    Thank you for posting this. I've thought about buying one myself.
    How tight are the cards in the rows and how many can you fit in each row?
    Thanks
  • Haven't yet put any sets in but this variety holds 160 graded cards, so basically 40 in a row. There is about a 1/8 inch wiggle room left to right, checked each row and are quite near the same. I believe they will custom make also.

    I think the ones 70ToppsFanatic has been selling are much nicer, myself.

    Agreed, though these are less expensive.

    I see these as two completely different animals. Dave's cases are for secure storage and transportation, BBCE cases are more accessible for viewing the cards/display.

    Don't forget that the new PSA slabs are a little thicker. If you mix old and new in the box it probably wont hold 160.

    Agreed. I checked these out at National and they're great. Considering one for my Registry Sets that I like to view regularly.

    Also got one of Dave's in the Mike Kelly auction and that is great as well, and gives me a sense of security since my house has flood potential.

    Both great, but different purposes and price points.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Most of you have it exactly right. Steve's dad makes the wood cases he offers on his site. They are lightweight and really nice for a desktop
    or on a shelf. They are not designed to be moved around much.

    Our cases were designed to offer maximum protection, and also for transportability. They are nowhere near as aesthetically appealing as the
    wood boxes Steve's dad makes. On the other and, the wood boxes are not military-spec watertight/dustproof/crushproof/auto-pressure equalizing
    cases. Two different products with two entirely different purposes.

    And may I be amongst those who have recommend the BBCE cases for the use they were designed for (I own one myself).
