Collecting GB and GBA game boxes

[doctorfaustus]

Any one out there know of any ways to keep the gba and gb cardboard boxes protected. I am looking for something like those cases they use on baseball cards and other stuff. any other suggestions?

hmmm, I did not mean the carts, but the boxes, the cardboard ones. I found some cool rare ones and don't want to crush them or for the edges to wear out and such. I looked through google, but I only see the cart cases.
I was thinking along the lines of those plastic shells they use at Toys r us. but something more true to size.

I remember they used to sell N64 cart cases.... im sure if you cut out the things that held the cart in place that it would suffice for the boxes....

You could simply store your "rare" boxes in a plastic container (rubber maid) -- you wouldn't be displaying them for all the girls to marvel at, but they would be well protected. Oh and the upside is that girls wouldn't see them.

hehe, funny. A regular Billy Crystal.


Good advice.

On a related note. Anyone know any good websites for gameboy collecting. I've googled all over the place and can't find a good one. I guess nobody bothers collecting and preserving the jewels of the most successful handheld in all of gamedom.

Also, anyone know if there was a greatest hits sort of thing for GB games. I see some of them have a sort of gold tinted Gameboy logo on the left hand side while others have the original silver tinted background. Any thoughts.

meh, nobody cares huh?


EDIT: Nevermind I found out that the variant covers are indeed "Player's Choice/ Million Seller"

I stick mine under my dresser. If I need one I take the bottom drawer out and take it.

I have an enormous collection of complete in box GB games. I just keep them stored in a cabinet. I wish there was a way to protect them better! I don't know of any websites in particular, but as an aside, PM me if you're interested in some games. I'm selling quite a few.
