The SHOCKING truth about Hu Card sleeves....
« on: November 10, 2013, 04:33:28 AM »
I just opened up a brand new Don Doko Don and to my amazement and disbelief I found out I've been living a lie.... All this time I have had my PCE games with the sleeve overlap on the bottom. When I get games used they are like 90% with the overlap on the bottom. But when I opened up this brand new game the truth was revealed to me  :shock:


So looks like I'm going to have to open all my games and flip the sleeves   #-o

I made a conscious decision bitd to use them the logical way, with the overlap on the bottom, so that you can slide the game out without flipping it over first.

I use scissors to cut the annoying, gratuitous hangnail of a flap on the sleeves.

Then, I realized that using the sleeves were annoying, so I tossed all my sleeves.

Now I just store HuCARDs loose.

 

Or in lace baggies.

 

STATUS: Recycling successful.

:shock:
I perfer to just put the cards in all willy nilly, you never know what you're gonna get that way, top or bottom.  :)

Little know fact, CD games came face down.  :^o

Okay that one isn't even remotely true, but that's how I keep my PCE-CD's so that when I open them I can see the excitement on my face for the enjoyment that is about to occur.  8)

Man we need a HuCARD as art thread. Esty probably can recycle enough pictures  :lol:

NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Seeing as how 95% of my hucards are loose, I had no idea this was even a thing.
