Storage Case for game counters

[Urklore]

I been scearching on Ebay and the net for many moons now. Anyone know a good place to buy ANY sort of cases, containers, storage case, etc for the zillion of cardboard game counters I have (car wars, battlesystem, etc)?

Glad plastic storage containers or Tupperware. Both are cheap and readily available. I currently use the Glad containers.

It's a perennial problem. Our group's latest attempt at storing/sorting counters involves hard cases used with CCGs and baseball cards. These can then be stuck into cardboard "long boxes."

This system hasn't gone through a full shakedown yet, but looks promising.

Last week, my wife bought a floss organizer at one of her cross-stitch shops that looked ideal for just this purpose. Basically, it looks like a stack of Ziploc bags, with two 2" rings through the other side to keep them together. Only a couple of dollars.

I have all the counter sets/packs but modern and I use 3X5 poly bags in a box made for 4 X 6 index cards. I bought an alphebetical 4 x 6 dividers to go in it. Take a marker and rwrite the name of the counter on outside and file. It was cheap, sturdy and I got everything at an office depot. The only hard part, which actually isn't hard, is I keep the very few counters too big for a bag in the back of the box (like 6 of them) and I keep individual/unique counter's seperated by race all the way in the back of the dividers.

I can open the box, pull out counters leave the packets on top so I don't have to hunt for them to put them away and I'm ready. You could even make a bag with counters for each encounter so you can pick them out before hand. just have 2-3 bags marked encounter # 1 etc. Useful when it is more than 2-3 creatures. I also keep any animals that would be summoned handy as well.

Just what works for me

A tackle box with adjustable dividers might work for you too.

In addition to the floss organizer that's a bunch of plastic bags with a ring, they make floss organizers that are basically a box with dividers. I used a similar box to keep all my counters for the original Talisman game separated.

I should have been more specific, I meant something that could organize. I may be telling my age here, but back in the day you could buy these plastic cases (very popular for all those car wars or mini TSR game counters that had to be organized), with small little compartments and that also had a plastic lid to keep them safe. Ahhh, back in the day.........

I'm using a book that's originally meant to hold business cards to hold my D&D counters, keeping counter types together with paper clips.

I keep mine in old 5.25" or 8" Floppy boxes
