Typically I stay to the 2 row show boxes as the bulging of the box is to a minimum and I usually place one row of the cards in the box on a slight angle help the bulging of the box. I have herd and seen a box that holds the slabbed cards and these boxes do not bulge storing the cards with the team bags on them but I have yet to find these boxes in a local hobby shop.

RE: Storage Question
I hate to say it like this but there are bigger boxes. I put alot of my screw downs also in team bags because they fit nice and snug and are always ready to ship. The bags protect the screwdowns from scratching too which will alow for perfect scaning too. But dont use tight narrow dividers. They are built for cards without toploaders and screwdowns.

I've had trouble finding team bags to fit screw downs or one-touch holders. The regular size is too small, and the ones for graded cards are too big. What do you use and where do you get them if you don't mind me asking?

It also depends on what type of space you have with storing the boxes as the shuebox type is longer than the 5k or even 3,200k box and you'd need more as you fit less in them.
I use those for my pc.
Bulks out a little with hard plastic and team bag. But works..

RE: Storage Question
Just because we collect cardboard does not mean we need to store in cardboard.
This is the way i do it 500 count boxes, 4 per drawer. I tried magnetic holders, you can see by the picture that there is extra space.
My boxes I have to cut the tops off, but I use those for index cards after cutting them to the right size.
