Displaying loose Game Boy games?

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

Also, I thought someone had made some cartridge sleeves at some point. 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.

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.

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.

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.
Oops forgot this link

Only thing about the binders is that the loops on those plastic pages break pretty easily when they get weighty and used.

I never ran into an issue with these ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Ult...Ultra+Pro+Platinum+series
Granted i was toting around a few hundred cards per binder not a few hundred carts...
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 :'(
