Where can I find this kind of box for my graded cards?

I got the new Memory Lane catalog and saw the following 1955 Bowman set, all housed in this nice box.

Where does one go to obtain one? I have completed various sets from the 1950's and this seems ideal. Thank you.

PT Freund makes them, from my experience the cardboard ones (that roop sold and Freund makes) don't hold up nearly as well as the wooden ones -covered in black linen cloth, Roop sold these as well, and are also made by Freund.

These are nice and not too expensive. I have 10 of them and they do a really good job.

Thanks for all your help! What is a "Roop" and where can I find this item or person? :-) Site? What do you suppose this person's 1955 Bowman set is housed in (wood?) and which company will supply the neat checklist that adorns the inside cover.

Thanks again guys.

MJ Roop was a company that sold these boxes and slipcased binders to collectors. They went out of business a few years ago. Basically they took the same products offered by aboxcompany and archivalmethods (binders) and added a few bells and whistles- the checklist and screenprinting.
IMO you're better off creating the checklist yourself and having it laminated. The couple I have from Roop were full of errors and typos.

I agree and nice looking. Just sent in an order.

Guys, just keep in mind that the cheaper boxes you are looking at above are not made of wood.
