This guy is selling reproduction snes boxes on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/empty-replacement-snes-game-boxes-rare-titles-NO-GAME-/170965095495?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item27ce505447

The quality looks great. I've been a member of the french site Nintendo Box Project http://npes.free.fr/index.php for a while but they don't look the same source as those.

If this guy is doing his own artwork then fair play to him and I wish him lots of success or are these just from a site? before I buy a few has anyone any experience in buying repo boxes?

There are few that we could use for raws:
FINAL FIGHT 3
SUPER GODZILLA

Maybe few others.

Man, those are amazingly cheap. I would expect someone to charge a lot more for something like that.

I look though his other auctions and I can see that he's using our work.

This was just posted:

Well at least he puts some effort in making them, unlike few others.

I actually don't mind and you're right. He's not just printing up sleaves and putting them in UGC like other sellers. Plus, his prices are cheap!!! Very good deal.

Presicely.
I wonder would he donate few images for cover making, mainly the mentioned Super Godzilla and Final Fight 3.

I'm pretty sure some other PAL Version SNES Boxes needs to be reproduced.

I have sent a message to the seller asking if he would be so kind as to share the RAWS for FINAL FIGHT 3 & SUPER GODZILLA for those who need them.

I have included a link to this thread. I can imagine if no response is received this thread can be moved to the "Last Word on People Selling Covers" section. *cough Bribe.  ;D

Evening,

Micheal on ebay has been a little superstar ;D and has passed on Artwork for Arseen and anyone else that needs them:

Link moved to secret place ask Arseen and he shall maybe forward them  <- EDIT BY ARSEEN

Here is a link to Micksmart63's Ebay Listings. If you need any boxes his prices are reasonable.

Excelent, altough I would not publisise them here in ready form as competitors will snatch them.

Anyway these got me so good mood that I shall endure the pain of using my agonisingly slow scanning computer and scan some way over due SNES boxes.

I would but N64 covers are still beyond my skills.

So hopefully Wiggy, N64guy or Segamer has time to save us once again.

-----------------------------------------------

Anyway raws for:
- Boxing Legends of the Ring US
- Bulls vs Blazers US
- Championship Pool US
- Equinox US
- Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball US
- Spindizzy Worlds US
- Super Bases Loaded US
- Waialea Country Club US

Uploading here (temporarily, will move to correct folders later):
http://www.mediafire.com/?35jn0h5dt52hl

For each there is Box Front and Back @450DPI and Manual Front @600DPI (all auto toned and demoired).
Again, if rescans are needed just ask.
My scanning computer has crappy power and monitor so haven't checked the quality.

I have 8 Sports games that I scan later today or tomorrow.

Too bad. Nobody would scan the box art of Winter Gold for the SNES. :'(
