Starting to get a decent GBA collection. How do you guys store these? amazon just has the clear individual cases and ebay just has a bunch of overpriced pouches from the early 2000s

I always stored them in a pouch with my console. Now I just use flash carts.

You could use the stand organizers they sell for nail polish.

oh shit I like that, do they look good sitting normally too?

I kept them in desk drawers. I never kept the boxes. Sometimes I wonder what they were thinking not putting them in packaging, we would have 100% kept it then.

*plastic packaging

Literally the same as your pic

Sorry but to collectors, just a little *you need to keep this because it's not fucking paper* packaging would have saved collectors a lot of headaches, whether you like that or not.

The supply wouldn't be so much bullshit you bitch about at least.

In their original boxes where they belong. Don't be a pleb who buys loose carts.

[Anonymous No.8850256]

I don't store them like this, it was just for the picture. They're usually on the shelf like books

>he doesn't have the GBA fanny pack

[Anonymous No.8850575]

I use the bootleg Amazon cases and stack them in these A4 paper plastic containers I get from Target. Works for the over 200 game collection I have.

[Anonymous No.8850649]

I stack mine in old Macanudo cigar box. I have like 30 GBA and 20 GB/GBC games in there. It’s not perfect, but it works.

[Anonymous No.8850674]

That's cool. I wanna remake the boxes for my loose carts once I move out of my parents' house. I don't have much space to work with as of now, so I just keep them in a small plastic box

My gba battery sadly died recently.

I only have 1 gb game, Tetris
I put it on a Mario pouch

You can store them on a flashcart

This but the Gameboy Advance SP fanny pack.

They're not tall enough so they don't stand up normally

Can only see two decent games in that pile of licensed dick and shovelware.

Impossible.

I washed out one of those large ziploc bags that are thicker than normal, and place the games into that, of which the bag goes into a USPS Priority Mail box. I would like to find a box that has a smooth coating that doesn't make it so prone to dust and easier to wipe.

[Anonymous No.8855659]

>>8850178
Smart but I perhaps want foldercase.

[Anonymous No.8856035]

>>8850165
I use one of these little desk organizers you can find at places like Target. I've got about 15-20 GB and 20 or so GBA games stored in mine.

[Anonymous No.8856076]

>>8850165
>How do you guys store these?
I put the individual games in the same cases that used to be included with GB and GBC games (They fit if you insert them sideways) and I put those inside of a larger plastic bin.

[Anonymous No.8856085]

>>8850198
1) That only works if you have a tiny collection
2) Enjoy the sun-fading.
3) Dust, because I know you zoomers aren't playing those.

I saved a bunch of ds cases with the gba holder and made printed cases for my better games.

[Anonymous No.8856468]

>>8854984
i usually like these handwriting posts
gba carts are so uninspired
just get a flashcart and collect the systems themselves

all that money is tied up and for what? a tiny sticker and grey cart?

bummer
pc engine, sega clamshells, even loose n64 carts have more going for them in terms of collectable items


ds, 3ds, gba, neo pocket, wonderswan
just get a flashmasta/easy flash and be done with it

I got pretty much all of those back when people were just discarding the games. Most were under $5USD. It was kind of a fun hunt, since the Gamecube was my only way of playing the games in those days as I was not into portables.

[Anonymous No.8859218]

>>8856035
This. I own one of these, it's in bad condition but it does the job and stored my entire collection in an easy to access and organized way.

Good storage, but there are about 10 GBA games worth owning

Recommend any must haves anon? I have a humble collection (oracle seasons/ages, 2 of the castlevanias and the Golden suns). I want to expand and play more and games look pretty inexpensive
