Title: replacement boxes, sleeves and cards
Post by: tobasoft on October 12, 2020, 03:23:50 pm
so I need 1 replacement box, two sleeves, and properly sized images so I can replace the shitty photocopied game cards with better quality card stock

Are you talking about FDS games? Your best bet is to suck up common/low demand titles from J4U for donors.

This seller price drops incrementally every day so just keep an eye on things. I picked up 10-12 complete games for donors for $2.50/game a few months back for this reason. Lots of sports games but they do the trick.

As far as inserts, look up c00per's posts here. He has a bunch he made himself. Also here:

If you want a source for uncirculated disk cases, and you can find someone willing to import from Japan for you, there's always Tea4Two. They sell cases for FDS games.

Woah!  Nice!  Definitely let me know when you get this store off the ground.  I'll put in a couple of orders myself for sure and spread the word!  You should also join the Famicom Disk System group Cooper started:

For months I've been thinking this incredible FDS resource no longer unavailable  :-[

I know I'm 4 years late to this party but thanks Symptoms0fMercy  -- I've been trying to track down a few pieces of art that aren't hidden in a high res directory gaming alexandria has of all the FDS goodies which you can see here -- https://www.gamingalexandria.com/highquality/fds/

It didn't have Kaettekia Mario Bros, which I know by default didn't have sleeve art being writer only but I just got a copy of it and another without a sleeve either cheap in the mail yesterday and was looking to wrap them up.  Between the archve on the first link and then the correct dimensions on the other I can re-do the 3 others I did and add these too.

Now I need to figure out which card stock paper for the sleeve.
