How do you store your unopened packs?
I have a number of both sports and non-sports card packs. The packs are, for the most part, of fairly uniform size. I have them in soft plastic holders but haven't figured out a way to safely store a large number of them. Do you keep yours in a shoe box, stacked one on top of the other, or some other way? Does anyone make a cardboard holder that would hold 50 or more packs? I had a stack, sitting on my desk and during the night they tipped over (my bad for leaving them that way). No damage but it could have been bad.

I put my packs in team bags, backed by a top-loader, and then store them standing up in three and four row boxes (of course the rows needing to be wide enough, which is why I like the three-row boxes because sometimes the four-row may not be wide enough).

I use PLANO 3504-00 spinnerbait boxes.
I also save chewing gum plastic containers and they work great for added protection of wax packs and/or cello packs.

That's a fantastic use of gum containers. I hadn't thought of that before!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/296952705354Look interesting but cost more than I'm willing to pay. A lot of my packs, especially the non-sports ones are pretty low dollar but I want to keep them as pristine as possible but have limited funds for the storage method.

yes but their feedback not good... I wanted to try but I don't need the plausible hassle.

Not sure if you read the description right or not but it is $22 for a pack of 12. Not each. I didn't think that was too bad but if you have a lot of packs i guess that can add up quickly.

I did the same thing and when i filled up the box, they pushed the sides out since the rows werent wide enough. Couldnt put the lid on

I ended up using the two row boxes for graded cards. Some of the packs are wider than normal but they still fit well. Glad to have all those stacks of packs off the desk and safely stored away. Thanks for your help and guidance.
