SNES Instruction Booklet Storage Survey

[Hoggs17]

After I finished buying UGCs, removing away the inside plastic (for NES games of course), printing out the covers, etc... I realize that I have one more issue I want to tackle - what should I do to store my SNES manuals?  The NES manuals fit perfectly fine inside the UGC but the SNES manuals are too snug for my liking.  So I wanna know what any of you guys do.  I spent some time stumbling around this site to see if it's been answered before and I got a few answers but I was hoping to get a variety of answers and opinions.  I was leaning to storing them in plastic sleeves inside of a folder (like I've seen Arseen do http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4481.0), anyone have any recommendations?  Maybe someone made some progress since 2010 when that posting was created.  Thanks!

The manuals fit as crppily to UGC as before unfortunately.

So main 5 options are:
- Just squeeze the manuals in the UGCs, they bend a bit but should not damage.
- The folder thinggie.
- Use Double wide DVD cases.
- Store them in a box.
- Wait for Onion cases.

Slip them inside the plastic sleeve behind your cover. Most none multi language game manuals fit great and it has the added bonus of keeping them crease free.

All my manuals have original boxes to go along with them. So I just store em all together in big bins.

I like Arseen's manual book. I took my manuals out of the UGCs because it didn't make sense as some of my manuals didn't fit in the case with the game, so I couldn't store them all the same way.

At least with a book like that they'll stay protected and they're easy to access

What about real phat manuals like SimCity?

I put all my manuals in bags from retro protection then just put them in a bin.

I use binders, I've run out of space though, need more pages.

[Hoggs17]

lookin' good larry, i think i like that.  what size pages do you use for the NES and SNES?  just the normal 4 sheets for NES and 2 for SNES?

i'm going with the binder idea, i think it's my fave.  ordered some ultra pro 5"x7" photo sheets off of ebay for my SNES manuals (2 per page) but i think i want the NES in there too (never satisfied, sigh).  I didn't come across anything with the 4 per page sheets like Arseen has pics of (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4481.0).  What kind did you use buddy?  The dimensions of the available products I found wouldn't fit the NES manuals.  Thanks!

I bought mine from local bookstore.

I'll see if I can find similar on ebay.

If I were gonna go the binder route... I'd case it and cover it!

Yep must do.

My folders have spine pocket whole width/height.

Already got the binder ready to go - just need my sheet protectors!
