<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3617684, member: 77639"]Whitman blue plastic boxes: Have top and bottom padding, which reduces rattling. Hold newer PCGS slabs so tightly that the last three slots on each end cannot be used. Putting newer PCGS slabs in other slots expands the sides a bit, which makes the lid fit so tightly that it is difficult to remove. Can put slabs diagonally with a one slot offset, but then you give up one slot and it looks weird. Hold NGC slabs very tightly in the end slots and firmly in the others. Fins on the slots are too short to keep old green PCGS slabs from twisting out of position.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've pretty much given up on plastic slab boxes.

The shorter boxes are handy for transport and storing in more confined spaces.
