Guaranteed to be stronger than any of the boxes listed above so they are completely stackable up to 6 high AND all you have to do is open a drawer to get to to the contents.  You can also mix mags with slabbed comics if you don't have enough to fill one of the drawers.  Also holds more than any above.  4 for $44.00 plus shipping:

What box do you use to keep your grading comics?

 

BCW seems to have a nice on, but at almost $39 shipped seems super expensive

I just bought one of those last week. Yes, it's very expensive, but it's by far the best product I've seen for the specific purpose of storing slabbed comics. Very substantial in terms of weight and protection. They can be easily and safely stacked. I love the locking top. I will be using these for my more valuable slabs (north of $1,000 value per book). 

I used to use the corrugated plastic boxes from bagsunlimited. I am not a fan of cardboard. Doesn't matter if it's acid free or not.

I was looking at something a bit more, sexy and refined.

 

The BCW also doesn't have any padding, so I feel like the containers can get all dinged up and scuffed in there if they aren't handled gently.

 

I used to hold my books in Sterilite bins, with foam core and bubble wrap on the insides, something a bit more soft, but now I am in the market for a nice show piece, something that is pulled out and looks nice too. Something like a laminated bin perhaps?

Anybody run into issues with moisture issues since this is plastic?  I love the sturdiness of the box but it is expensive IMO.

I'm a convert to the BCW Graded Comic Bin (https://www.bcwsupplies.com/graded-comic-book-bin). These are stout, stackable, and appear plenty hardy.The built in grips are a heck of a lot more durable than the cardboard boxes, and the space for a notecard/label is a nice touch. I'm very pleased with them. Mileage may vary, as different book thickness & designs/models of slab, will dictate how many fit in a box. The included internal divider is nice for keeping books upright if the box is less than full, but I think it would have been nice to have a storage location at the front/rear for the divider if the box is full. Meh; my opinion, I could be wrong.
