So I've gotten to the point where storing cards/toploaders in regular cardboard boxes isn't going to cut it.
I found these and thought they might be good, but was wondering how many toploaded cards these would fit, if at all?
Amazon.com: BCW Monster 4 Row Storage Box (3200 Ct.) - Corrugated Cardboard Storage Box - Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Nascar, Sportscards, Gaming & Trading Cards Collecting Supplies: Sports & Outdoors (http://www.amazon.com/BCW-Monster-Row-Storage-3200/dp/B000K41E6K)
Or if anyone has other suggestions or experiences, I'd welcome your thoughts.
Thanks!
You're making a wise decision with these. I have two 5 row monsters, two 4 row monsters, two threes and a double wide. All of my cards are quite safe. :)!
Those there are pretty much what everyone uses really.

I figured as much, just wanted to make sure. I'm behind the curve when it comes to stuff like this I suppose, just never thought it necessary until the sheer quantity made the use of several regular boxes impractical.

Also, if anyone has one or two of these of at least 3000ct for sale/trade, please let me know. Don't really feel like paying $11+ for a cardboard box. Thanks

Top Loaders do not fit in 3,200 count or 5,000 count Monster Boxes. You want to order 1,600 count Shoe Boxes or 3,000 count Shoe Boxes for the best fit for your cards in Top Loaders.

Are there any cases for graded cards?

yes and toploaders fit in all of them. I have a 5000 2 3200 and 6 or so shoe boxes or 2 rows full of gameused and autos as well as 4 or so 550 wide boxes full. They work great but were discontinued

I use these boxes for graded cards and top loaders:

I love these boxes for my PC top loaded cards. I cut a piece of white cardboard about the size of a graded slab and write the player's name on it. Easy way to organize your collection.

That's not right. The 5.000 count boxes are to tight for toploaders that's true, but the 3.200 count boxes are perfect for cards in toploaders. All my PC cards are in top loaders and are stored in these 3.200 count boxes.
Merry christmas,
Patrick :)!

Older thread, and I know some have LCS where they pick up boxes for a few dollars...but was hoping someone could definitely recommend what I should get to hold toploaders. I only have about 100 toploaded cards but been kind of limited by storage so wanted to pick one up. Only have about ten graded cards so holding graded cards isn't a necessity but I wouldn't mind it.
Will this hold toploaders?

Yes, but if you've only got about 100 top loaded cards, a Monster Box is major overkill.

The "Shoe Box" is a good one.

Only if you have a glut of graded cards, since you only have a few, you can lay them sideways in a regular box and they won't take up much space.
