Storing GB GBA games.

[icemanxp300]

Ok so my cart only GB and GBA collection is really annoying me at the moment lol. I need them off my nice shelves hogging boxed display shelf space. I am thinking of getting a binder for them and using the plastic sleeves. I read before they work well.

 

I know I don't need 100 sheets but they are the cheapest at under $.19 each. I could buy 50 for $.26 each.

 

These would be perfect for GBA games which are about 1 3/8 by 2 3/8

Now these for GB games might be a tad tight? GB games are 2 1/4 and just a tad over 2 1/2

Anyone have these 12 pockets and can confirm they will stretch for a gb gbc game?

 

Actually what I might do is just buy the 15 pocket ones and see if I can easily separate the joints for a GB game to slide in.

 

I think I am just going to go w/normal 9 pocket. I can fit 9 GB games easily and I can double up GBA games and get 18 2 in each pocket.

I switched from these sheets to these:

 

 

 

 

I use them now for all handheld games (GB/GBC/GBA and NGPC) plus they're the perfect size for Turbografx cards, which I keep safe in these:

I use an antique card wood two drawer card catalog. It's wide enough I can throw in two columns of GB, GBC, or GBA games per drawer and it's pretty deep so it holds quite a lot, yet looks pleasing in the room as you'd never know it was Gameboy storage.

Mine are in an old Atari binder with baseball card sleeves. The GB and GBC cartridges fit without being too tight.

I tried the sleeves, and kept them in a binder, but got tired of occasionally accidentally turning the page upside down and a bunch falling out.

 

I ended up getting foam board from the dollar store (about 1/8 inch thick) and used a box cutter to cut out squares just a tad smaller than a GB (or GBA) game, so when I push one in, it fits real tight and stays in there.

 

It fits about 9-12 carts on a single 8.5x11 inch page, which then fits nicely into a regular page protector, about 5 or 6 pages per binder, for the binders I use. Pretty efficient, space-wise, but still really easy to flip through and look at all the games where they stay put. Plus, I can put notes and literature into the binders.

I get what you are saying but not sure I would like having to take the whole Styrofoam sheet out to get a game. I would think they could fall out of the Styrofoam as well? I went out and purchased 100 9 pocket earlier for $16.xx. I am going to take your idea and modify it a tad. I am just going to slide the 9 pocket sleeves inside the page protector (I just tested it). Yes the page could slide out but I will see if they sell something less slick or with snaps or maybe I can just add snaps? I'll have to see what they sell.

 

I could always just add foam to each pocket as well and then the games would not slide out. That actually sounds like a better idea.
