Buying over printing?

[Patrick]

Is it better to buy prints offline that come with case then print your own?  I still have my original boxes for my Nintendo games but some are missing boxes or just plain crushed flaky sides.  Also I want to replace a label on my N64 game that is faded,  Super Mario 64, Can I buy a complete nice reprint of one or Probably dont do, order one directly from Nintendo?  I found the sticker on here but I always have problems with color and brighness of prints or certin covers.  Plus my Super Mario 64 has the Players Choice Million Seller logo on it.

If you can find a way to print your own then it's a far better idea. Most of the prepared boxes I've seen run for around ten bucks which is a terrible price considering the case probably cost *at most* a dollar and the printed covers are worth less. Also many of the people who do prepared cases aren't the best folk to deal with since (with a few exceptions) they take everyone else's work and try to make money off of it without giving credit.

Just my two cents though; I design and print my own covers for the most part.

I just saw some on ebay and wanted to see if it was worth it.  I make my own covers and for my PC games since some are not even retail versions.  I even bought a lot of DVD cases and I found the printing on photo paper is the best.  whats the best paper to use to print on?  This photo paper I have has the comany logos on the back of the paper, was woundering what paper they really use for DVD/games cover arts?

We have the cases w/ artwork in our ebay store and sell them for $5.99 shipped. We use 32lb laser stock. We print on legal paper and trim to fit with a paper trimmer.

It is much less to do it yourself but if you don't have the supplies or printer then we can help you.
