Storage for graded cards

[HOFAUTOS]

I'm curious to know what kind of storage people on the boards use for their graded cards. I know of the custom Pelican cases that are for sale by MBMiller, but what about for single graded cards? Do you just use the graded card sleeves? How do you display your graded cards and protect the case and card?

I'm using the table I built that has storage for graded cards under the top. Good storage, but not so good for display.

For display I use em as coasters
Just kidding, I haven't really figured out a nice display yet.

I have several of these wooden stands for single card display. I rotate inventory when the mood strikes.

John - cool little stand. Where do you get them?

I think it may look good paited black with the SGC holder.

I've started using the wooden boxes from aboxfactory.com, which have been great for storing ~100 cards. Their storage trays are also nice for smaller lots of graded cards (~30). The former fit better for my PSA holders than the SGCs, but the latter was great for the SGCs.

(I have no relation to that company, so this isn't a self-serving "plug" for them).

I bought four of the graded card storage boxes from A Box Factory a couple of months ago. First off the bat, their customer service rated an A Plus. The robo-corporate style of the 21st century has me pretty jaded so it was very refreshing to deal with Wendy at ABF who ran the show like mom and pop used to back in the good ol' days. The boxes are handsome, solid and well made. SGC slabs, which comprise the majority of my graded cards, fit into the boxes but just barely. One would wish the boxes were just another 1/16th of an inch taller. I was able to shut the lid and snap the lock but I had to exert a little pressure to do so. PSA cards which are probably an 1/8 of an inch or so shorter would fit with room to spare. I was able to organize most of my slabbed sets in these four boxes in a way that was much more organized (and transportable) than the big Rubbermaid tub in which they they formerly resided. I would recommend A Box Factory unequivocally to anyone. They are a business that provides a good and useful product to the hobby and deserve to be supported.

Joe,
Homemade by my woodworker brother-in-law. I provided design, (slot allows for card to tilt to enhance viewing). I keep telling him that he could probably sell a few here.

With the boxes from "A Box Factory", are there little slots the cards slide into to keep them free standing or do you have to fill a whole row to keep them from sliding around in there? Thanks.

As a cheaper solution, I use the storage boxes by SGC: Link

The shipping costs can be steep, so when SGC was at a show nearby, I asked Michael Goldberg if I could just pick up the boxes there (and drop off a submission at the same time), which really helped.

that's funny -- I had my slabs in a rubbermaid tub too. and yes, Wendy has been amazingly helpful. eg, their website quoted me a shipping price that seemed exorbitantly high, so I e-mailed them and she wrote back with a new price quote reflecting a more accurate shipping. plus some of the boxes were out-of-stock, and she agreed to split the order (ie send what's available now) without doubling up my shipping charge.

the boxes do not have individual slots for the cards; they can slide within the column. so I wouldn't use the box in transportation without filling the column, but they'll stay upright and viewable once the column is ~60% full.

Not slapped, but along the same lines. What do you use for regular 'ol top loaders?? The shoebox style from BCW works for a large number, but when you want a seperate box for small sets (80-100), what do you do??

[HOFAUTOS]

Thanks for the replies. I really like the case from aboxcompany. I might have to order one and try it out.
