^^^ Yeah, I'd recommend that paper to anyone. It's relatively cheap and even with a cheapo Kodak all in one printer, it pops out great quality covers. |

If it's a cart based game, I don't care if the original box is there. In fact, I tend to stay away from CIB because of the premium price. I don't display my boxes anyway since everything goes into UGC or similar cases. With that said, I always reserve the right to break those rules if the price is right. --- End quote --- My motto as well. There are times where I get the box, though, such as for carts that won't fit into UGCs without modding. As easy as the cases are to mod, I'd rather use that unmodded UGC or DS box for something else and get the original cardboard box. I hate cardboard boxes as it's tougher and more expensive to get boxes in better shape, and they look ugly on the shelf beat up, but I found that getting a box protector actually hides some of the blemishes. I'm guessing because it reflects light like regular cases do. |

Glossy photo paper works well for manuals (well, the manual cover, I used regular old print paper for the inner pages). I've used glossy photo paper for a few DVD covers and they turned out nicely, so it works well. |

I am just wondering what makes the replacement cover look different from the original cover? Does anyone have a picture that would show the differences between the two covers? |
