I'd want to keep most of the decks in their tuck cases, but a couple (Zombie and German Fluxx) would probably have to sit in the box loose, unless it's a wider box. I'd probably also put other card games (regular cards, Guillotine, etc.) in the box, too, if it's big enough. I figure there are enough card-based games out there that there oughta be a good solution already, but I'm not a really serious gamer and so wouldn't know where to start looking...
You're right in suspecting that solutions already exist. A wide variety of them are available, mostly intended for collectible card games, but useful for any types of cards. If you don't have a friendly local game store, try a friendly local sports-card store. These days they're well aware that gamers use their products, too. Solutions are available for numbers from dozens to thousands of cards, at price points from a couple dollars to a couple hundred dollars. If you ask for "boxes for storing a few hundred game cards" they should know what you mean. I am a big fan of the corrugated cardboard storage boxes that come flat and you fold up yourself. They are cheap, durable, and easy to decorate. -- Elliott C. "Eeyore" Evans eeyore@xxxxxxxx
