ZARGES Legacy Series
Some cards you don't gamble with.
Aluminum cases built on decades of protecting equipment that can't fail — now engineered for graded cards. Two models, four interiors.
Why aluminum
Your cards survived the hunt, the wait, and the grade. Most cases were built to a price — ours was built to a standard.
ZARGES has spent decades building aluminum cases for aerospace, military, and industrial use — jobs where the contents are irreplaceable and the case simply cannot fail.
Two models
The one you carry. The one you keep.
NOMAD travels with you. CURATOR lives with your collection and grows alongside it. Both stack together as one system.
NOMAD
Compact enough for a flight, built for the cards you never let out of your sight. Three handles plus D-rings for the optional leather shoulder strap, and dimensions sized for airline carry-on.
- Fits under the seat and through the show floor
- Shoulder-strap ready with integrated D-rings
CURATOR
Briefcase proportions, archive capacity. Built to sit on a shelf, stack into a wall, and roll to a convention on the optional caster system — up to 10 or 11 cases at once.
- Stacks securely into a modular archive
- Caster-compatible for moving a full stack
Finish the case.
Select any accessories to add to your order, or add them one at a time.
Leather Shoulder Strap
Clips to the NOMAD's D-rings for hands-free carrying.
Swivel Casters
Set of two, SKU 40742. Full manoeuvrability for a CURATOR stack.
Choose your interior
Slotted, or open
Precision slotted foam
Each slab seats in its own cut slot — no shift, no rattle, no rubbing in transit. Best for a graded collection you want organized and fixed in place.
open interior
Rows without fixed slots, so the case adapts as your collection changes — slabs one weekend, top loaders and One-Touches the next.
Capacity
How many cards each case holds
Graded slab capacity across the range, drawn to scale.
Open interiors also carry One-Touch magnetic holders and top loaders — up to 850 top loaders in the CURATOR Open Interior Edition.
Built to protect
Engineered like the gear it came from.
Aircraft aluminum
Lightweight but exceptionally durable, with a reinforced welded frame and aluminum corners that let cases stack securely.
Gasketed and hinged for life
A polyurethane lid gasket seals against dust and moisture, on a continuous stainless-steel hinge built for long-term use.
Three-handle system
A front or top handle for everyday carrying, plus dual side handles for two-handed lifting and moving several cases at once.
Built for Every Collector
Premium protection for every occasion
Modular
A system that grows
Legacy Series cases stack together on reinforced welded frames and aluminum corners. Clip on the caster set and the whole stack rolls — up to 10 CURATOR cases at once, turning a shelf of cases into a mobile archive for collectors, dealers, and studios.
