Please do provide us with good quality scans of the covers.

I don't have a scanner, but I think I might make a trip to Kinko's or staples to see if they'll do that.  I'd like to make a dummy box to use in the meantime while I keep the original boxes in their best condition.

I haven't done box scans, any guidelines to follow?

Edit: alright my roomate has a scanner and printer.  I also found the box scanning guidelines on the forums here.  I'll try and get something scanned and uploaded tonight after work.

One corner is ripped off on my dragon warrior 2 box, does that make a difference?  or will someone beable to just recreate it?

It might, but we have that box scanned, so no need to scan that.

After checking, out of those boxes we need:

NES:
Dr. Chaos
Solstice

SNES:
Ultima

And if you are bored and lacvk things to do, that Ultima Exodus guide would be nice...  ;)

I'm going to go see if my town's flea market has anything worthy picking up today, so I hope I strike gold there.

Unfortunately, nothing to be found.  Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

Speaking of garage sales/flea markets, I just started watching The Game Chasers.  That show absolutely rocks.  I'll see if the flea market here may have a better selection the next weekend whenever I find the best opportunity.

almost no yard sales this weekend...I believe the storm had something to do with it.

 Best I got was a PS3 remote for 25 cents.
 Nothing else game related.

I'll try and do that but I'm worried about breaking the binding.  I'll find a way though, probably just holding the edge over the corver or something like that.

Do what you can do, but I understand if you can't scan it, as the guide looks fragile

Ps1 with Coax AV instead of the standard, 2 Dualshock controllers (Gray & Blue), no name blue memory card, mega man x4 inside.
all in the retail system box....bit beat up though.

 The lot of it will end up at Play N Trade, forgot that I wanted a PS1 with removable expansion bay on the back.
