SNES Instruction Booklet Storage Survey

[FritzWhite]

what kind of binder you using? I'm doing the same thing.

I went to office max the other day and they are having a 2-for-1 sale on [IN]PLACE folders.  The normal 1" folders are $5 now and although it says they are not on the 2-for-1 sale, they rang them up for me anyways.  I needed some for school so I grabbed about 9 and am keeping one for my manuals.  Here's the link.  If it's too small, i'll just pick up a larger one (2" maybe) but I only have maybe 80 booklets so I think I should be good.

Hey guys, I just wanted to show you how my manual storage turned out with Arseen's binder idea. It's pretty neat I think.

I also saw another idea on youtube to store the manuals in a NES dust sleeve and that works alright too. I put a few extra manuals into some dust sleeves and it's kind of nifty though personally I'll stick with my binder for manual storage now that I'm invested (it also protects/preserves the manual better).

Lookin' good, I like the way my SNES fit in the sleeves but the NES games ain't fitting too nice.  I bought a sheet that will hold three (http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-ULTRA-PRO-HOLO-PLATINUM-3-POCKET-PAGES-SHEETS-4-X-6-/251313092070?pt=US_Comic_Storage_Supplies&hash=item3a836d75e6) and the bottom two are vertical which is nice (but they are extremely snug), but the top slot is horizontal and the manual easily falls out.  I think I'll keep looking for a better sleeve for the NES.

BTW: The 50 lot is just triple the price.

[Hoggs17]

hmmm...that's a good deal but 200 NES booklet spaces are about 130 more than need!  Maybe I can convince my friend or anyone local to go in on it with me.

Now, how about in the future.

[Hoggs17]

True true, but I don't see myself wanting that many more NES games.  I could see maybe 10 more, tops! 

[Hoggs17]

Thank for the tips guys, I ended up going with the http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350390355067; should be better than the 3 pack I originally bought (of which the top manual kept falling out).  Bought me 2 sets of 10 packs for a total of 80 so I should be good.

I don't like keeping NES manual in the UGC with game and the protective sheets in the binder for SNES manuals are too big for NES. So I glued this photo slip into a UGC and I like it

[Arseen]

Nice idea.

... the protective sheets in the binder for SNES manuals are too big for NES.

There are sheets that fit 8 (4 per side) NES manuals perfectly...

[FritzWhite]

I know but then I'd have to order even more protective sheets for the binder and I already have a bunch of extras of the first type sitting here. Plus, this was cheap and easy and it fits on the shelf with the NES games. Now to try and convince some fine upstanding member to make a NES manual case cover.
