<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2899889, member: 10461"]Thanks. You're preaching to the already-converted as far as my being a Wizard customer. Somebody - think it was them - had an aluminum 30-slab box like the one I showed in the OP, but in two rows of 15, making it more rectangular than narrow. The only issue that stopped me from buying it (and it was on sale for a temptingly cheap price) was that it had a little hinged suitcase/briefcase handle mounted on top. While I think the box itself would've fit inside my SDB (assuming the same height as my present box), the handle part of it probably wouldn't have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good point about the Intercept boxes. I'll think about that. I'm thinking about some kind of rechargeable silica gel capsule, too. [USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] was talking about that a while back, I think. Some product called "EverDry" or "EverDri" or something like that? I'll have to investigate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I could always go with a box like the [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER] version in the OP.

After all, I stuck with a limit of 20 pieces for four years before this recent expansion to 25. That "Box of 20" limitation took discipline, but I think it resulted in a better collection over the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
