Waterproof Card Storage Box (about 20-30 cards)
 
I been looking into another Waterproof Storage Box.
I already have a Sentry fire safe for some stuff and documents, but running short on space. Looking at moving cards into a separate box.
I saw some threads on ideas, such as a Pelican box or Apache.
I also read on Blowout as well..that HarborFreight has a deal.
But those look to big..more cards than i have....as i downsized to about 20-30 cards.
Anyone have one for sale or any ideas...please shoot a PM
I never had customeized one before, not sure how to do this foam insert thing, so
asking if a dealer might have one done already
Plus, been looking for those bubble sleeve protectors to protect the holder.

Apaches come in different sizes one that would hold your collection runs about$50. Waterproof and airtight. They also have smaller ones of which you might need two…

Went and bought one today at Harbor freights. Cost 42-ish $$$
I got the orange Apache.
Posted on the March pick-ups thread...
Already pulled the foam inserts apart--my 1st time, so it was ackward.
The only thing i dislike- the foam space is a bit wide for a single card.
I placed them side-ways. 2 rows
Any thoughts???
as i didnt want to stick 2 cards together. Plus i took the top foam out so it would close.

This is the case I have. I have a few more cards in mine than you and thus I don't have any space between cards as they sit pretty snuggly and don't jostle around (as dark as I can tell). Attachment 613456

After a second look I would take one more layer out of the foam inserts per card and put the lid foam back in.Attachment 613457

i am new to it--i was wondering about digging into the bottom foam.
I see yours is down deeper..so not 100% sure of doing that yet.
As for the spacing--i am thinking about using those bubble-sleeves for the cards, to make it snuggle better.

Ah I see you have one slightly smaller than mine and may not have that second layer to peel away.
