Ok, folks, Ashy and I had a conversation about this last summer and why it's taken us so long to get back to this is beyond me. Ashy is a very busy man, so the fault lies on me for not posting the pictures sooner. For that, I apologize. So, let's get to it.

If you're like me, you've had to get pretty creative with card storage. Some of us use binders and sleeve pages, others use penny sleeves and boxes. Storing Untold cards requires as much creativity sometimes as actually playing the game.

Anyways, back on subject, last summer in all of the con craziness, my wife and I were spending some down time at my folks house. My mom, a nurse, had brought home some samples from a drug rep in this nifty plastic box. She had no use for it and was going to throw it out when Jennifer pointed out that it was almost the exact length and width of an Untold card in a penny sleeve, which I use to store my Untold cards. It closes with dual latches.

After looking at it and playing with it, even dropping the box a few times on the floor and shaking it around, I determined it would be a great box for housing cards. Especially for a single character deck, or cards for a specific campaign. It holds around 100 cards +/-, and is very sturdy. Would think it would be semi water proof and pretty resilient, although I wouldn't drop it in a pool or run over it with my car.

Anyways, thought it looked like a nifty little storage device for Untold. The company that makes them has a website here, where they offer a variety of different shapes and sizes and at reasonable prices.

So, what do y'all think? Hope you find this helpful...

Yeah...

Storage is becoming a problem for me. I don't want to give up that nifty box from last summer that everyone so admired, but its run out of room. I need something else but everything else I've tried has proved inadequate...

Hi, this is my first post

Hi, this is my first post here, I was going to lurk around for a while to see what I could learn, but I saw the box pic and couldn't help myself. I'm really addicted to those little boxes - I use them for all my game storage needs. I realize the original post is fairly old, but if anyone is trying to track these down, the're called "Really Useful Boxes" My local office supply store (Staples) carries them in many different sizes. If you can't find them locally, here is the supplier's web site: http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/usa/
