question on storing game boxes

[kingjohn3]

I think what I've decided to do with my SNES boxes is keep my "Hall Of Fame" boxes displayed on a shelf but all others flatten them out and store them w/manuals in Silver Age comic bags and boards. I've gone back and forth on this for a little while and the only thing holding me up is this...Will keeping them flat eventually damage them? They aren't totally flat now but once I get them all into the comic box they'll be much flatter. Any ideas? It's either stick the ones I don't want on craigslist or do this but I still don't want to damage them

I was asking myself the same question. When I flatten my first box, I had the impression that  it was stretching the sides that were being folded. Eventually decided to leave then as is in protective boxes. It does take a huge amount of space. I started to think about unused space where I could store them, crazy places like in the ceiling

If i knew i could sell them i would and get it over with. Craigslist ad would be a quick n easy start but cib collectors are a small niche group so could prove difficult. I dont think $5 each is a terribly high price.

The comic bag thing is not a bad idea!

and I see no reason why it would damage the boxes being completely flat. The only reason why posters/comic/books start getting ware on the edges is because of constant use. If you leave them be and not mess with them they should be fine.

I agree, I don't see any reason why flattening them would hurt them in any way as long as they are stored properly.

Yeah no noticeable (if any) damage from flattening.

But of course if you wanna sell I could buy them...

I would LOVE to sell most of these. Problem is by the time I ebay everything and pay fees and ship (because I would probably do free shipping) I'm making practically nothing since I'm asking very little for most of them to begin with. I've decided to keep my "Hall Of Fame" games CIB along with the best Platformers (Disney games, B.O.B, Plok, and other cutesy cartoony games), a few action games, ALL RPG's are CIB, and others that are considered to be "the best".

Or you can send me list of boxes/manuals you have to sell and I buy directly from you the ones I want...

I tell ya what. If you have a pretty good idea about what you want I can tell you if I have it. By the time I get a list together it could be next week.

Which ones I want are the ones I'm missing -> my list would be longer than yours.
Please do make a list when you have time, no hurry.
Probably my main focus would be RPGs, but all other types are wanted.
