Turbo Plastic

[o.pwuaioc]

I'm doing the once unthinkable and considering selling off all my Turbo cases (the plastic ones, not the cardboard; I already do not have any cardboard) or raffling the ones I won in raffles (if needed).

I ended up with a few homeless hueys now, and I'm starting to consider chucking cases in order to save space. So, my question is twofold:

Is it worth the money to shell out the cash to rehome the hueys? Even while I'm running out of space?

What should I do with them once the cases are gone? What are the best storage options?

I was thinking of something like card sleeves, which is where I keep my Game Boy games, but I also really like the fact that my Lynx and Game Gear games are in portable carrying cases.

Thoughts?

I think it's fun to have the cases to HuCARDs.

Maybe something like this business cardholder could work if you end up getting rid of your cases.

That case reminds me of the time when I had two boxes of IBM floppies... As well as another two boxes of Amiga floppies. The Amiga ones could be easily distinguished, since all of them had handwritten labels but the workbench disk.

I keep all my loosies in small, clear pcmcia cases. Someday I'll make little printed labels for the sides and maybe little cover graphics...someday.

Haven't heard that in a while. I remember using the network pcmcia cards back in the day. Man that was an old laptop only had a built in modem port lol.

I would say keep the cases personally, just stick them in an attic or something as you may want them later.

I just keep my loosies in a stack, but I've heard talk about using baseball card or business card sleeves.

Maybe you would be better served with just a Turbo Everdrive considering your situation.

You mean the roof of my apartment building?  :oops:

I live in a small New York studio, so space is tight. My wife wouldn't be happy to have them "stored" somewhere, although if I do store them, say, under the bed, I still have the problem of what to do with the loose cards.

Lol, I understand.  I live in a house and still have storage issues.

I suggest you put a shelf all around your living room / kitchen / bedroom, about five inches down from the ceiling (just enough to clear a jewel case).  Think of it as the world's awesomest crown molding.

His "situation" being that he's an OCD nutjob. I agree totally.

Have you considered a 3 ring binder with collectible card slits? I have been considering this but I only have one loose huey, the other 6 games I have a CIC, but I doubt the new games I pick up will all have cases as a cost choice.





These have a slot on the front to add pictures/art to, perfect spot for a OBEY image

I've been thinking of doing this for my portable games for a while now, but have them in boxes right now, which is difficult to browse.

You might not want to do that either:

Interestingly enough, I am working on some case designs for PMCIAT2 cases. I'll post piccies laturr~
