Title: Displaying loose Game Boy games? Post by: singlebanana on January 04, 2016, 04:25:53 PM I know this topic has been covered before and sorry to retread ground, but I can't find it. Just wondering how people display/store their Game Boy titles other than using baseball card sleeves/albums. I currently have mine in a plastic bin and I hate digging through it to find games.
Also, does anyone do custom end labels for these games? Thanks Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games? Post by: techwizard on January 04, 2016, 04:31:35 PM here's the last topic about it from page 2: http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=15902.0
some good suggestions there, at the moment i can't think of any other ideas beyond what's mentioned there. Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games? Post by: singlebanana on January 04, 2016, 04:37:37 PM Thanks Jamie! I must have just overlooked it...

Was this a dream? i remember that too but not where it came up...i'm fairly sure it was just the idea of using trading card sleeves though. Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games? Post by: retrosportsgamer on January 04, 2016, 11:11:52 PM This is like RFGen inception but the link to Noise's article in the thread linked above is a neat idea (golf ball display) except how do you not knock a whole bunch over when you try picking through them? They're like dominos in that scenario.
I don't have a good solution here fwiw, mine sit balanced against some GBA boxed games and stacked one in front of the other. Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games?

OatBob, one of our members, made sleeves for his VMUs for Dreamcast that could be used, and I've seen it multiple times over the years as custom works from DigitPress and NintendoAge. I know someone was selling them at one point, but I've not kept up with the Game Boy sleeves. Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games?

Title: Re: Displaying loose Game Boy games? Post by: Izret101 on January 05, 2016, 10:59:31 PM IMO card sleeves are best option.
99% sure someone on here used that option and tossed a bit of tape over the opening JUST in case. But i know when i was a kid once you got more than a few cards stuck into a single pocket they tended to not move anywhere.

Post by: singlebanana on January 05, 2016, 11:26:02 PM Only thing about the binders is that the loops on those plastic pages break pretty easily when they get weighty and used.

Binder size also makes a difference too. The rings will throw off how they rest inside the binder if it is too large or small. Nothing worse than finding something damaged because it got trapped under the ring :'( |
