Here's a cabinet I had made for me by a co-worker recently. I just picked up the finished product today and it's beautiful. Completed pics will follow. The box is to store my sorted collection. 6 rows for Art/Land/Multi and the 5 colors then by set in colums. It holds single 1000 count boxes. -Keith   |

Indeed, very nice box.
of course, this is not even remotely an excuse not to fill the pimp closet with the pimpest cards on the planet.

Somehow, I don't think that will be a problem for Keith. What kind of wood is the exterior frame? It almost looks like cherry in the pics, but I can't imagine that's correct. Regardless, nice to see a pic of this thing--it looks nice. |

would you be willing to send the specs? I could really use one of these things.

I'm really interested in the specs. My room is a mess of cards that desperately needs to be organized.

I'll see what I can do about getting detailed specs for you all.
I may be interested myslef if I ever need a second one.
For reference the materials ended up costing just under $200.
But with my collection worth well over 20 grand I think it's a worthy investment.

On the topic of pimp cases
My friend (a local dealer on the area) works in robotics, and he welded himself a case out of some sheets of steel. It's got padlocks and a handle, and when he's carrying it he looks like he's holding a really big gun in there :p I could see him getting into some trouble trying to get that thing onto a plane. I'll see if I can get pictures.
I think it may even be bulletproof.

I've been storing my cards in a fire-proof safe. Call me paranoid, but I sleep better at night knowing that my collection won't be going "up in smoke" any time soon  |

A nice case from someone who doesn't have kids. Mine are under the bed in cassette boxes (I can't buy them anywhere now), a 2 year old can't open a double bed (yet). Yes, I have given her some of her own but it's always 'Can I look?' followed by 'Can I have one?' followed by 'Another one?' and she has recently graduated to 'Can I have 3?'. Damned genetics.
