nicest ways to store bulk cards?

[Rob355]

I have my showcase where I want it for my top cards, but struggling with a nice organization system for all my bulk cards.

I've tried the condo's for the cardboard boxes.

Another struggle is fitting cards storing unsleeve and top loader cards together. Can't fit top loader in a regular box, so only option is unsleeve in a top loader box.

Anyway, just trying to get ideas how to organize and store cards in bulk nicely.

I do like how I got the dividers and a label maker for within each box.

I like BCW Super Shoe Storage Boxes for bulk storage. They can hold 2500 to 3000 cards, tall enough for dividers and top loaders. I have all of my 1952 - 1970s partial sets in 3 of them with room to spare. Top loaders fit good, but I dont think they are tall enough for graded cards......

I’ve been buying more BCW Cargo boxes lately- not big enough for graded cards, but fits toploaders and one-touches well. Breaks up the long rows to make a nice display… I also like to use dividers

I use these. I’ve been moving away from cardboard boxes as much as possible. These are amazing, stackable, and hold top-loaders easily. They have multiple colors and are extremely sturdy.

Those look nice but personally I can't justify spending $40-$50 for a plastic box when I get five of the 3-row super shoeboxes for the same price. Solid suggestion nonetheless!

I use regular 3,200 ct 4 row boxes - they fit top loaders where 5k 5 rows don't. Also easier to move but super stable to stack - I buy in bulk and they are less than $5 per box.

Wow! These are really nice. Now I want to check out how many partitions I might need for my autos/relics and pick some of these up.

Love these, I've slowly been converting everything to the 4-rows and the graded ones as well.

Totally get that. But my thinking is, $40-50 is essentially a pack of Series 1 Flagship. So, totally worth it.

They are very nice. Over the years I’ve learned cardboard boxes are not a great long term storage solution. They can get moldy and ruin cards. These things are built to stack beautifully.

Me too.

What did you use to create your player dividers? Those look great!

I ordered 5 last night and some extra dividers. My only complaint is they didn't have dividers in every color that they offer the boxes. I ended up with gray for the Yankees road uniforms sine they had dividers and the majority of my autos and relic cards that will be stored in them are from the Yankees. I can't wait until they arrive.

Post a few pics when you get setup!

they're great but if you sleeve your top loaders at all they won't fit. I would be using these for all my top loaders otherwise.

I think these are closer to what I'm looking for, but I still have a couple issues. I wish they would do a black in these like the other hard case design they have. The biggest issue is they aren't "condo" slide out, if I have a bunch of these stacked, it seems like a little headache to pull the bottom ones. This isn't an issue if the cards in storage aren't accessed often.

I received them today. They are nice looking. They hid my extra dividers in one of the bins so I had already written them thinking they forgot to send them. My plan is to try and get transitioned over to them this 3-day break and take photos of old and new.

I don’t have many pics of mine but found these two showing them stacked…

This is something that irks me about my 2/3 row shoeboxes. They're great for toploaded cards, but once they've got a toploader sleeve on them, it starts to push the box a little wide and makes the cards not fit as well/straight. I want the capacity of my 3-rows, but just withe *that* smidge bit more space...

I saw that, a YouTuber went through there, amazing! I wonder if there were any rookies or special cards that might have even been worth a $1.
