It's an Apache 3800. I got mine from Harbor Freight, but you can order them on Amazon. They also have larger ones (4800) and smaller ones (2800?)

Same here. The best part is that they are relatively inexpensive and one can easily find a coupon for Harbor Freight to save even more money. I think mine cost just under 30 bucks with the coupon.

Hey Dan,

Did you have to modify the foam insert at all?

The 1955T Williams my dad bought me when I got out of the Marines. Just back from my last your in Afghanistan and hadn't once thought about cards in the prior 12 years. We went to a local card shop during his lunch and he just bought it. He never collected but it called out to him and he new Ted served in the Corps. The only card in my "keep" collection still slabbed.

Yeah. They come with insert and you customize it in whatever arrangement you want it. The insert is made up of foam squares that you break apart and remove

My Mike Trout 1/1 card. What are you guys thinking? Leave all the T206's, 33 Gowdy's, and my completed set of W514's that I spent 20 years completing with the help of Net54 members!

My wife had been pestering me for years to get a gun safe for my toys. Then one day my house caught on fire. I remember standing there with a garden hose trying to douse the flames thinking I was in for the mother of all "I told you sos". Thankfully the fire department saved my collection and my wife got a new kitchen. I got a new safe. If I had to grab one thing I suppose it would be this ring as it is pretty much representative of the genesis of my life long love of baseball .

I'd probably grab my HOF book. It's signed by every HOF'er I've met since 1988. Many of them have since passed, so it would be impossible to replace.

Dan, I got the APACHE 3800.
I am messing with the foam a bit to try and fit 90 cards in the case.
Any advice?
Looks like you might have doubled up the foam pieces to have them surround the cards better than I did.

Anyway, back to the OP, if a case counts, I might move my top 90 into this Apache.

If a single card only, then maybe my E105 Mello Mint Wagner.

(except that I would have to run to the case, spend time searching through , bypassing 89 other really great cards to save it
)

I just went and picked up an Apache 3800 at Harbor Freight. It's currently on sale so it might be harder to find. I can't wait to give it a try.
