Small Fast	-	Yes	Yes

Box Universal (Option A) (Recommended)

Recommended for sleeved cards (Dragon Shield and similar).

Box Small (Option B)

Recommended for unsleeved cards and "perfect fit" sleeves or similar.

Box Sleeved (Option C)

Optimized for sleeved cards (Dragon Shield or similar). The Universal Box is recommended instead.

Box Small Fast (Option D)

Recommended for unsleeved cards, perfect fit or similar, ideal for Bulk Scan.

Light (Option A) (Recommended)

  • Amazon USA link

What you need

• 10 mm magnet, 2 mm of height.
