Card Storage Opinions

KSterner · 02-26-2024, 10:14 PM

Hey Everyone,

I am one of the rare set collectors that exist (according to my LCS).

Attempting to collect 90s basketball sets. Specifically 1997-98 metal and anything 1996 to 2000 in my favorite sets.

My struggle - I prefer card saver 1s. Not to grade, but for storage. Easy to put the card in the case and I *think* it looks better than a toploader.

Are there any customizable (100, 200, 300 etc) boxes that store card saver 1s?

Ill be reaching out with my card needs soon in the marketplace soon. I just went thru my childhood collection recently and its so much fun.

Is it too much to ask and should I just switch to toploaders?

Any input is appreciated!

Depends what you mean by customizable, but the graded shoe boxes hold them.

Customizable meaning different set depth. I want a box around 200 for a 150 card set, 300-400 for the larger sets. Just different options. I guess customizable is the wrong word.

I'm a set collector as well! We're not rare

I have every intention of building my own set boxes. Real nice hardwood, hidden hinges, engraved graphics on the top specific to the set inside, rare earth magnet for closure, felt liner, etc. The works lol. All the sets I'm putting together are insert sets so no more than 20 or so graded cards. No cardboard box will do them justice. Plus it's a fun project!
