Hi everyone!
I've also lurked here for a long time and started boxing up my collection. I absolutely - love - the time and effort that people have spent to provide this service. I'll be recommending here to all my friends.
I hope I can contribute in some way, shape or form. Unfortunately a lot of my boxes were lost along the way but I have a sizable playstation collection so I'll always be on the prowl to see if I can help some how!

Looks like my turn to introduce myself!
I'm Marc, i live in Quebec Canada. I've been collecting game for the last 15 years, been playing games for around 25-26 years! There was a stop in my collecting ( of around 5 years) when my wife gave birth to our first daughter until last September (2012) when i decided to start it back. Good thing i didn't get rid of anything i had! What I'm currently collecting for is NES/SNES/PS1-2-3 and Vita. If i can get a good deal on other stuff, i won't pass it, which explain my ever growing Sega Master/Genesis/Saturn collection. I also love collecting Art Books from video game and Strategy guides.
As far as making covers go, I'm not a great artist, but i can provide raw cover template that some good artist can re-touch to make them on-par for TCP!
Personal life now, I'm 30, been a machinist for the last 10 years. Been repairing industrial gearboxes, pumps and electrical motors the last 7 years. My wife got a degree in literature and been working for the government for the past 2 years. We have 2 daughters (5 and 2 YO). The oldest start liking video game and the youngest love watching me play my ps3.
And that's about it for now! Hoping to be able to contribute with whatever i can!

Hey everyone,I stumbled upon this place about a month ago. I didn't really have any big hobbies (other than normal stuff of movies, sports, videogames) and I was immediately drawn to the awesomeness of retro collecting/case production. I was tired of having a bunch of NES games just placed in random boxes. What a great idea to make your own cases! So here I am a month later (and still with no cases, but hey Rome wasn't built in a day) and finally joined the TCP forum and even managed to learn some basic photoshop to come up with a few NES/SNES covers of my own. I'm not a fan of recreating the original cases (just not my style) and instead like to use fan art and the like to make custom stuff. This is all for my personal collection of course and I don't have too many games (< 50 NES, <10 SNES), just want them to look good on my shelf in my office/study/den. Can't wait for the onion cases to come out so I can finally print these suckers out and be proud of all that hard work! Anyways nice to meet all of you and I look forward to finding/sharing some awesome cover designs. Thanks for reading!

Hey guys, long time lurker and now I'm finally registered. ;D
My name is Ben, but I go by JelloEmperor or just Jello. It's a name I've used online for several years now. Just thinking of a name and I saw a box of jello in the cabinet and I have a tremendous love for Star Wars. Just kind of fit.
I've been playing video games for around 30 years. Grew up with Atari, then got an NES when I was 4. At some point or another Ive had just about every console in my possession at one point. I grew up in Louisville, KY and moved to Winston-Salem, NC when I was 21. Just got out of a 12 year relationship with a girl who despised video games and especially me playing them. I met a new girl this past February and she has really pushed me to get back to my roots.
So here I am, having found loose carts and cases missing covers, and stumbled over this site and instantly fell in love. I'm not very experienced with Gimp, but I'm hoping to be able to help get covers done and get my collection cased. I want to offer raws, but can't figure out how to get my scanner to remove moire.
