That looks pretty nice. Is there enough room to get a finger in there to get the cards out, or do you need to dump them?

There is room for a finger, AND a booklet will lay across the top of them. It's really nice - I want at least ten more!

It looks like a PLANO box. I don't know if they're available online, but I'll check.

Not knowing the dimensions, it looks like you might find it here:

Tom,

Don't know if you have any around you in Korea, but have you tried any baseball card or comic shops? Back in the day (before game shops in the area I grew up) these places are where I got all sorts of plastic boxes for Magic cards.

Any good sportscard store or comic store will carry these guys' products:

Look under Sports/Card storage

or

the first three options under comics and gaming

A little trick for ti,es when you need "finger space" for that type of box is to put slip of paper under the cards/dice/stuff, so you lift them out of the box easily.

Aha! Found them on eBay
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=4&cam...

Still can't find where to purchase them online, though - I want to get at least twenty of 'em.

Okay being semi proactive guy I am (ie sick of googling the same hits) I directly called Plano molding company and talked to a customer service person. Yes they do produce the Jammer card cases there are two sku's

5305 - Trading Card box 10.5 x 8 x 2.75 - US 2.00 each
5325 - Jumbo Card case 11.25 x 8.5 x 3.75 - US 2.25 each

you can call Plano customer care (number found here http://www.planomolding.com/content/index.cfm?siteaction=con...) and order the cases directly from them. The boxes are in cases of 6 boxes each. How ever the only caveat is the cases I am looking at in the fax they sent me are different looking the one one your photo tom. but from the really dark photo copied fax it looks like this product would work for you

Hope this helps.

sorry! I ONLY gots 'this':

would anyone ELSE also 'want' such as well? I was discussing just that 'topic' with some others and yet still another "RE-design" for varying 'themes' with this.

In the Atlanta area, the three space card box is available at most Target stores, though sometimes any given store may be out of them for a little while. I use a lot of these - the cards from a complete Citadels set (all in sleeves) fit in two compartments, plus one compartment full of flattened glass gems (and king token). You can also toss three Adlung games in one with some room to spare. There is an odd tab, designed to help make sure the cover aligns without effort, that you may want to cut off if you plan to pack all three compartments full.

They also make the two much larger boxes described above. The slightly larger one (which will hold poker cards standing up) seems easy to find here. I dislike that one - the rectangular sections are designed to hold two different types of cards (MtG/Poker size and a Wide style I've usually seen for movie cards) The bottom of each section is raised except for a quarter-inch along each edge, to protect the corners. Because this occurs in both directions to accommodate the two types of cards, either type you put in also has the quarter-inch of cards at front and back lower than the rest.

The slightly smaller large box came out (in our area) a long time ago about the same time as the Decipher Star Trek CCG first appeared, with MtG going strong. It holds poker size cards on their sides and so is an inch less tall. It doesn't seem to have the drawbacks of the larger one. It is harder to find but many of our WalMart stores have it back in the cards section of the toys area - but not in the trading cards section near the front.

I've tried to figure out who you contact at Plano about ideas, without success. They should make a two card-sized compartment version of the smallest one with a narrow third compartment between the others that could hold 5 or 6 dice or a couple of short pencils. This would allow for a single center clasp with the necessary aligned indent on the lower part placed between the card compartments. The alignment tab could be positioned to fall into that area as well. At three long the current one is just a bit too bulky for a lot of situations, where a two-parter would be much more practical.

The link on eBay you included above is for one of the larger ones - it looks like the smaller of the two large ones. 8.5 x 11 x 2.75

I've noticed the small three compartment box like you have was out of stock for several months at Target, but about 3 months ago started showing up in all our stores ($2). However they all seem to be coming from two molds, both of which have rough spots along some edges which my boxes from several years ago do not have.

This might be an indication that the molds are getting old. They all used to carry the Jammers branding, so I don't know why the contact person in another reply would have only mentioned two. Perhaps they have worn out the molds and discontinued this small model.

Our Target stores usually have 4-6 at any given time. To get 20 one would have to hit a bunch of them. There is a Target on-line presence. I don't know what their delivery area is outside the US. Have you thought of getting someone in the states to pick some up and send them to you?

I found an eBay seller who sold them by the case (6 in each case). So I picked up four of them. I'm not sure how many of my card games that will hold - but I'm guesstimating about thirty or forty of 'em. I'll take pictures and post them once I get them in and fill 'em up.

