TRAVAL CASE/STORAGE CASE!!!

Hey guys I'm really looking for a nice aluminum locking case that locks to store my cards in and take with me to shows. I'm getting to the point in my collecting that a card board box isn't cutting it and now I'm looking for something nicer to store my cards in. I anyone has any ideas or using anything nice please lmk.

I was looking around google, and came up with this site. They look half decent to me, cheap as well.

That would work well, I just liked the fact that the other is card specific, and it is also made of wood so it could be in an office or something and you wouldnt know what it was, it also has a nice look on it.

A locking laptop case or breifcase is perfect. One with a shoulder strap and combination lock. Both are perfect, they have multiple pockets.

do you use foam so they don't move around?

There was a guy that was selling these a while back. Not sure if he still does but I've contacted him and will let you know what he says.

They hold 150 PSA graded cards I believe. They should work for BGS and SGC, but would hold fewer of the BGS slabs since they are thicker.



They are waterproof (resistant) and resist heat up to 500 degrees I believe as well.

love it please lmk and it locks right? Ya all my cards are in one touches so they would fit great please let me know asap would love to buy one. By chance do you know how much they were?

The Pelican cases are the way to go. He works for them and has the special foam insert made for the inside. They're a little pricey, but outside of a very nice safe, they're about as safe as can be.

I asked him how much they are if he still sells them. I will let you know when I hear back.
I think they are customized Pelican cases, so they aren't cheap, but as I added above, they are watertight and heat resistant.

Looks like a Pelican case (or a knockoff). They are very popular for gun & camera storage. The foam in them is pre-cut in 1/2" squares. You just pull out whatever is needed to get your desired shape. They are not cheap, but are top-of-the-line products.

The foam insert in these isn't the standard tear away foam that comes in these. He actually has these inserts molded out of a much higher quality foam. He's pretty high up in the company and just does these on the side to help collectors out.

Even better!

Definitely let me know about the pricing of this case. Would need one or two... I have 3 but the case company is no longer exist...

Thanks!!!

Those cases are awesome! If they aren't astronomically high I might look into buying one.

Here's a picture of his larger 350 card case:





As for price, between the custom inserts, case, and shipping, it's across the board a good deal for what you get. In many instances priced better than purchasing a standard case with tear away foam...the quality of the insert is much better as it is a rigid foam.

He got back to me and he still does sell them. They hold 250 PSA slabbed cards and they are $200 each delivered.

As far as locking I know that the sides have holes so that you can put a lock on it, but I'll double check to see if that thing in the middle is a key lock as well. I'm also making sure he's ok with people emailing him and I can PM his address to anyone that is interested.

I'm probably going to pick one up, even though I was hoping they were a little lees. They are tanks though...I think you can run them over with a car without damage to the case.

Yes, he works for Pelican.

This case - will it hold sleeved cards? I am not PSA collector, though... I need to make sure that the cards will be "tightened" in foam...
