Many who read the forums can probably recall the posts I made about converting old TV into top loaded cards of my PC. As well, many are looking for ways to store their collection so her is the latest in a similar idea as the old TV.

I was driving home one day when I saw this older lime green 5-drawer small cabinet on the side of the road obviously free o anyone who wanted it. So I stopped and picked it up thinking possible card storage. I got it home, tested out the drawers for top loaders and finding it worked, proceeded to paint it blue and white. I put dividers into the top 4 drawers leaving the bottom drawer for oversized collectibles. The final touch up was to print off the 6 Toronto Blue Jays logos that have been used through their history. Here it is, the latest PC card storage in my collection room.

Each drawer can hold 750 top loaders so 3,000 card capacity. It will house all the Blue Jays players I collect in my PC starting with Cito Gaston, then Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, Tom Henke, Duane Ward, John Olerud, Roberto Alomar, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay, and the two latest, Guerrero Jr., and Bo Bichette.

Sorry about the blurry picture as it is still in a crowded spot and I was on the floor trying to get a full front pic.

Well, this sparks a new imagination on how to revamp my PC. So much better looking aesthetically than a bunch of 5k boxes. This one I can dig into. Nice set up.

Great work! Looks terrific. Looks like it's nice and easy to find things with the big drawers. My card catalog drawers are small so they are limited in space at times. How do you organize the cards within each player? I only have one guy in my card cataloge, Vlad Sr, he is moving into his fifth drawer now but many are out of order ad I have year dividers in and early on I put them all in in TCDB order but they got a little hard to keep up with and that's a side project for this year...

Nice work. Sure beats my converted Amazon and repurposed USPS priority boxes. I still prefer your converted TV, though. 

That looks really cool!

Very cool Bruno. Simple, yet effective and with a small amount of effort and $$. As jimetal7212 stated, definitely more aesthetic.

Love this!  I'm actually looking for something that I could use to store my Utah Jazz collection.  Even if I had to make some drawer modifications and stuff that would be a fun project and an easier way to store all the cards.  Thanks for the inspiration and ideas.

Love it! What a great idea. 👍 

Excellent Idea and it keeps the collection neat and tidy. What did you use as dividers for the drawers?

I like it. When I was a kid I used one of my dresser drawers to store my collection.
