Alternative to HuCard Sleeves and Display Storage Box for US Game Boxes

[MotherGunner]

$3 shipped per sleeve on ebay.  http://cgi.ebay.com/TurboGrafx16-Hu-Card-TurboChip-Sleeves-VERY-RARE-/190469438825?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item2c58dcfd69

...for the same price you can get 100 of the CD Business Card Sleeves shipped USPS.

It's an alternative for those who may want it.

Those ones on Ebay he says are OEM which means "original equipment manufacturer" but they clearly don't look like original.  Right?

I like that book that hold business cards. I might try that! Great idea!

I actually had a few games with the shorter flap so these could be in fact OEM.

I've seen many where the flap overlaps on one side a little more and I've seen the rarer ones with binder holes but I never saw ones with even cut flaps like those on ebay. Good to know. But i still wouldn't pay that much. I will take loose Hucards in a shoebox any day of the week.

I think it depends how many games do you have loose. Is it just like 4? The OEM ones are totally worth it. Do you have 20 games loose...then ya I can see why. I used to use a badge holder and that worked pretty well, but definitely not the same.

I'm curious what a plastic box is going to protect a game from, exactly. Floods, pestilence, theft, lightning strikes, fire and earthquakes have just as good a chance of damaging a game regardless of whether or not it's in a plastic case. Unless the case is made of titanium or diamond and is waterproof/airtight I don't really see the point.

Seriously?  Sure floods, fires etc maybe an overstatement, but what about kids getting into a cupboard and getting their paws over it and crushing it.  C'mon there are plenty of things that could damage the box/game.  and yes a strong plastic case is going to help during an earthquake, trust me i know from experience.. A bit of protection is all im after.

Sounds like a locked cabinet is what you really need.

what happens if someone sells a game on ebay stating its complete and original and you get it in the mail and its a fake sleve?

They are very high quality. I would be happy instead of using an old dirty snot colored sleeve that I would have to use chemicals on.

Not a bad alternative.  A well-built barrister's bookcase would look nice and protect the games from little hands and crushing; and if you're really gung-ho, it could be fire-proofed with mineral fiber, intumescent tape, and ceramic glass.
