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. Will your cards be stored loose, in toploaders, in magnetics, or in other card holders? Will you have any graded cards? How many cards are in your collection? Whatever the answer to these questions, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs. 

Before you get your card boxes, you might have questions about how the boxes will fit on your shelves. To demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves, we provided examples below. The wire shelves we used are 36″ wide by 16″ deep. 

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

Card Catalog on IKEA Shelves 

The 6 Drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IKEA shelving but also locks together with other units to create a modular system. Using the catalog with a 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.
