TG-16 Games Complete Question

[Necromancer]

I also bought Sparky's Keith box (Magical Chase too), and I have dozens of boxes from games bought new back in the day or cheap off ebay, used but CIB for a price comparable to CIC, or as loose boxes for cheap from forum members.  I'd like to have 'em all, but I won't pay hundreds of dollars for any of 'em or fret if I never acquire more.

PCE owners do not have that as a concern

They just worry about obi's..... and boxes for Forgotten Worlds, Pachiokun, 3x3 Eyes, etc.

I like PC Engine style cases with manual and HuCard. I also like uniformity. So for pre-TTi releases that I didn't have cases for, I put Sparky labels on spare cases. Mostly damaged or super common/cheap game cases. For the rest which never came with cases, I use Aaron's 3D printed cases with Sparky labels. For missing manuals, I print out the front/back cover and fold it in half. To keep things consistent and games clean and to not worry about keeping track of original sleeves, I'm only using Seymor's new sleeves.

I have a couple CD games without original tray liner/inserts. But I feel the same about having PC Engine style games on cases, so I'm not realky concerned about cardboard boxes. I have several boxes, mostly from sealed games I've opened, but do not have plans to collect 'em all.

I'm planning on organizing my Turbo games and keeping TurboChips in cases soon. For the past 30'ish years though, I've kept HuCards loose in stacks for the most part. I couldn't tell you at any given time where Magical Chase is, only that it's definitely slevveless on a stack somewhere.

This describes my approach exactly (accept for the MC part). 

Around here most folks refer to a game as "Complete in Case" (CIC) meaning no outer box or "Complete in Box" (CIB).  depending on when it was released CIB may or may not include a jewel case

I can say, of all the bs I've collected, that Sparky Keith Courage box is easily one of my favorite things, and as far as cash value, probably worth the least. I love it though. I often just take a few moment to look and admire it. Hahaha. Great great work there Spark! Once, it fell off the high shelf that I put it on, and it crushed my heart until I was certain everything was okay. Hahaha. I think I've somehow come to feel that box is representative of the love I have for the game!
