In this thread people are _not_ recommending protection cases made of PVC because of it containing acid, a question follows however.

What's the original clear plastic covering the inserts of both old-style and new-style cases made of? PVC?

For cases with acidic plastic the whole container must be submerged in asses' milk, for prosterity. Problem solved.

I'm actually surprised he sold out. He had tens of thousands of these things. Maybe it's time for Windy to step in.

I contacted Roger direct, last October (2013) to buy another 500+ of his clear cases.

He only had around 200 left. So, I bought his remaining stock.

He told me he wasn't making anymore =(.


But, 200 cases wasn't enough, I needed more.

I had a prototype case made: clear acrylic, acid-free, and UV protected.
It looks incredible on the shelf. The best of the best.

The production cost is really high on these. But, they are worth it.
For now, I will be using these custom cases to hold my rare AES games.

I might make these cases available for sale in the future.
But I have to order 1,000+ to reduce the production costs.

Hmm... maybe a kickstarter with bonuses.


If you want cases similar to Roger's, Windy might be able to produce them.
They are awesome, inexpensive cases. I can call him.
But, like Roger, he would have to put the money up front to create 1,000-10,000 cases.

What would the price point be if 1000 units were ordered?

Back when I decided that it was time to preserve all of my high-dollar games, I just bought a 30-gallon glass aquarium. Packed all of my games in there, threw in a bunch of little baggies of desiccant that I'd been saving up from coat pockets and whatnot, then put a fitted piece of glass on top, sealed the whole fucker up with caulk and buried it in my back yard, which I then re-sodded. I didn't even draw a map, so much like Vern under his porch looking for a jar of pennies, even I'm not sure where they are. But just to be clear, I bought all of them to play them. Fuck people who just collect games to look at them.

Even a complete homecart collection wouldn't need 500 cases. So what are the extra ones for?

Having previously ordered a stack of the box protectors from a seller in the US I found the quality to be poor (They split very easy).

In the UK there is a company called Sentinel64, they make very high quality box protectors for other systems (SFC, SNES, Mega Drive, Jaguar, NES etc) other than NEO-GEO...

I made some enquires and they have no plans to make any because the demands not there... There minimal order needs to be 1000... Is anyone interested in helping me make this happen?

We were talking about trying to get a 1,000+ order together and all the support that you can offer would help, I'm sure.

I'm thinking to order some from the site in Italy, they look good and should help with my carton box versions.
Before I do is there any progress with the UK company?
