NYCC 2022: Ironguard Supplies Brings a Strong Defense

Posted on by
New York Comic Con 2022

Comic conventions are one of the places where you need a good defense: defense from crowded aisles, defense from high food prices, defense for delicate cosplay outfits. You know what else needs defense? Your cards and comics. Cons are great places to pick up gaming cards, trading cards and comic books – but once purchased, they need to be protected. Like, right away.

That’s where Ironguard comes in. They say the best defense is a good offense, and Ironguard is going on the offensive at New York Comic-Con! They’re bringing the supplies to you, the collector, at booth 1056, saving you a trip to the website or your local gaming store. Get Ironguard products at special con prices, including card sleeves, toploaders, one-touch cardholders, 9-pocket pages, comic bags and more.

They’re also bringing a new invention they call the Wheel of Defense. Be one of the first ever to spin it, and you can win free card supplies, as well as new and vintage card packs to put in them!
