I was wondering what you recommend for storing graded cards. I have some 2 row boxes that are larger. Looking for something smaller that will fit nicely in a safe for higher value items...maybe 12-16 inches in length.
Anybody have any recommendations on what works for them.

PSA makes boxes, on their website.

I remember there was someone who posted on this site some hand made wooden graded card storage boxes that were really nice. I did not buy one but I believe several members did.

The PSA boxes work great - I have both the plastic and cardboard types.
I like the custom wood boxes, but it appears that they are designed more for top loaders.

They make graded custom boxes also. I just linked to the first one of several different designs available. Graded box link http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=158674

bcw super vault boxes (http://bcwsupplies.com/cat/trading-card/trading-card-boxes/super-vault-graded-cards-storage-box)
each box holds about 75 graded cards.
perfect for player or team runs...
(stack vertically)

I scan the front of a wax pack as a box label with the box number below it. And yes, back to OP question, cards stack nicely vertically inside box. I used to be able to fit 84 in a box comfortably. Now with the newer fatter slabs, 75 or so might be the max. Stupid fat slabs......:mad:

Probably not what you're looking for since you want something smaller, but I really like the cardcasepro boxes. I like that they're adjustable. You can have 4 rows, or I always make 3 rows and use the side slots for postcards, exhibits etc.

Those are nice as well.
Thought they might be fire/water rated but I see they aren't.

Here's what I use for my graded cards. From A Box Factory.

These come in chipboard (http://aboxfactory.com/index.php/shop/graded-card-storage-box-chipboard.html) ($44.99 to start, each), or wood (http://aboxfactory.com/index.php/shop/wood-graded-card-storage-box-black.html) ($84.99 to start, each).
These are very similar to the old M.J. Roop boxes. I use the chipboard, as I don't travel with my cards. If I did, I'd use the wood. They offer a beautiful way to store your collection.
Outside Dimensions: 8.5 x 14.375 x 5.375

Thanks for suggestions. Some nice ideas on storing in larger quantity which I will borrow. I think I am going to try a couple of PSA boxes for safe as they will fit.
