    I have a binder similar to the one pictured (perhaps a bit bigger). It has 8 pages with 9 games in each page (trading card sized). So that's 72 games. A shoe box would certainly save space, but the pages can be alphabetized for easy searching. You can also attach a gameslist to the cover of the binder. Some of the binders have slots to insert a cover on the binder.

    Trading card size is the best I've found. They seem overly large (length and width), but they are designed to hold the much thinner cards so they expand for the cartridges and hold them snugly.

    Cardboard Velveeta boxes. Perfect size for loose GB carts.

    That's what I use, but one might question the potential consequences to one's health to eat enough Velveeta to store a large collection of GB games. :-)

    Oh, I don't eat it, I let someone else do that. I like to keep my bowels happy.

    Just mention to people you know that you want the boxes and you'll end up with plenty.

    Trading Card boxes work very well. Ones like these:

    You can get them from most comic book and hobby stores.

    I put all my GB/GBC/GBA/DS games in a small Green Rubbermaid that's kept in one of my drawers
