When you get a BCW Comic Book or Magazine Bin, it will come as a set of panels that need to be snapped together. It can be a bit confusing the first time you do this, but becomes much easier on later builds. The How To videos for the Short Comic Bin, Long Comic Bin, Graded Comic Bin, and Magazine Bin are all below, although the assembly process is identical for all of these bins.
How the pandemic and professional grading have made ticket stub collecting more popular than ever.
By Sal Barry
While trading cards may always be number one among sports memorabilia enthusiasts, ticket stub collecting has gradually heated up over the past two years. It has done so for two reasons. The COVID-19 pandemic and grading companies have both made collecting physical ticket stubs more popular than ever. However, digital ticketing may erode some of that enthusiasm – but maybe not for long.
BCW Supplies is excited to welcome Jeremy D. Bonfiglio as our Music Category Manager. Jeremy will assist vinyl record collectors, record stores, and record show vendors with finding the best solution to protect, store, and display their record collection.
If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on your shelves. The IKEA-style shelves (pictured below) or wire rack shelves (pictured further below) are effective solutions for card box storage.
So, what card boxes are best for your card collection? There are a few things to consider before you buy card boxes or shelves. Will your cards be stored loose, in toploaders, in magnetics, or other card holders? Will you have any graded cards? How many cards are in your collection? Whatever the answer, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.
Before you purchase card boxes, consider how they will fit on your shelves. We provided examples below to demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves. The wire shelves we used are 36 inches wide by 16 inches deep.
BCW also offers small card boxes, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.
Card Catalog on IKEA Shelves
The Six-drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IEKA or similar shelving but can also lock together with other units to create a modular system. Using the catalog with an IKEA Kallax lets you find cards easily, as you don’t have to physically maneuver boxes. This makes it a perfect setup for someone with a large collection they access regularly.

BCW offers a wide variety of boxes to store your comic books, gaming cards, sports cards, card holders, records, and other media such as video games and dvds. If you have never folded one of these boxes on your own, the first time you fold them can be somewhat confusing. Since there may be some question about the proper way to fold these boxes, we have created videos for each one of our boxes, which includes information about what the boxes store and how to fold them. If you are having trouble folding these boxes or aren’t sure which box you need, check out these videos:
The opinion of The Professor at Tolarian Community College is trusted by many players in the Magic: The Gathering community. He discusses Magic set releases, Commander decks, supplies, and more. He has reviewed several BCW products over the last few years. Some reviews are below, or visit The Professor’s Youtube channel for all of his videos.
In 2021, The Professor gave the Prism Deck Case an “A” grade. Prisms are part of BCW’s Spectrum brand of gaming products, which includes board game products. Prism Deck Cases are sized to hold 100 double-sleeved cards. They are available in eight colors, and have a matte finish. These are a two-piece, snap-together design.
A Modular Sorting Tray is made by combining individual card cells to form a grid sized for your needs. The cells are connected with strong dovetail joints. These trays are normally used for card sorting projects, and organizing cards while playing board games. However in the hands of a hobby shop, Modular Sorting Trays are excellent merchandising tools. Since whole trays are made by combining individual cells, the store can create a tray that’s the ideal size for their shelf, display case, or convention table. The base of each card cell can be moved from a flat “storage mode” to an angled “display mode”. This angled display mode makes a beautiful presentation of the cards.
The card cells in a Modular Sorting Tray are large enough to accommodate toploaders, magnetics, and semi-rigid #2s. Above, the Baseball Card King used a tray for display-case-worthy cards in SR2s.
