These looked pretty good.

Anyone recognize the style of case or bought from this dealer?

Anyone recommend an alternative?

I'm not looking to airlock sealed SNES games into a hard plastic case.
I'm storing opened mint CIB SNES games, but still have the plastic wrap around the box. Games that I will probably never open again, unless I sell them.

25 for $19.99?
His prices go down the more you order.
50 for $39.99.

Less than a $1 per case is acceptable to a new collector like me?

I'd pay that. I'd just make sure I ordered a shit ton.

go to the nintendo age forums, guy there sells the same shit cheaper, and if he doesnt look around the thread the link to the place where he bought em (still cheaper if u buy from him cause he passes the block savings on).

edit: they're probably the best thing if u want to keep the boxes, theyre actually pretty sturdy. The joints are definately locked but if you open and close them way to much the flap will break off (i mean a lot, not to take it out and show every once in a bit but if u open and close it every day itll happen)

The Ebay seller and the NintendoAge guy are the same person... he does sell them a little cheaper on NintendoAge.. I've heard that they are great..

Alot of game rental places around me used to use these for their n64 boxes so they wouldnt get crushed being handled on the shelf. I wonder who the actual supplier of these cases is and what they cost if ordered directly.

I have been looking for a convenient storage solution myself with no luck.
The ones linked on eBay is not a good solution IMO as they are not really the right size. If I wanted my games protected without my elevated discern for aesthetics I would have gone with the ziplock-bag solution for a fraction of the price. No, what I'm looking for is a western version of these, although I don't actually know if these ones are acid free:

I didn't see the 25 for $19.99....

I thought it was only for one

I ran upon this site a while back and have been searching frantically for it since then, as I forgot to bookmark it. Thank you SO much.

I use these cases for my N64 and SNES games. I picked up a huge lot of them from an old video store that was closing down and I absolutely adore them. I've been looking for a place to get more of them as well so thanks so much for that link!

Yeah, those are Justabum's on NintendoAge.
He's a good guy. I bought about 800 of these for my NES collection.
