I bought various sizes of Ultra Pro plactic boxes. The so-called 10-card box only fits about 8. I'm pretty sure the cards are standard thickness. Anybody encounter something similar?
When I say "fits", I mean if you hold the box completely flat with the lid completely open, and shake side-to-side, the cards don't slide around.

Had the experience where some (don't know the brands) have flat lids/tops, where
all the cards are in the lower part and others with recessed tops that hold several cards....
Actually have a 200/250 container that opens in the middle,100/125 cards in each part...
It came with a bundle I picked up, otherwise would never think of using such a thing (for keeping cards up
for trade)....

Wal Mart carries a plastic crayon box in school supplies. It is a perfect fit for 50 cards in penny sleeves. I have a hundred or so with Team Sets, Insert Sets, etc. $1 a piece.

I love those crayon boxes from Walmart. I keep 3 in my suitcase in case I buy cards away from home. They are a great way to store cards until you get back home and can put them where they are going to go.

Have to look those up...
Deck Boxes (w/50 penny sleeves) are $5.98 in the Walmart here.....
Well, sleeves with solid backs that is...
How well do they fit in 2/4 row boxes????

Recessed top is actually what it has. I just get nervous when I close the lid with the top card(s) not held firm by the lower part of the box.

I need to check that out. At a buck each, it'd be a reasonable (and kind) way to ship trades w/o fear of damage.

Yeah those top cards always try to slide around and I have to be very careful not to pinch them

Here they are $1.24....
Top comes off, not sure about the latches that hold them on.....
Dropped them a couple times (had the dropses all month) and tops came
off every time.....
Need to see what boxes they fit into or what I need to store them in....

I LOVE the crayon boxes...thought I had come up with an original idea...oh well...
I live in NC and the Walmart here haven't been carrying them in any of the sizes but I found the exact product on accident at the Dollar Tree ($1.25 Tree). Just adding this incase anyone goes out looking.
