Saving the Box

[Aaron.Williams]

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my card boxes, after about a week of having the cards, the box just basically falls apart. I always keep cards in my (front) pocket, since I do magic at school on a regular basis. I know that everyone is going to say, "GET A PROPER CARD CLIP!!!" but I don't have the money... yet. I'm doing a show pretty soon so I'll be able to afford it then, but in the meantime I need a way to keep my box in one piece for an extended period of time.
Thanks.

until getting a porper (AND YOU SHOULD) other than that this is what i would do. go to walmart and pick up a cheap deck of Plastic INVISIBLE cards. They come in a plastic case. much more sturdy than cardboard. You can keep your cards in that to travel

also metal tins are great. Check the TRADING card aisle near the front of the store, where the baseball cards and pokemon kinda stuff is, they have tins and stuff that might work.

Jrobarts05's advice is spot on. Recently, we have noticed a reduction in quality and thickness of USPCC tuck cases, and it was for that reason that we took quality up a notch in fabrication of the Sentinels. The Sentinel box is noticeably thicker than usual boxes and for that reason, it takes a little bit more abuse before it gives in.

That's a great idea! I never would've thought of that.

Cool. I've got some Sentinels sitting in my cart, I plan on getting them sometime this weekend.

I know you can buy the boxes at penguin magic and MJM magic but I think there like a buck fifty. I used to get them when they were much cheaper, like 35 cents.
