I don't own any cases myself (I'm not a dealer).

I've seen these at a few shows and liked them so much I took a picture to remember them in case I want to buy some for hobby / trade night events.

Allstate cases are the ones I’m familiar with although their website is a bit dated. Assuming they are still in business….

Default AllState for durability & longevity

I have been using the Allstate cases for years. Take care of them and they take care of you. A big factor to think about is glass or plastic top - plastic scratches MUCH more easily and will start to look crappy over time. If you aren't moving them much that may not be an issue and there are some good plastic top cases out there.

Allstate cases can be purchased new directly from the mfr. I did find a few used ones in good shape on Craigs list. Checking in with dealers at a show is a good idea too. You could also check with Levi Bleam - 707 Sports cards & Jimmy Ryan at JP sports - they both rent cases at shows and may have some to sell used.

Interesting and timely thread. I'm looking for 2-4 display cases for the Feb. 10 gathering in No. Virginia. Anybody in the Philadelphia area have any to rent/purchase?

Cheers,
Mike

Post-covid, they are pretty hard to find used, everyone and their brother is setting up a show, somewhere, someplace.

I don't believe Levi is in the case rental business anymore, Josh H. took over the business. Most renters are not looking to sell spare cases.

Looking locally is the best bet as shipping is expensive. Perhaps the local flea market or antique mall. But, there are a pair on ebay right now.. don't let the no key hold you back, you can either use them without the key as most are at their table anyway AND you can get the replacement keys pretty easily, the cases have the key number stamped on the case lock.

If you’re super casual like me, I use the plastic cover Amazon ones like this.

https://www.amazon.com/VIZ-PRO-Tampe...cs_rp_2_i&th=1

They will get scratched up if you dont take care of them but I store mine in the box and use them for a show once or twice a year. You’ll see a lot of people set up with these now a days. They aren’t as thick so you’re limited with what you can put in them but for cards/slabs they are great. Just dont order the massive 48x36 one.

I'm a newbe here to the posts. Thanks for the add..Longtime sports collector , card show dealer and run a monthly card show here in Bristol RI. I absolutely love the rugged and ease to carry Christal clear cases. Saw them and spoke with the owner at the National in July. Affordable too. ! Good luck...(Allstate cases are great but heavy if you have to carry more than 1- the Christals stack up 3 per carry case).
