Full N64 set.....

Post by wclem »

There was a guy on here trying to complete the N64 set, I think I even sold him a couple games. Well I was inspired to try it myself and now I am over half way there. At some point I am gonna post in the BST my needs.

I was wondering if that person or anyone else had some real creative ideas on storing the carts. I am putting paper labels with a very lite adhesive on the tops of them so they can be identified from the top. I would like to be able to look straight at them from eye level or down. I could really use some help on this one. Thanks.

You doing completes, or just carts? I have a few in my trade pile, but they're all cart.

Carts or completes whatever come first to my hands! Yeah if anyone wants to list a few I may be able to snag a few here and there. It may be a little while till I post a need checklist.

By the way I grabbed clayfighter 63 1/3 sculptures cut for like 15 bucks, I still need that damn worms game though. I never was a fan of the series so I hate to dump any serious bucks on it.

For a while I was printing out the titles for each game and using scotch tape. Now that I have a P-Touch labeler, I just use that.



That's not the one I have. That's a "middle road" model. I have a shitty $15 one, but it gets the job done fine. I use a more expensive ($100+) model at work. They all do the same thing, the more expensive models just have more styles, fonts, et cetera.

You could also do this...

I was gonna get them for my SNES collection but decided not to. The cases themselves aren't too much money, but there's other things to consider. The amount of ink it would take to print up a cover for each game would be insane. Not to mention, you would either have to scan in your box or find the image online (there's a lot out there). But it sucks when you can't find a cover or two. You'll have gaps in it. Also, they take up a LOT more space than just the carts would.

I will have to see what you have on your want list

I like the case but cost gets in the way, I am looking to display carts loose for the most part.

I would love to see pics of that. Now, is that 76 per cent of the whole set?

Yeah, I decided to go loose in the end. The cases WOULD look very nice though.
