You know, these box protectors are pretty expensive and I want to keep them fresh and undamaged.
Is there a way to protect them ?

How do you store your game boxes?

You could do some crochet work and make wrappers for them with a pretty floral design. Then put the whole in UV-proof ziploc bags and you're set.
Prices are getting crazy on every system. Game Boy surprises me, though. Only a few people, like myself, collect it and they're really nuts about it.
If you look closely, there's probably about 5-6 games in there that are pushing/over $1k. Spud's Adventure, Amazing Tater, Fish Dude, Sumo Fighter, Ninja Boy 2, etc. Most of those I acquired in trades and before prices went really nuts. Most I think I spent was $500.
If anyone's curious, not going for a complete set. I'm about 400 shy of that goal but, I am missing stuff that I really want: Kid Dracula, Mr Do! (that one on the shelf is a PAL "placeholder"), TMNT 3: Radical Rescue...probably about ten more.

PS: KI, it's interesting you mention Castlevania: Legends. I paid $25 for it at a local store called Vac's 'n Vids...which, by the way, is a story for another dedicated thread. Such a bizarre business...

I had a few GB games, but at the time, I was only casually into them. Flash forward to 2015 and I realize how great of a games they were.
How does Ninja Boy 2 play? I really Like little Ninja Bros. and Ninja boy on the NES and SNES.

Once I saw how much it is boxed games are going for lately, I bough some from this site here:

Cheap and very nice stuff, makes the boxes display nicely too...

It's not very good. Plays very weird, odd animation when you get hit where you land on the ground. It has action and RPG gameplay...in space...with ninjas.
The reaction I get from other GB collectors "OMG! YOU HAVE NINJA BOY 2?!!!!" Priceless. I think I paid $35 for it, too.

Freakin' beautiful. I wish I could find a NTSC NES in here.
Exactly!
Just like this :
I have however, all carton based box games inside drawers except of course, Neo Mini box games. Opening the box all the time makes it wear fast. They're easily protected.
Thank you SEGA for those kick ass boxes.

That's no horseshit either. I don't even like sports but a buddy of mine had it and we played the shit out of it.

I agree. I don't like sports but will play stuff like Neo Turf Masters, Sports Jam and any arcadey sports titles like Blades of Steel. I usually have sports on in the background during the weekends when I'm playing games, reading, drawing/collaging, or cleaning.

I use these things for cardboard stuff, anything in a clamshell or longbox holds up pretty well on its own.
As for shelves, IKEA BILLY: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00263850/

I gotta know what system you Game Boy ballers use to play your games? An original GB? A GB color? Or do you go all out and use the GC GB Playa? Inquiring minds want to know..
Back on topic: here's my solution for storing game boxes...
One cardboard box filled with stuff, I collapse them.

I like playing on the good old gameboy color. My room has the perfect lighting for playing it. If you don't have good lighting than the SP light is the better option.I gotta know what system you Game Boy ballers use to play your games? An original GB? A GB color? A backlit GBA? Or do you go all out and use the GC GB Playa? Inquiring minds want to know..

Got an NES SP and never looked back.
The only game that doesn't look right is Solar Striker. For some reason, when you turn it on, the white and black colors are flipped (and, it's mostly a white game). You have to change the color setting (by hitting the D-pad) before the game loads the title screen to fix it.

Nice condition for that Castlevania IV.
I think I'll show mine to you guys later tonight when I get home.
