Does anyone know if they make corrugated storage boxes for sets in between 660 and 800? I swear up and down they used to make a 720ct box, but local card guys tell me no way. There's a lot of sets with numbers higher than 660 but considerably less than 800. I've heard of "space savers", but I don't know how they work or if they're worth the extra money. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

i always space available in my boxes, because i always go one size up just in case i want to add similar items to it.. but just use foam, bubble wrap or cut out cardboard to fill the voids (depending how much space is there), also used the 25-50 count plastic cards holders and put extras in there in between the space

I've tried that, but the boxes seem to be a bit small for those. They do fit in the monster and super monster boxes, though. I am certain they used to make a 720ct box back in the day.

I think they used to exist. No matter where you go online or local shops, nobody has them so I'm guessing they discontinued them or I'm mistaken.

I haven't seen anything between the 500-count and 900-count boxes for a LONG time now. I'm sure that's b/c of the mostly much-smaller set sizes these days, but there are still 600+ card sets being made. I don't know why the boxes should be non-existant though.
As for space-fillers, those are pretty easy to find for free. I keep the packing material from online purchases of other stuff to use for fillers. Small air-packs and sheet-formed foam work great for filling empty space in a box, but put a penny sleeve b/t it and the cards for extra protection (no idea what chemicals may have been used on those fillers). Blank-card inserts in packs make for great fillers too and you can color the edge with a Sharpie to distinguish them from the set. If you ever buy retail re-packs (such as from Fairfield), they contain plenty of filler material to use in boxes too.

Bcw doesn't have any on their website so I doubt they are readily available

I can easily find anything except between 660 and 800. I guess I'll have no choice but to use space fillers. There are quite a bit of sets that are between those amounts, too. Kinda odd, since they make toploaders and one-touch plastics for like every size card, but not boxes for every set. I also noticed that the one-touch "Rookie" version only come in like a very thick version. Frustrating...

I've always used empty packs as filler in a lot of boxes. Along with whatever else I can get ahold of that is clean.
I have a few of those odd sized boxes, but no telling how old they are, and haven't tried buying anything besides 500 ct or 600 ct in a long time. Always felt a bigger box was better than one that was too small.
