Most of my TG-16 collection is complete but I have 6 loose hucards that don't even have the little plastic or vinyl envelope. What is the best alternative for storing and protecting hucards? I was told baseball card sleeves was one way. What do you do with loose hucards?
Thanks

you could use one of those deckbox thingies that kids store their trading card decks in (my brother had a few for his yu-gi-oh cards)

That's basically how I do mine up. I put them in some old Magic card sleeves, then into a box. If you only have 6 loose cards, they all should fit into one of those ultra pro deck boxes...maybe 2.

Since they're the same size as credit cards, actual wallets might be a decent solution, depending on how many cards we're talking about here.

I had about 30 or so loose tgcards so I just got a cheap 3$ card binder and a few card sheets and put em in the binder, looks nice and is an easy way to pick out the game you want to play without having to sort through the pile.

I own loose tg-16 cartridges myself.
I recommend a binder and baseball card sheets.

I use one of those hard plastic Magic: TG (or whatever it's called) boxes for loose TG-16 or Gameboy games - they fit nicely.

Count me as another person that loves the plastic cases for cards:

They come in different heights, and they're great for a lot of things - Game Boy games, HuCards, memory cards, you name it.

Buy a bunch of copies of Keith Courage and remove the inserts from the cases...

Business card holders.
I've got a little binder that holds business cards. hucards are the exact same size as business cards, so they work perfectly.
Seriously. Don't bother with baseball card sheet. Use business card ones. Staples has them.

That is a good idea. I might do that with my Lynx, PCE and GB stuff!

Dream tr had tg 16 manuals and I believe sparky has the spine stickers. Put them with a cd case and it works. A nice way to rebuild them. I know what you are feeling I have a ton of gba that I keep in a bag I wish I knew of a better way to keep them.

Here's the business card holder that I use. As you can see it looks pretty sharp :)

For shelf storage for my Lynx games, I took out the inner plastic piece of a CD jewel case and used a Dremel sander to cut out a chunk of space for the curved lip of the Lynx games to fit, and then I sanded down the center hub. Then I printed up end labels and sometimes even scanned in the box art and put that inside the jewel case. For the carts that didn't have the curved lip, I glued a layer of foam on the inside with the dimensions of a cartridge cut out in the middle. Then I could put my Lynx games in a regular CD rack and put the original boxes in storage. Maybe you could do something similar? Really, it wasn't difficult at all to do, and luckily my father already had a Dremel I could borrow, so all it cost me was the price of jewel cases. You might consider something along those lines.
