Anyone know of a display case for unopened boxes? I searched the forum and didn’t really see anything. I have a few boxes I would like to display but also protect. Thanks.

Working on the following sets
1980's and 1990's Topps Baseball BBCE FASC - Cello or Wax Boxes
1952 Bowman US Presidents PSA 7 & up
Pro Football Hall of Fame Indianapolis Colts PSA Registry Set
June 9th Cubs full ticket or stubs - 1981 to 2020
Andre Dawson Topps Basic registry PSA 10's
Mark Grace Topps Basic registry PSA 10's

    That is an impressive collection and display! I don't have that much of a display room and only have 7-8 boxes I want to display.

    I use a barrister bookcase for some of my unopened. These can range in price from a couple thousand to a couple hundred, depending on age and condition and manufacturer. The doors open up and slide in. I love them.

    That is sick!!!

    I'd like to have some clear acrylic/ plastic boxes that allow the boxes to fit snugly in to protect and display.

    There’s a Gary Gaetti rookie on top of one of those cellos! And a few other guys.

    Sweet set up Andy.

    Just sell your boxes and rebuy boxes that are GAI graded. They come in plastic.

    I love the barrister's bookcase display. That is amazing. What a great idea!

    The problem is that boxes come in so many different shapes and sizes. Years ago, some of the wacky collectors got plastic boxes made (and it was expensive) that fit the 48 count square boxes (see below) that most wackys came in. There are some sports boxes that size (mostly from 1970-72) but fabricating boxes for all kinds of different sizes wouldn’t be practical.

    I have gotten acrylic cases made for boxes from Action Figure Authority

    They allow you to create custom sizes and they are reasonably priced

    That looks like a good option!

    From left to right:
    Nikomat FT (1971)
    Nikon F2 (1973)
    Nikkormat FT2 (1975)

    I've shot with all, but the Nikkormat has always been my baby. It's never let me down. Mostly B&W in it.

    very nice, rare to see the F2 with that prism.

    Thanks @Griffins . Yes, usually you see the F2 with the Photomic metered prism. This one is the eye-level variety, plus it's the somewhat rarer all-black model.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled thread topic.
