Video Game collector lingo dictionary

[EX-Soldier]

i dont have the definition but i keep wondering what it is

spine card - is this just the side part of the label on the longbox style cases of yesteryear?

spine cards are a little cardboard flap that comes with older japanese games, for the import to be considered complete it must contain that useless piece of thin cardboard known as the spine card

edit: i've only ever imported saturn games, i've no clue if these were also included on other systems, can anyone confirm this?
