Hi all,
Looking for insights/suggestions as to what storage units to purchase to safely store/hold graded baseball cards. Plan to store with mixed grader variety of same year. Appreciate your help....Tim |

These were purchased at my local card shop. No item number on the box to ID them. Larry

I've found that a 7.62mm M13 ammo can holds graded cards nicely. I was able to put PSA, SGC and BVG cards in them and not only do they provide protection for the slabs (which provide protection for the cards) but they also come with a handle.
I stuff a sock in them to keep the cards from sliding around until the can is full. The biggest downside to these is showing up at the shooting range with a ammo can full of PSAs.

I just use BCW double row cardboard boxes. Each box can hold 130 PSA cards. SGC is a bit thicker so maybe 120 per box and BVG I'm guessing 100 per box. I use these boxes because they are simple, cheap, and don't weigh hardly anything. A full box is pretty heavy so I don't want to add even more weight using a metal or wooden box. Maybe once I'm done collecting, I'll figure out something better but until then, it's just simpler moving these boxes around and keeping cards in order.
Here's a random ebay link for these boxes. Even my local baseball card shop keeps these in stock which is nice and saves on shipping charges. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BCW-Graded-...oAAOSwby1emMs0 ![]()

Thanks for giving us all a heads up about the BCW Graded Card Shoe Storage Boxes, Ron. I just hit a buy it now for 5 of them at a pretty cheap price.

Anyone try any of those available on eBay that are not just cardboard? What DoD you think. Best bang for the buck?

This is an example of one I built for myself from 1/2" mdf scrap. Guessing you could probably get 7 or 8 out of full sheet. So if you have access to a tablesaw and a few clamps, just make one on your own.

Bang.
Right answer. Water protection from the case, sitting inside my fire rated safe, hopefully combining to give me the best protection for these little bits of paper I can get outside a deposit box. Holds a tonne of cards too. Last edited by 68Hawk; 11-13-2020 at 08:17 PM. |

Stick with archive safe materials. More expensive but better for long term storage:
