Calling all carboard collectors!

[wolfman]

Lets not shift off topic here folks.  In my collection I have a little more than 40 game boxes and boxes for all the hardware that I own.  I'm not that interested in stuff like NES or SNES boxes but I do have a few.  I do like having hardware boxes though and I have the boxes for my NES, Genesis, SNES, N64 and the other newer systems that I have.

Alright then,  since my collection is based mainly on PCE games, I can honestly say that I certainly do not own more than 6 CIB games, 3 of them still in unopened shrink wrap. I do wish I would own more, especially I am missing a complete box for my "Lords of the Rising sun", as I really love the box cover art on that one...

Upon checking the vault, I see I was a bit off.  I've got sixty Turboxes, one box/sleeve thing for Circus Lido, and two boxes for booty hueys.

I have a love hate issue with most cardboard stuff.  I love it because it's part of the original packaging, I hate it because it's cardboard just falls apart over time.  Turbo stuff is a nice exception because the game in the case came in an outer box, so without the box it's still nice and complete and not sitting loosy goose.

That said, I love Sega stuff because they had the foresight to use nice plastic clamshells for a very long time.  Clamshells are durable, look nice and are very easy to swap around in most cases if you want a replacement.

I've got a bad case of the collectard. I think I have 65 TG game boxes and most of the hardware boxes.

By the way, what exactly is "carboard".  Are you looking for people like Byron and his radical woodie wagon?

YES!

Ok, if you're gonna collect boxes, having a retail display makes it worth it.

Is that an N64 game photobombing the OBEY?

+1 for a TurboGrafix 16 display that they should have had in the 90's. Great variety. Collectard or not, doesn't matter here, this is great example. Variety of stuff to be had. Never came into reality, unfortunately.

P.S. you are a moron and an idiot to display your wares like that, all in the open. First of all u are a moron because u are showboating yer cardboard on a forum where people live these games.

#2 u are just clueless. Wake up and realize that no one cares.

All of my games have cardboard boxes. This was because A video rental store let me have their stock, and the cardboard boxes were shrink-wrapped and used for a person to bring to a counter in order to rent a game. The games were kept behind the counter.

I opened a lot of the empty boxes to find out what was jingling around in them. It was a store alarm sticker with the wax paper backing still on, it wasn't stuck to the cardboard inside. This alarm decal was so no one would walk out with a box and steal the box. Without a box, it's a bit more difficult to rent a game.

Also inside, were all the pack-in papers - Turbo gear catalog, usually.

After that, for any other used games I wanted, I just made sure to buy it with the box. However, by then, I had nearly all the game sin boxes since when I bought TG-16 games, I saved the boxes anyway.


I did throw out a box for my Turbo Booster. It was beat-up to begin with, being Toys 'R Us old clearance, red price tags and all. It just got more beat up as I had it. It was horrible looking, so I chucked it in the trash.

I bought a Car Adapter for my TurboExpress.  I was shipped to me inside the original NEC box from the factory.  Nice white box with a flip lid that held 4 Car Adapters at one time.  Nothing special about it, but it was cool to see it and it's in really good shape.
