Default Custom engraved set or collection boxes.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area but just looking for opinions good or bad and I know it could be a real niche item

This fall I wanted a better way to store my cards and display them at the same time and didn't want to just print
a picture and paste it on Pelican case, seemed plain. I decided to make my own boxes with custom inserts and
engrave a picture on the box which the box has the ability to stand on a shelf. I enjoyed engraving the pictures
so much I have about 50 of the greatest vintage cards, including 10 T206s.

What do you guys think of them?

Thanks,
Larry

They look nice. Curious what you used for the engraving? A CNC? Cricut? Type of wood?

Those are pretty nice.

I'm guessing a laser engraving/cutting machine? If it is, which one?

They are engraved with a CNC machine, tried a laser but just didn't look right.

Man, those are suh-weet!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, the sets they hold are way beyond my budget, so PLMK when you produce a 1990 Score version.

WOW! Excellent! Wish I could do something like that. I can't even get a tupperware lid on a box without destroying it.

What're the interior dividers made of? They look really good.
