The ideal way to protect your sealed games

I was in my local Tesco recently, and was thinking about how great it would be if I could somehow obtain (Legitimately) some of those wonderful hard clear plastic cases they use to prevent theft. Seeing as quite a few items in my collection are worth quite a substantial amount, I thought i'd do a little extra research...

Now I am sure everyone has at one time or another thought about protecting cartain games in their collection, be it rare or delicate games? Maybe a mint Radiant Silvergun, or maybe Panzer Dragoon Saga or Suikoden perhaps? Even games which aren't sealed but which may be worth a lot of money, such as black label FFVII? And what about those fragile SNES and N64 games which come in cardboard cases...?

Well, these cases are ideal for that sort of thing, and ensures that no damage will ever come to your most valuable games. Especially useful for N64 / Snes / GameBoy games which come in cardboard cases!


I managed to track down the company which makes these products via Google. This is what I found:

(What I believe to be the official manufacturer's site):

http://www.mwsecurity.se ~ The product's themselves are known as "Safers"


And a few other sites selling these products:

http://www.qdtrading.co.uk ~ Sells Dvd sized "Safers" for as little as £0.95. Perfect for various current and previous generation games (Eg, PS2; Xbox; GameCube; Wii; X360)

http://www.medioeurope.com ~ Sells various shapes and sizes




They do all sorts of products, and specifically for certain games as well, such as PlayStation and Dvd size box's for everything else...




Protection doesn't come cheap though. A set of 72 Dvd size box's (Shown above) will cost you approx. £165.00! That's roughly £2.30 each.

As many of you might agree, this is a small price to pay to protect your most valuable sealed games in your collection!

damn! thats great protection stuff for sealed games! thank you for those hints!

I have such cases for my N64, SNES and NES games:



My PS and PS2-games are only in seal kings...but they are in a box to keep them from damage

And where you got your cases?

from a collector in the USA (or was it Canada??)
but you can buy them on ebay....or from me, I have some for the NES left.

I have 50 SNES ones for sale, and 50 NES ones for sale.
I bought them from the same collector on Ebay some years ago

Cool. Pm me with the prices you want for it. Although i'm not super-wealthy

Damn,

No way,nope.
They're designed to fit SNES games.

A guy over at NintendoAge also sells them. I bought 50 for 38 USD (including shipping from USA to Europe)

I don't know if they are the same though. Here are some good pictures:

I've send you a PM with his email adress.

I would like some of these cases for game boy games, anyone selling them?

Hi, there is a seller names SNESBITS on ebay.co.uk
I get all my gameboy ones off him

Hmm... Any for Dreamcast games?

Not sure exactly what the rest of you do...but I keep all my games in big boxes that are covered and away from any form of light. My SNES games are all in plastic box protectors and have no weight on them. PS1 games, I stack 3 (at the most) on top of each other, and just leave them like that. Ssame thing for PS2 games, those are the easiest to store, in my opinion. I feel like the boxed games (SNES, GBA, NES, etc) are the most delicate....

Thanks DJ Villa but I need a place that ships the game boy box protectors to the US .

How about games in Jewel CD cases like US dreamcast and PS1 games? I find them easy to be damaged to, cracks for example. Are there cases like the NES that are made for CDs? Thanks

Yeah, it'd be nice... I personally just wrap my ps1 games up in a resealable bag to give it an extra seal... sort of

Anyone a idea were i can find GBA box protectors?
SNESBITS from ebay sells only SNES box protectors
