Storage Problems...HELP!!

PROMETHIUS88

i'm not in too much trouble yet, but i'm looking ahead and not sure what i'm going to do. sure, there are psa storage boxes for my regular sized cards, but how in the world am i going to store my 70-71 topps basketball "tall boys"?? right now....with only 20 some cards, it's not a problem. but, with the assumption that i'm going to follow through, how am i to store 175 cards in those big holders? it's not so much that i can't just get a box and throw them in, but i want to be able to pull them out and look at them and have them in some semblence of an order! anyone else have this problem in the past that came up with a good solution?? or, is there a "psa-type" box that will hold the tall boys?? thanks in advance for any help!

The PSA plastic boxed hold tall boys. I believe they hold nine cards.

T- There are some Rubbermaid/Tupperware-type containers that are long and narrow that can do the job. I found ones I liked at Target, but Im sure they are all over the place.

They are big enough to handle 1964 Topps Giants (on their side) so they should handle the thinner Tall Boys. They come in varying lengths, but the one I have can handle at least 60 cards and it probably could hold a little more. You just snap the "air tight" lid on the container and put it in a filing cabinet or where ever. Before that I used the high tech capability of empty microwave popcorn boxes

I use the brown cardboard boxes that PSA uses to ship your cards to you.

Solid and protected...

Tape a few together for a "row" box....

(Hey.......Another good use for duct tape......Red Green...)



Good luck!!!

King K - Those PSA boxes work great, but you only get those outsized boxes (for Topps Giants and Tall Boys) if you are submitting and receiving cards from PSA, not if you win the cards on Ebay.

Do you know if PSA sells those boxes on the side as well? Those PSA plastic boxes just dont cut it for these types of sets as you would need about 20 of them for a 180 card set.

If they sold the cardboard ones, Id buy a bunch. You cant see in them, but they work very efficiently.

I really don't know if PSA sells those boxes. You would think that anything that PSA can replace easily, would be for sale if needed by a customer.

BJ would probably know. (800) 325-1121.

Please let us know what happened.

T-
I use the shipping boxes that PSA sends to me with the tall boys as well. I actually like them better than the plastic ones. I have a friend that has roughly 400 tall boys from the 1969-71 basketball sets. He is getting married and is going to sell off his doubles. You might want to contact him to see if you can get first picks.
