What Card Boxes Will Fit Best on Your Shelves?

If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on 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 on your shelves? There are a few things to consider before you buy card boxes or shelves.

Whatever the answer to these questions, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.

BCW offers small card boxes too, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.
