[TEKTORO]

cause if so, you be one dumb !@#$%&

yes i realize its sealed.

Check out the other stuff he is selling for a good laugh.

As for the question at hand, I try to get CIB stuff in reasonable condition. I will take lower quailty stuff if the price is a steal (like from a garage sale or something).

Stuff like this makes me wonder if I should sell everything I don't play or just save it all for a rainy day.

lol my first attempt at that, need some tweaking on the back print of the cover, and that flakey black stuff on the spine isnt from printing, this DS case is one that they gave me at GameStop its not even an official case its odd and has sticker residue on it.

looks like the printer scaled your image lol.

don't let it do that.

I've got a bunch of DS cases I might be willing to part with.

how would i not "let" my printer scale it, and also i do have like 40 GBA games i could do this for lol.

i just hit the print button because all the images are scaled correctly from the website.

Complete/Mint is the ultimate goal for anything. I'll never buy a disc-only, but cart only is fine and if its a fav or something, try and build to a complete, selling off the cart only, then cart/box, swapping pieces out, etc. It's really tough to get MINT cardboard boxes, so I only personally try that for super fav stuffs - then once I find it, i'll buy a loose cart for playing and never open that box again. New stuff (disc based) is much easier since the hobby has become so collector-friendly and their are oodles of stores that sell artwork only, instructions only, it is easy to build completes. There are also stores that sell authentic GCN/PS2/DS cases, etc.

Just resize the images to the correct size in your case cover program. You can save on ink by printing out plain black square boxes. Resize each subsequent printout until you get the size correctly set. You can use the previous printout to guesstimate the resize until you get it tweaked correctly. Be sure to use the corrected sized cover for a template for your other coverless cases.

As for cleaning off the sticky label, look in the Guides section of the board.

i've noticed the longer i collect the better condition the games i buy need to be in. i've looked back at a few items i bought and can't believe that 1) i bought it in that condition and 2) the price i paid for it in that condition. i will easily pay a premium for a game in mint condition - actual mint condition, not ebay mint - over a game in good condition.
