Our Verdict
DeckSentry is the better wholesale choice for UK retailers
Cardboard Gold is a respected premium brand, frequently PSA-recommended, with excellent clarity and a range of thicknesses. However, they're primarily US-based, meaning UK retailers face international shipping costs, longer lead times, and customs duties. DeckSentry ships from the UK, offers direct wholesale accounts, and provides acid-free archival materials with 99.9% crystal clarity — making it the superior wholesale partner for UK-based businesses.
