    Default Where can I find some empty PS1 long boxes?

    I recently found a few PS1 game discs with long box manuals at a thrift store for cheap, and I'm trying to find the long boxes to complete them. Not having any luck on ebay, any other places I should try?

    Yea I was thinking that, but then they would still be incomplete lol. I think all the games I found have card board long boxes, at least from what I've found out from searching them on ebay.

    You can find out what kind of long boxes your games had by checking here:

    Although with some games, they actually manufactured more than one type, and I'm not sure if there's a way to tell what type of case your copy originally came in based off of the disc and manual.

    The only problem is that they would be incomplete without the inserts, and some come in printed cardboard boxes as mentioned previously. There are a couple box+disc longboxes at my local PnT if you're interested in completing them - Cyberspeed (cardboad) and NHL Powerplay?? (plastic)

    All three of those are cardboard boxes to my knowledge.
