Storage options for PSA graded cards

Bo Hunter · 10-08-2019, 05:01 AM

Hi guys, I'm looking for suggestions for a nice storage case for PSA graded cards. I recently started buying slabbed PSA cards and have sent some cards off for grading and am looking for a long-term storage solution.

I've seen some team/logo boxes that someone posted a link to on instagram that several people here seem to have, but those don't really appeal to me very much. My ideal solution would probably be to buy a nice custom woodworking case with a foam insert or something like that, but would probably be ok with one of the aluminum style cases or Pelican style cases with foam inserts as well.

What are you guys using for yours? Any suggestions would be great!

So far, these are what I'm leaning toward, but I don't know how good the quality is. Has anyone here bought these off eBay?

Is your goal to be lock them away in something safe, or to access them and look through them with some regularity?

Mostly looking to lock them away in my vault. But I will probably go through them occasionally.

I have that case you mentioned above and like it a lot. Keep a saved search for an 'Imperfect' one which is what I did. They'll pop up every once in awhile and cost $60 instead. The one I got has a little mark on one of the sides that I can barely notice and that is the reason they are marked down.

This is probably way more than you're looking to spend and probably won't fit in your vault... but I have this for sale on ebay:

I came up with the design because I wanted each slab label to be visible, even when the case is fully loaded. Also, since each slab has its own slot, the slabs don't slide around when a row isn't full. And the slabs never touch so they don't need to be stored in bags.

I'd sell it on Blowout for the hefty price of $700.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

That's a nice case! But it's a little overkill for my needs. GLWS

Thanks for the responses everyone.
