A graded sports card is a small piece of plastic with a public price. It fits in a jacket. The raw card next to it creases as soon as someone pulls it from the sleeve. In the overview [Security for collectors](/artikel/sicherheit-fuer-sammler) cards sit with what is liquid, even if the German radar does not yet call them by name.

## How they leave

What is documented in recent years is above all shops, not living rooms. For your house the physics still holds: a binder of slabs is loot that anyone who reads the surface knows. If you photograph the top pieces and post the room or the city with them, you hand over the address sketch at the same time. The list stays with you.

## What time does to them

Raw cards warp in damp and bleach in light. Slabs protect the corner and not against a fire. A safe that stays hot long after a fire warps the plastic. You store dry, dark, upright, or so that the capsule does not bear on the corner, and you do not put a card loose under books.

## Where they go

The expensive tier into the anchored safe. The mass of duplicates can sit in an inconspicuous box whose loss you can bear. Certificates and the grades from the grading firms belong on the list with the certificate number. The number is the proof, not a post under your name.

## The papers

Purchase receipt, certificate number, a photo of your own of the capsule. Digitally somewhere other than the home. The policy needs the lines once the sum falls out of the flat limit.

## Häufige Fragen

### Do sports cards show up in EinbruchsRadar?

Not in the local snapshot through August 2026 as loot of their own. The physics is still that of a small, known thing.

### Does the capsule protect against theft?

It protects the corner. It is easier to carry off than an album from earlier, because the price is on the holder.

### May I show the collection online?

The card, yes. The home, the quantity, and the city with it, no.
