I started printing my own cases and one of my buddies said "dude, most people don't have a color laser printer, you should make them for people and sell them online"

So I do.  I sell them on eBay.  I use your stuff because it's awesome and easy to resize to fit the cases that I sell.

I'd like to help you with your hosting bill.  If someone that I can verify as being connected to the site reaches out to me I would be happy to throw a couple bones your way.  I don't really make much money from it, but I can share what comes in.

I would prefer a donation link somewhere on the site though.

Thanks for all you do.

We prefer high quality scans for older games that don't have covers yet, the rarer the better.

Accepting money can risk unwanted attention from game companies.

Ok, I think I have a few boxes that aren't up here that are in decent shape.  I'll go buy a scanner and get them up here for you.  I'm no good with Photoshop, but I'm sure someone is.

That would be nice.

Super flat (pre-flatten between book, and scan with heavy hardcover book on top the box), absolutely straight, descreen if possible, 600DPI. otherwise no filters or after scan alterations so we get best possible raw material.
I suggest cheap Canon printer/scanner as those have descreen (aka de-rasterize or moire removal) option when scanning with their scan software.

Thank you.

Just got the scanner and I read your Photoshop tutorial.  It seems pretty straighforward, I say this having never used Photoshop.  This should be an interesting journey.  I just slapped a box on the scanner to see if it works, all seems well.  I should have some nice scans for you guys in the next few days.

I also purchased a couple of boxes on eBay that are missing from your archives.  If any of you admins have suggestions for boxes that you know have been desired, I'll just buy them, scan them and keep them as store inventory.  I can only do that for NES and Gameboy/GBC right now. 

I noticed the upload link doesn't work at the moment.  When I finish these things where can I upload them so they'll land in your archive for everyone to use?

I have some boxes for several games that you don't have in so-so condition.  Are there members that clean up raw scans?

Nice.

Upload is down, so use Mediafire or Box.com to upload and store, then link to a suitable or new topic naming the scan clearly so it can be searched in the future.

Currently no spesific box comes to mind.

Yes we have members with excelent restoring skills.
Scans should be:
- Super flat (pre-flatten between book, and scan with heavy hardcover book on top the box)
- Absolutely straight
- Descreen if possible
- 600DPI.

If descreen (aka derasterize/moire removal) is not available, please no filters or any after scan alterations (so just pure raw scans) so we get best possible raw material.
