Slab Box Recommendation Needed

Is there a slab box available with individual slots that will hold all (or most) generations of PCGS/NGC slabs. I currently have an old NGC box that I purchased because I read that it was compatible with both PCGS and NGC. Now, years after purchasing this box, I am actually putting slabs in there and realized that newer PCGS slabs do not fit. Older PCGS slabs fit just fine. Most of the slab boxes I see online like Intercept Shield do not have individual slots or they are wooden or far too fancy for what I am trying to accomplish. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    I agree with Lance. I have 5 of these and they work great.

    I get the ones without the slots. You can store more slabs in the same space and space is always an issue.

    I use the SL50 box, as it holds many different slabs and comes with foam stoppers to hold the slabs in place. Also, they work great for the oversized slabs when you have those on their sides.

    Lance.

    "...the coins cannot move around inside the box because they are held firmly in place by tracks along the sides. These boxes are similar in size to the plastic boxes sold by PCGS and NGC but with the added protection of the Intercept Shield technology and the versatility to work for multiple brands of slabs. "

    I have the older version (maybe original) and while an older NGC (no line, fatty or other name) does fit in the box, it does so tightly with the tab supports firmly against the slab all the way down and sometimes resting at a slight angle in the box slot. Do these newer boxes remedy that (a little wider slot)?
    Thanks

    I like these 10 slab boxes. They come in blue and red. Bought them off of eBay and the only negative is that they have to be shipped from China. I like them because they're smaller and they fit in the smaller spaces a lot easier than the big 20 count boxes. They hold all the PCGS, NGC, and ANACS holders. They ran me about $3 - $5 each.
