PCGS holders

Do PCGS holders stack one on top of the other like their PSA counterparts for baseball cards?

    yes....but they fit better in a blue box. Do you have any ?
  • I don't know about PSA slabs, but Yes, PCGS slabs will stack on top of each other.
  • I just started in the hobby. What are blue boxes?

    Here is a current eBay auction which has a picture of
    a blue box. It is the box PCGS uses to send your coins
    back to you after they have been graded.

    Most people use them to hold their slabs.

    I don't know who this eBayer is, and have no connection
    with him or no knowledge of the coins he's selling. It's
    just the first picture I came upon when looking for a good
    picture of a blue box.

    Lots of times you can find PCGS blue boxes on sale at coin shows or your favorite dealer.

    Actually the PCGS slabs stack a bit better than PSA holders, however their extra thickness limits the size of the pile that you would want. PSA slabs are pretty thin.

    edited to add: get an NGC box instead of a PCGS box, the NGC boxes hold NGC, PCGS, and ICG. The PCGS boxes only will hold PCGS.

    This is because PCGS slabs are elitist; they prefer not to share space with lesser TPG slabs image

    The reason I didn't mention eBay is because then you have to pay for shipping and have to worry
    about the boxes being damaged in shipment. But eBay is also a place to buy the boxes.

    And, image to the Forum, Jetpro! Enjoy while you learn.

    Yes Zoins, I use the Intercept Boxes particularly with Silver (and Gold)! The slabs tend to fit well and display OK without removing the Slabs from the Single Boxes.

    Thanks. Good to know since I'm thinking of getting some.

    Intercept Shield also makes a track box that will fit 20 slabs without the single boxes. I have switched to these for my safe deposit storage. I find them much easier to use and less expensive.
