Getting about that time to start making boxes!! My father-in-law is now retired and wants to tackle some card boxes. He'll be taking orders soon. One more idea I had was to make a small (more classic) box for 'little' cards. A box centered around the 1 15/32 x 2 11/16 mini tobacco toploaders (to also fit graded cards on their sides).
I'm suggesting having him make graded card boxes (see above) and 'tobacco' mini boxes. As soon as a prototype is ready, I'll post pictures. Something that could maybe hold 600 or so mini toploaders - approx 12x12in? Or 500 minis with a few graded slabs on their sides. Just a guess. Imagine a small customizable box for 'the monster'... etc...
Does anyone have ideas for the top design? Something classic, something to add character to the boxes. Especially the tobacco boxes. Email me pictures if you have ideas. Customization will be available too.
Thanks for the above ideas. Felt bottoms will be standard. The mini boxes will have fixed dividers. The larger graded boxes will have adjustable dividers to fit graded cards, semi rigid holders/toploaders, mini tobacco toploaders and larger items.
Prices? Don't know yet. I'm sure it'll be fair based on materials, time, shipping etc. Probably have to be a pre-order situation so he could make a few at a time.
