Dragon Shield & Beckett Send First Sleeved TCG Card To the Edge of Space

Rare Beckett Black Label TCG Card to Go to Auction in Support of The Toy Foundation

AARHUS, Denmark and PLANO, Texas, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dragon Shield, a global leader in premium trading card game accessories, and Beckett, the premier grading and authentication company for trading cards and collectibles, have made history by sending the first sleeved TCG card to the edge of space, proving the protection and durability of Dragon Shield sleeves is truly out of this world.

In collaboration with Sent Into Space, a rare Beckett Black Label Pokémon card was launched to the edge of space protected by three layers of Dragon Shield sleeves: a Sealable Perfect Fit Inner Sleeve, a Matte Dual Art Sleeve, and an Outer Sleeve. The sleeved card was exposed to extreme conditions including rain, wind, and freezing temperatures (-70 °C / -94 °F) on a journey that lasted approximately 180 minutes from takeoff to touch down.

After landing, the card was resubmitted to Beckett for grading, and it was determined that the card maintained its pristine Black Label status.

"If Dragon Shield can protect cards in space, imagine what it can do for collections at home," said Kevin Isaacson, CEO of Collēctīvus Holdings. "Collectors invest thousands of dollars in their cards and this demonstrated that Dragon Shield sleeves have what it takes to keep collections pristine. Having the opportunity to support The Toy Foundation through this mission makes it even more meaningful."

This rare Beckett Black Label Pokémon card will be auctioned off for charity through Heritage Auctions with all proceeds benefitting The Toy Foundation™. The auction will run November 12-19, 2025 — visit here for more information.

To celebrate, a limited quantity of special edition Dragon Shield "Dragons in Space" Matte Dual Art Sleeves—the same uniquely designed sleeve used for the journey to the edge of space—will be available for purchase starting today at 9AM ET, exclusively on www.DragonShield.com.
