They laughed at Columbus.
They laughed at Copernicus.
And I imagine, a few people will laugh at me.
Ladies and Gentlemen -- mostly Gentlemen -- I present a truly 1 of 1:
The "EchoCanyon Rack Pack Holder".
As a stated in the title, this is ONLY a prototype. There is still much to figure out.

Did you make that from a magazine toploader?

I do agree that it would be better if the tag fits as well, but then you have the issue of taking it back out.
I dunno if a notch indented in the plastic is a solution or not.
I dunno if its financially viable, but if you can figure out a way to make these, you're gonna make at least a few people happy.
Thank you for sharing your invention!

racks in/out of it?
<< <i> Awesome! How tough is it to get racks in/out of it? >>
I would think that if the opening was on the top (long side) it would be much easier. But I don't know what other isuues this would cause.
Can I get one in a screw down?

A holder like this, but in a 2 piece snap version, even if
once snapped together would have to be broken
open like a TPG slab, would be awesome. I would
be in for a few.
That way there would be no chance of damage getting
the rack into or out of the holder, and it would be
sealed on all sides.

Thanks for the kind words. All of you.
Like I said in the OP, it is just a prototype.
I did mention a few weeks (maybe months) back that I would take a stab at a rack pack top loader.
When I move forward, rest-assured, the header will fit in perfectly.
Good work!

Nice Job

Just got back from April 15th, LOL. Awesome first pass. I agree with suggestions that either the racks get loaded from the top or it is a snap on type case. You want to make sure the racks can be placed in the holders easily as it is not hard to damage those mid-70's and earlier racks. Lots of potential here.
FYI - Be careful, I heard the world is actually flat.

<< <i>Think $3 would be too much? Or too little? >>
Gregg, I think $3 is not too much even for cheaper mid-to-late 80's packs. Anything more may limit the appeal of these holders to 1980 and earlier racks with an exception for any 1980's money packs (i.e., Ripken, Gwynn, Boggs, Sandberg, Mattingly, Puckett, etc.)

valuable. I only want to protect them for sentimental reasons you might say. Keeping that
in mind, 3-5 each, depending on quantity seems fair.
Also, thanks for trying this, Im sure even if you cant get a huge response out of us here,
there are many collectors that have never even heard of this board that want something
like this!Its a product that I cant believe hasnt been"invented yet." Us crazy cardboard
guys have been collecting this stuff for years, we gotta protect it!

As far as I can tell, it will always have an open end.
<< <i>And do you think it should have the opening from the short side (ie, the prototype) or the long side?
As far as I can tell, it will always have an open end. >>
Gregg, I think the long side would be better especially for the pre-1977 racks as I'd be nervous pushing them in using the short end.
Great job on these btw.

Let the crack pack jokes commence!
these available for sale ?
I'll take 100 of them at the pre-order price. Can I get the individual cases serial numbered? Wouldn't that be cool? What a great idea and a needed commodity for the rack pack collector.
