Storage of your collections

Hello all,

I am curious on how you are storing your collections.

I am storing my cards in a soft sleeve inserted into a toploader and then surrounded by a team bag. I then store them in a BCW storage box.

This gives the card maximum protection, but it takes alot of space. So I am curious to how you are storing your valuable collections. Some pictures would be good

Thanks Matt,

I am in at last

@l0qii: I had a look in those threads and I was expecting a little more pictures and ideas :).

Well this is a picture on how I am storing my cards:

I got about 15 of these boxes.

Btw, does anyone have some special storage solutions for BGS-graded cards? I have looked around online, but didn't find any.

I think BCW also have boxes in the size to store PSA and BGS graded cards. I actually got 4 boxes which was delivered to me by mistake.

Hmm ... Please tell me what BCW is - thanks. :)

BCW is a retailer selling storage supplies: http://www.bcwsupplies.com/

They have this box which have the measures to store graded cards: http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/tra ... -cards.htm

I can recommend them, good quality. But the problems are to get a hold of them in Europe. I don't know the availability in Germany though

Olesch, if you have too many boxes, I can take some off your hands, and I won't even charge you!

Welcome aboard olesch. I hope you greatly enjoy the board and share your collecton with us.

My storage solutions would probably not work for you as I must be able to see my cards and show them to others. Result is standard 3-ring binders and 9 card pages. Probably not the best but my cards have been stored like this for many years. I am in a high dust area (Colorado, USA--6,500 feet elevation) at present and am a little worried about the future and may need to take some additional precautions.

Let us know if you find something cool.

I use these boxes for all my graded cards - they work great. In addition, they work well for toploaders or CS!'s too. On top of all that, they look nice.

Take it easy,

PSA

Theres tons of stuff like this all over the place.

In the past I had some of the hard plastic boxes from PSA in the first link, they also make longer RED/BLUE ones that hold around 20 iirc plastic cases. They are harder to find though as I believe they only produce the 5 case ones now.

Uh, those boxes really look great - but unfortunately they don't offer shipping to Germany. But I wrote them a mail ... maybe it's possible anyhow. :)

Yeah, I just bought some albums from the UK - they shipped them, but I paid for it
