Nice graded card boxes - advice....COMING SOON

[jp1216]

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.

I would be interested in a box. Please PM when everything is sorted out. I think a nice top design would be one similar to that on one type of the T205 cards with 2 bats forming a V and a baseball where the bats meet as well as the diamond bases patern in a third wood color. Not sure how difficult that would be but it would look nice.

The boxes look great. One suggestion would be to also make one that fits standard cabinet cards holders from SGC and PSA.

I would be interested in a box.

I have one request: make the dividers small enough so that they hold graded cards "snugly" and not rattle around in the box when carried.

Another suggestion: For us vintage collectors, offer to brand words on the top of the box so collectors can see what they have inside that specific box: i.e., "T-206" or "T-205" or "1909 to 1911 Tobacco Cards."

Just a suggestion.

I would certainly be interested, especially in boxes that can hold Tallboys.

That is a cool suggestion. I might be asking a lot, but it would be nice to see a slot of some sort where you can insert and index card or something removable. My collecting vision always seems to change, so I wouldn't want something permanent. Again, great idea and let me know when available.
