I am a woodworker and card collector. I designed this box to hold BGS graded cards.

The box was designed for regular thickness cards and regular thickness autos, like Prizm cards. PSA cards can fit but they are skinnier than BGS slabs so some slots may be too wide for them. It depends on how centered I got the middle card divider in the box. The box is made of 1/2 cabinet grade plywood painted an egg shell black. I used a finger joint for the corners.

The lid slides off toward the front. When closed, some people can't figure out how to open the box. It is made with 1/4 plywood and I waxed the edges with some candle wax to help it slide good.
I will include a piece of 1/2 foam that will sit on top of the cards so that they cards won't bounce around if the box is being transported.

Each card slot has a dark denim strip glued to it so that the slab won't get scratched. This is a very time consuming thing to do but I did not want my box to scratch up the cards it was designed to hold.
The inside of the box is stained black with 2 coats of an oil finish applied to it. I did this to protect the cards from possibly getting paint on them. There is no paint on the inside of the box, only the outside.
I have 5 boxes completed, 3 will hold 22 cards and 2 will hold 24 cards. The box that holds 24 cards is 14.5 x 8.5 x 6 5/8 inches. It weighs 4 pounds. The box that holds 22 cards is 13.5 x 8.5 x 6 5/8 inches. It weighs 4 pounds.
I will be charging $65 a box for the two boxes that hold 24 cards. The 22 card boxes will be $60 a piece. Delivery is $5 To a US address.
If you would like a box for BGS thicker cards, magnetic, or PSA cards, send me a PM. I will need some measurements to accurately cut the slots for cards. The box may also need to be built to a different size. Thank you for looking.
