Trading card collections come in many forms. Some collectors focus on professionally graded slabs, while others prefer keeping their cards protected in One Touch magnetic card holders.
The holder protecting your card determines the type of display you need, which is why The Card Collective® offers dedicated display solutions for different collecting styles.
CardVault® represents our broader trading card display collection, while SlabVault® and MagVault® identify display ranges created for graded slabs and One Touch magnetic card holders.
Whether you collect Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, sports cards or other TCGs, this guide explains the difference between each range and which display is right for your collection.
What is CardVault®?
CardVault® by The Card Collective® is our broader collection of trading card display solutions, created for collectors who want to turn protected cards into part of their room, collection space or wall display.
The collection brings together display solutions for professionally graded trading card slabs and cards protected in magnetic holders.
A major part of CardVault® is our range of premium metal trading card display frames made from aluminium, available across multiple sizes and colour options depending on the selected configuration.
What is SlabVault®?
SlabVault® by The Card Collective® is our dedicated trading card display range for professionally graded slabs.
SlabVault® display options are available for major grading formats including:
- PSA
- CGC
- BGS
These displays are designed for collectors looking for a graded card display frame, PSA slab display case, Pokémon slab frame or graded trading card wall display.
SlabVault® is not limited to a single trading card game. Compatible graded cards can include Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, sports cards and other TCG collections.
Multiple display sizes allow collectors to showcase anything from an individual graded card to a much larger wall-mounted slab collection.
What is MagVault®?
MagVault® by The Card Collective® is our dedicated trading card display range for cards protected in One Touch magnetic card holders.
Many collectors prefer keeping ungraded cards inside magnetic holders while still being able to showcase them as part of a larger collection. MagVault® provides a dedicated display format for these protected cards.
The range is suitable for collectors searching for a One Touch display frame, magnetic card display case, magnetic trading card wall display or Pokémon card frame for One Touch holders.
MagVault® display frames are available across multiple sizes and colour options depending on the selected configuration.
SlabVault® vs MagVault®: What's the Difference?
The difference comes down to the holder protecting your trading card.
Choose SlabVault® if your cards are professionally graded and protected in slabs such as PSA, CGC or BGS.
Choose MagVault® if your cards are protected in compatible One Touch magnetic card holders.
Both ranges are designed to turn protected trading cards into organised wall displays, but each range is purpose-built around a different card holder format.
Premium Aluminium & Metal Trading Card Display Frames
The Card Collective® specialises in premium metal trading card display frames made from aluminium, providing collectors with a clean and modern alternative to traditional picture-frame styling.
Aluminium trading card frames work particularly well in collector rooms, gaming rooms, offices and larger trading card display walls where the collection itself becomes part of the room.
Depending on the selected size and configuration, aluminium frame colour options can include:
- Black
- Silver
- Gold
- Copper
Display sizes range from smaller arrangements through to large multi-card frames designed for substantial collections.
Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece & Sports Card Displays
SlabVault® and MagVault® are based around the holder protecting the card rather than being restricted to one particular trading card game.
This makes the ranges suitable for compatible cards from collections including:
- Pokémon
- Magic: The Gathering (MTG)
- Yu-Gi-Oh!
- One Piece Card Game
- Sports cards
- Other compatible trading cards and TCGs
For example, a collector with PSA graded Pokémon cards would choose an appropriate SlabVault® graded card display, while a collector displaying MTG cards protected in One Touch magnetic holders would look toward MagVault®.
Small Displays to Large Trading Card Collection Walls
Every collection is different, which is why The Card Collective® offers display options ranging from individual cards through to large multi-card wall displays.
Smaller frames can highlight favourite or particularly important cards, while larger displays allow multiple cards to be presented together as one coordinated collection.
Collectors can also combine multiple frames as their collection grows, creating a larger trading card display wall over time.
Which Trading Card Display Should You Choose?
Start by identifying the holder protecting your cards.

Whichever format suits your collection, the goal is the same: turning the cards you have collected into something you can enjoy as part of your space.
