Ricky Williams custom box showoff / shout-out

**Keep scrolling for additions - latest pickup 10/14/25 - newest photos added of my 1/1s 10/21/25**

**Latest photos of the now-autographed box lid in post #20 below**

Ordered a custom storage box from TDS Customs, user scty0502 here... Very pleased with the result, pics below. If I wasn't so lazy with Flickr I'd show a few cards, maybe another time. EDIT: See replies for some show-offs and new additions.

Really nice looking box! Putting non-toploadeds cards in there would scare me though

I could have given more details I guess, lol. This box is designed for graded cards... I have a mix and probably more toploaders than his regular box comfortably holds, so I opted for the graded box. I guess a regular one could hold sleeved cards. The bottom is felt. Certainly not for high volume handling or dragging around all the time IMO.

Sweet!!!! Great idea & an awesome cover!

knownas2letters · 10-03-2020, 10:17 PM

awesome box!

Guess I'll turn this into a little bit of a PC showoff thread also.

Latest additions... Yes, the Precious Metal is misidentified as a 1997... Any advice on sending it in for reslab?

Nice, you can put your weed in it.

I’m a big longhorns fan! That PMG is SWEET!

Autograph signing coming up at the Dallas card show. Debating getting a real auto on it... Thoughts? What type of pen/marker?

49erRCCollector · 05-07-2023, 07:24 PM

That’s great.

oplum29 · 05-07-2023, 07:27 PM

that is so awesome.

Either a paint pen (if it’s rough wood) or a Staedtler Lumocolor marker (if smooth wood).

Seconded with a slight preference towards a paint pen regardless but you can't go wrong with a PP or Staedtler for smooth wood either way imo.

Love seeing this thread pop up again!

Really tempted to post my Rickey’s, but I don’t want to distract from OP’s awesome collection.

Any thoughts about getting the inside of the lid signed, as opposed to the outside, which already has the facsimile competing with an auto?

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought about it. Agreed the two autos on the top of the lid was going to be a little odd. Having the inside signed would protect against damage also.

If the post includes some 1999 1/1s and a price, by all means jump in...

longhornjunkie · 03-20-2025, 07:20 AM

Ricky signed my box lid at the Dallas Card Show this past weekend. A friend that came with me ended up with a spare JSA authentication ticket so I even got a sticker on it. Looks pretty sweet in the silver paint pen and he put a nice big signature on it.

kingofsnake · 03-20-2025, 12:21 PM

Very nice Ricky cards. And congrats on getting the box signed.

Seahawks fan · 03-20-2025, 12:45 PM

Great idea and great execution. Looks amazing! It was nice in the days (pre 2006) when there were only 500 or less cards of a 1st rounder made and you could keep them all in 1 nice box. With players having 5k-7K different rookie cards in this era..you would need your own Aircraft carrier to hold them all.
