Looking to buy a set for my N64 collection.  42 in total.

2 main stores I'm looking at are Game Case King and Custom Game Cases.  Here are my issues.

On the surface I like Game Case King more, looking at the premium clear case with internal artwork is really nice.  Most look fantastic although clearly not a Turok fan, some of those choices are pretty bad.  But there is a youtube video of poor communication and getting an order wrong.  There's nothing listed as to the quality of paper and ink used which according to the video are lower quality.  And currently checkout is down so are they even in business anymore?

Custom Game Cases seems to be the better run business, good communication on the site, same premium clear cases, lists high quality printing supplies.  Bit more expensive ($5 on both but GCK lists a bulk discount and shipping is pretty high on CGC) but I'm willing to pay for quality.  Only main downside is no internal artwork. 

I thought I could try my hand at doing it myself but with the cost of finding the nicer cases it's not worth the effort and rather pay for it to be done.  So with that, anyone have suggestions?

Maybe an even better store than the two I have listed?

Thanks!

Well owner Custom Game Cases is member here (Game Case King's might be too).
And I bet Shadowfox (CGC owner) will do internal artwork too if asked.

I might be slightly biassed here :o but go with CGC.

I believe CGC sells empty cases in bulk so you can do your own printing.

He does sell them separate but with the difference in price I much rather have someone experienced do it.

So I just found the story of Game Case King when searching Shadowfox from your reply.  I thank you for your input, I was leaning towards him anyway since he seemed to have a better business sense for happy customers.  I will also inquire about the internal art.

Thanks again!

I've bought CGC cases and I have been very happy with them and Shadowfox's service. I also recommend CGC.

I would also recommend CGC. 

I would also reconsider printing out your own covers.  It's time consuming, but also kind of relaxing and fun. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I resemble that remark. One of my favourite things about this hobby is printing covers and sorting out my game shelves.
