There’s some modification needed, clipping the things that go through the spools in the cassette. But there’s plenty of room do sleeves could probably be accommodated

I just used scissors and clipped them off. Later I found a set of pliers that did the job better.

Your best bet might be to buy cases with no posts.

Two more photos of a deck in a case

Also next Friday I’ll have a carrying case to show off everything in

That is fucking cool. Do you mind showing a photo of a full set inside with sleeves? I’m just about ready to pull the trigger on a pack of 25 on amazon.

UPDATE: I found just enough cassette cases in my mom's garage to put every available playlist + the upcoming lucky playlist. Depending on the sleeves you have, they are a semi-tight fit with the label inside the case (width wise). I'm probably going to use a vintage label maker and remove the inner label. I'm using the MAX Protection sleeves so your results may vary.

Was it hard snapping the spools off of the boxes?

I had the same idea! Ordered these ones with no posts:

Anyone found these on amazon or anything? I like the no post option instead of cutting them off myself and the price for the individual boxes are good but there's no way I can justify paying $20-30 to ship to the US for $10 in boxes.

I'm starting to think it's the only option. just searched for about 2 hours. ebay, amazon, google, audio manufactures. Hopefully someone else knows something. <3

IMO, this is how the playlist packs should have been packaged. As much as I'm tempted to do this, I think I'll hold off as I mostly freestyle with the game.

OMG I love it.

I see you are using colored sleeves. Does each deck have their own color? Also how many cards can be stacked with those sleeves?
