PSA Storage Boxes

PSA used to sell storage boxes, I think they were $5 apiece. Do they not sell them anymore? Did anyone try them?

I bought some last year... they are ok and serve their purpose I guess - I found slabs get stuck very easily inside them.
They work great if you want to store a small registry set.

They sold them at the National last year.

SGC has them for 2.50 each when you buy 4 or more

Can you have toenails longerer?

And isn't a box like this a little useless if you don't collect BOTH company's products?

Old 8 track tape cases:

Or you can just go out and purchase the best protective case available!

I totally agree these are the best cases available, best thing to come along since sliced bread.

I bought a fireproof safe that is similar in size to that container minus the foam padding for $40 at Target. Fits my smaller collection. I love it because it is lockable and fire rated up to 1,500 degrees. Where can you get that holder pictured and is it fireproof and lockable? I like that it has the padding and the handle, about the onyl thing that I like better than my safe.

I believe MBMiller25 makes them.

I've got 3 of the red ones I can sell you if you want them. Just PM me.

But I'll also say from experience that I bought one of Matt's cases (above) and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made on this board.

Call PSA Customer Service at (800) 325-1121. Tell them what color you want and how many. They're a great bargin at $5. I'm not sure why anyone would spend big $$$ for storage boxes

Yeah for the price they're certainly fine. I like the ability to have more than 25 in a single case. I just found that I'd need 10 of them to hold my collection - and that was only the PSA graded portion of it. The case I bought from Matt holds not only graded holders but CS1's, closes and seals well, is easily moved, and fits in the corner of my closet.

At $5 a piece plus shipping I would have paid well over $100 to house my collection, and would have to search through stacks of them each time I wanted to find a card.

BCW makes one which holds about 80 cards.. I ordered a case last year and I have not grips about it..

SooperDave · April 13, 2009 3:10AM

The method I came up with is to number each PSA storage box with a sharpie and add that number to the comments section of each card on my registry. Makes finding them a lot easier. I also keep the cards in a safe deposit box at the bank....no real need for all that protection. I'd love to be able to have them at the house but it's to much of a risk. I have each card scanned front and back so it's almost like having them at home.

I just use the PSA Black carboard boxes. 5 Bucks a piece and they hold 60 cards if I am not mistaken. Just ordered 6 of them along with a few of the plastic boxes for my tall boys. Call customer service or check your membership renewal for the order form.

Those plastic cases are nice, but in reality they are a little pricey/bulky for not providing any kind of fire rating. I have enough suitcases I have got to store, and would like to avoid accumulating suitcases for my cards.
