mjarnold7 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Any good ideas how to store my Intellivision overlay collection? Looking for like a binder with pages that they will fit in.....Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think I have a ton of brand new binder pages that work perfectly for overlays. I have my Intellivision, 5200 and ColecoVision overlays stored in them. Each page holds 9 overlays, and they work with regular 3-ring binders. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do, I would love to get rid of some of them!! I will go hunt for them soon. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I also use baseball card sheets (9 per page). I'll have to upload some pics. I think I pay $0.20 per page for these. Great, now I need to hunt for and collect Jaguar overlays too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 +1 for baseball. Add holders. I have. Even using them for 20 years since I got rid of all of my boxes. Durable and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I keep mine in the boxes with the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I keep mine in the boxes with the games. As do I, tucked into the manual for each game. But I've been wanting to collect a spare set for every game for actual use and as backups so this is a great idea for storage so I don't have to open the boxes everytime. Saves wear on the box flaps for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves wear on the box flaps for sure. I just leave the top of the flaps open on my shelf, so that reduces wear on them. A spare set is always good for sure...

Mine are all in the plastic box holders but I have extra carts for the more common games I play the most like Deadly Discs and Burgertime so that keeps me from having to go into them a lot. I'd say of the 125 I only play about 15 of them regularly but if I decided to get extra overlays I might as well try to complete an entire set of extras just in case. I think of all the original overlays that were released I am only missing River Raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I collect spare overlays as a nice way to display all of them in a compact book. I also collect major overlay variants (there are too many variations to attempt all the minor variants). I collect overlays for other systems, but I don't have too many yet.

TrekMD Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I keep mine stored in plastic boxes that are meant for storing small office items. I've found the perfect size for the Intellivision and Jaguar overlays and I just keep them there. Not was convenient when you want to see them and select them but they are well protected.

BassGuitari Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Some photos: ..Al I've actually thought about doing something similar with manuals, with sheets that are bisected horizontally across the middle for (most) game manuals and regular sheets for larger ones like my Sears Heavy Sixer system manual. Somehow it never occurred to me to do this with overlays as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
