I buy used standard size CD cases for mine. I like making my own labels especially for the loose PC engine games so I can know the actual English name of the game.

I keep all of my HuCards loose or not in these UltraPro 4-Pocket collectors albums. I love the compact aspect of the format and the clunky CD cases totally negate that in my opinion. I keep the cases/manuals on hand but to be honest I'm tempted to throw away or sell the cases of my more common games.
Each albums holds 24 HuCards, the pages are sturdy, there are no rings, and the albums are about the height of a DVD case and just a little thicker so they fit well on a shelf with other games/movies. The 9 pocket binders just seem too big for me and these ones are only about $5 each.

Are those for baseball cards or business cards?

They are for sports/trading cards. So the HuCards are slightly loose in the pockets but just enough to easily get them in and out.

I found this box at work (somebody threw, not stolen  8) ) I use it to put inside my loose hu cards.
But I found better the albums you put along the thread... :clap:

I think a rolodex would be cool: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLODEX-INDEX-CARD-HOLDER-/150767531121?pt=UK_BOI_Office_Office_Supplies_Stationery_ET&hash=item231a71f471

Currently I have all my cards removed from their cases and under the TV, but now I want to figure out a way to make a massive replica HuCard that opens up to store the games.  I mean like a 5ft HuCard.  Any ideas?

This would be cool: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-Business-Card-Holder-Card-Case-white-metal-/120865646259?pt=Men_s_Accessories_UK&hash=item1c242766b3  One card only.

Bump - here's another idea:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolodex-Urban-Chic-72-Business-Card-Book-Red-B2JF-/350391883166?pt=UK_BOI_Office_Office_Supplies_Stationery_ET&hash=item5194fbd59e

Of course it's not guaranteed the Hueys would fit, but it would look nice.  I've tried and tried to find one in white, but I don't think they exist.

What I like about that case is the proportions - if you could paint it white (maybe bleach it?) You could paint it up to look like a HuCard.

And this one for CDs and maybe HuCards too:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/SLAPPA-CASE-PLATINUM-HOLDS-CDS/dp/B000FL9RQC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330683858&sr=8-3

I'll recycle this for the thousandth time (18-21 cards per case)

I use a Vaultz Media Binder with a zippered lock. It has handles for easy carrying. It is thick enough to stand on its own.


Here it is open. It has a mesh pocket where I keep my Kisado region adapter.



THAT IS BRILLIANT
It is what it is and it will be what it will be!

Looking for some games, but I will prolly never find.  Sapphire, Magical Chase (US)

I have been looking for another case like this so I can have 1 for US games and 1 for Japan games but I haven't had any luck finding one. The Vaultz website doesn't even sell them.

I wonder if anyone has one of these HuCard cases?



I snapped it from the PC Denjin manual. Apparently it's some limited edition present and the Japanese text there says there are four types including Bomberman, PC Denjin, Momotaro, and solid versions.

Must be very rare, I've never even seen one let alone a complete set!

I bet one of these days we'll see Thibaut selling them.  I don't know how he finds this stuff, but he ends up with all sorts of craziness.  That's pretty cool, btw.  I would love a Bomberman one.