Tom, mind telling me who the ebay seller is? I might want to get some myself. Thnks

Hi everyone!! I know this post first started on Thu Jul 27,2006 07:24 am by: Tom Vasel but I am so excited right now I had to reply! To make a long story short I have been collecting Basketball trading cards for about 4 years. I have been searching since day one for storage boxes that are affordable etc... The cardboard boxes get very exspensive and they care get really messed up etc.... I am sick of using shoe boxes etc... I truely thought it was time to give up on my searching until I went to a Target Store yesterday and HOLY MOLY I found 2 storage boxes. They only had 1 of each left so I grabbed them up! When I got home I noticed there was a website address on the box label, well after searching every inch of the site I never found the items. But I was so determined to find more info on them I went to Google search and oh my I searched for almost 2 hours UNTIL I ran across a SEARCH RESULT that took me to this forum and this original question. It was approx. 2:00am EST time and I was ready to shout from the roof top "YES YES I found information!!!!!!!!" After reading every single reply clicking on everyones helpful links etc.... I decided to go back the companies website and send a email to there Customer Service Dept. As soon as I got up today I checked my emails and YES YES they had replied. They recommended that I call them so I hoped on the phone. I got all the information and wanted to make sure I posted it in hoping that this will help alot of others out there. I did learn one big thing to share "BUY FROM THE COMPANY not RETAIL STORES, EBAY etc...." I about fell off my chair when the lady told me how much they charged and what I had spent the night before at Target. OK here is the info on the company & boxes!!!! !!

As of April 2008 only the larger Jammers are still available from Plano

In case anyone else is interested in these card holders, Plano customer service told me that the smaller size is not longer made or in stock. You can still get the larger ones by calling 800-226-9868 Monday thru Friday 8am to 4pm central time.

I can personally attest that the larger boxes (the 8 x 11 x 4s) are AWESOME...they hold literally hundreds of cards but leave them very accessible, easy to flip through and to pull out.

I know I sound like I work for the company, but man, seriously, these things are ultra nift.

Just a quick note...anyone else notice that model 5325 apparently has FOUR measurements? I knew they were cool, but apparently this thing has dimensions I'm not even using...

I'll call tomorrow to check it out, but does anyone know if the Plano 5325 boxes are still available?

I just got off the phone with them. They are currently out of stock of the #5325 (thought it is apparently still in production. They did have the #5305-02, at $2.31 apiece. I picked up a case of 'em for $21, including shipping and tax, which is not bad, considering that getting only one of them at the local Meijer will cost you five bucks.

(Dave, let me know if you need any. I'm sure I'll have more than I really need for my card collection.)

Can you post a picture of them when you get them, please?

I just want to confirm as of early May 2009 that this same process and these same boxes work just fine. I called the Plano number listed above and talked with a nice woman who conveyed that they were out of the Card Storage Boxes (#5305) that week and I should call back a week later when they had manufactured some more. I did, and they indeed had them in stock, so I ordered a box of a half dozen for the same price listed above, and they arrived a few days later. Very handy! (For Magic or any card game....)

Thanks again,

David G.

Ugh. Broken links. Expired eBay links. Let me take Wanda's post and reformat and add to it:

They have 3 diffrent Card Collector Cases for sale

#1) Item #5303 it's 8.25 X 4.25 X 1 inch. 3 Compartments. Holds 1000 Jumbo cards or 2000 Standard. Quanities of 6. Each one is $1.00.

#2) Item #5305 it's 10.5" X 8 X 2.75 inch. 5 Compartments. Quanities of 6. Each one is $2.00. It looks like this would hold Dominion cards horizontally.

#3) Item #5325 it's 11-3/16 X 8.5 X 3-7/8". 6 Compartments. Quanities of 6. Each one is $2.25. It looks like this would hold Dominion cards vertically.

I got the person there to fax me the descriptions with the images. It is a terrible fax, almost unreadable. I will try to scan it and put it up here, but it is almost worthless except for the drawings.

I am thinking I may order 6 of each of the larger boxes just to take pictures of them and then sell the extras at BGG.CON. Ah, but they are out of stock on all 3 types. I got my name on the calling list, but she tells me they only make them once or twice a year. Sigh.
