The advantage of using a magnetic card holder is that it is very easy to place the card inside without accidentally damaging the card. Also most magnetic card holders are designed with recessed corners to ensure that the card’s corners will not be damaged. Magnetic card holders are a great choice for your more valuable trading cards.
