haven't seen much talk about MagPro magnetic cases, and just wanted to bring them up since I didn't hear much about them and really like them. They are about $3-$4 each, and seem to be a great in-between for those cards that aren't quite worthy of grading, but you don't want to stick them in a binder or one-touch. Or if you're kind of OCD and want more of a graded slab like look that is easily swap-out-able.

MagPro Cases are kind of like if a one-touch and a graded slab had a love child.

I recently designed some retro 70s super graphic style custom labels for my PC that I print/cut at home on my inkjet printer to fit into the MagPro cases and I'm pretty blown away at how nice hey look. Here are a few examples:

Same card in a MagPro:


Invaders card:


Dave Stewart Front:


Dave Stewart Back:


Stabler Auto in EX condition (not worth grading):


I saw that company offers custom labels you can order from them, but they can't put trademarked team logos on them, so that's understandable, but a bummer.

Is anyone else using the MagPro cases?

I didn't hear anything at all about these cases before I took the gamble on a 5-pack, but I'm really happy with them.

Just throwing this out there as another option along with one-touches when keeping it raw for that cards not quite required for grading.
