also, PCMCIA card cases fit HuCards like a glove!


YES! just tried this when i got home from work. A PCMCIA card case i have fits 2 hucards like it was designed for them. One or two of these cases will do PERFECTLY for what i need.

Im also now planning on picking up one of the smaller 4-card-per-page sports card binders for my loose cards. I dont have the badass collection some of you guys do, so that will be perfect for now.

Finally got around to scanning the PC Denjin booklet. I would love to get ahold of one of these cases.

Cozzie, when are you gonna post more pics of the neat stuff you have?

For the record, that looks like a wallet to me... am I wrong? Business-card holders can hold HuCards, so...

Hi Steve,
Yes it is a wallet but it has case inside for about nine hu-cards.
You can check alot of my collection here but it needs to be updated as I bought quite a bit more stuff and I have also completed my Limited edition Sega Dreamcast collection.

The actual kana in yellow says:
HA-DO-SHI-N [kanji kanji],   ie: Hudson . .
KA--DO KE--SU   ie: card case

Which isnt to say its not a wallet also, but i'd have to say its a hucard case foremost :)

Hu card case

It is more of a wallet than a Hucard case as it has a little pocket inside with a zipper to keep small change in.

hmmm heheh *cough*

don't you have any credit card holders that you can use ??

This is an oyster card (monthly/yearly public transport card) holder we use here in London.. it can hold about 3 cards.  although I would never hold my HUcards in that XD

I know, I suggested this in my first post, but nobody followed up on it (until your post). Now, unlike your pictures, I would have inserted the HuCards the opposite way (to prevent my grubby fingers touching the pins, but that's just me :) ).

Anyway, I think I found a really nice balance between HUGE binders (inconvenient to lug around) and mini-cases (that only hold a handful): re-cycle that old Day-Runner (or its generic "Planner" equivalent) that you don't use anymore. They're perfect: waterproof and padded over a hard shell binder. Zip it up and don't worry if you drop it -- they take tons of abuse.  I was packing up all my PCE stuff a few days ago and I needed a place for my loose HuCards (Tricky Kick is included in the photos to indicate scale):



The business-card / credit card plastic sleeves fit the HuCards snugly, so you don't have worry about them sliding out, BUT don't expect to cram a Populous, SFII', or Tennenoke Bank in one of them (you can put over-sized HuCards in the "zippered" bag that comes standard. I am going to purchase another pack (or two) of these plastic sheets so I can carry an even larger selection of games to my friends'. 5 sheets = 15 games, and this case can easilly hold 45 games, I reckon.

You might be able to find old Day-Planners at the thrift shop, so I'd check it out. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay a few dollars for extra plastic sleeves (although they are pretty standard).

This just came to mind - I don't suppose you have access to the plastic casing that normally encases the instruction card for an RSA SecurID token?  They're perfect size as well, though just a relatively thin layer of plastic.

I don't know how I missed this thread lately, but damn all of these HuCard holders people have posted are nice! I really loved that Bomberman wallet / HuCard holder, I would love to have one :) !

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
