You don't have to use the "Trapper Keeper" brand. Any 3-ring binder will do.

I suppose this is a result of the nostalgia factor times the durability (or lack thereof) inherent to the trapper keeper. I got a new one of these every August when I was a boy. By the following May my trapper keeper was torn to shreds. Meade probably engineered them to wear out before the start of the next school year.
I'll keep an eye open for one next time I go thrift shopping.

Re: Collecting for GB vs NES.
No doubt. I already have my game boy cartridges in a card album. I just felt a nostalgia rush at the mention of the "trapper keeper" brand. It's a cool idea to keep your retro games in a retro binder.BurningDoom wrote:You don't have to use the "Trapper Keeper" brand. Any 3-ring binder will do.
