    I actually Agree with DJShock on this one... Baseball card holders are fuckin sweet! I can't believe no one else mentioned this...

    they come in all different sizes... 300/500/800.. I think I'm using the 500 size.. the rows fit GB/GBC/GBA games perfectly... even in or out of plastic cases.

    highly Recommened! even better.. the boxes are only a few bucks!

    The best solution I've discovered is if you have shelf space, put them in empty DS cases. Empty DS cases can be bought from Nintendo's online store and are designed to fit GBA games without modification. All you need to go is visit http://www.thecoverproject.net/ and print out custom sleeves for your games and they end up looking fantastic.

    For older GB and GBC games, you'll need to cut away some plastic to get them to fit which is admittingly a bit of work, but the results really stand out. You can also modify DS cases to fit GB/GBC/GBA manuals as well.

    Here's an example of what the cases look like:

    I'll use The Cover Project cases like Satoshi Matrix mentioned, but some games don't have inserts made for them so they just sit around loose for now. The trading card box method seems like it'd work the best if you put little alphabetical dividers in there as well to find your games easier.

    My problem is I've got a mix of loose games, some with those protector cases and some without, so none of them are all the same size either. For Game Gear games I can find the system cases locally for like $2 so I just stick them in there.

    I just thought of this but are the cartridges small enough to fit into baseball card sleeves? Im thinking they won't but that would be a great way to store GB games.
