I did something better: I put a zipped file on my FTP server.
The "test" scan is at:
www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/scans/cv_astro_pinball_300dpi.zipThe archive contains: front, back, left spine, info txt file.

sadly my scanner doesn't go beyond 300 dpi.

the left spine is the same as the right one, except it's top-down.
> I had no idea that something called Creativision existed
It's a known console in most of the world, except the USA because it was mainly a PAL system. NTSC versions exist but are extremely hard finding. It's a top-want by most hardcore collectors.
The console hardware is extremely close to the Colecovision, except the CPU which is a 2MHz 6502 instead of a Z80. Plus, the Creativision features an embedded keyboard and cassette-tape port. Microsoft Basic is on optional cartridge.
> so I have no clue of the size of either the boxes or the carts
They're smaller than the VCS 2600 carts.
If you go visit the CreatiVEmu website, you can download PDF files containing scans of boxes (front + back), manuals, joystick overlays and carts. You can print them and see yourself the true size of everything.
By the way, fyi, the standard Creativision cart is 6,4 x 8,0 x 1,8 cm.
Compatible systems cartridges, like the ones for Hanimex Rameses/VTech Funvision, and the Laser 2001/Salora Manager, are slightly different.
The Multicart/Diagnosticart cart shells I produced are slightly different too as they were designed to fit every model of CV and compatible systems.

I think so.
