I uploaded all of mine that they didn't have.

The Xbox section is fairly weak so I will upload to that when I get some free time.

cool!

oh and about the flea maret deals... check this out this comic shop in my area which i dont frequent that often prices games hella wierd I bought the Capcom fighteres joystick for NES for $15 ive seen it sell on ebay for $50 but get this there torn copy of metal gear behind the glass is $19.99 with no manual????

Mario Bros is $24.99 they had 2 for $5 but when i got back there they only had one and i uploaded that already.

the guys there need to get over themselves and there pricings

oh and here is the cream of the crop they charge $10 for mario duckhunt track meet when i asked why he said its because nintendo games are rare to find now?

i wanted to laugh in his face and say something like "you dumb ass its not gonna sell for $10 f**ing i have like 4 that i use for coasters" or something like that.

when i went to the flea market yesterday i came out with 30 games for 53 bucks (its an  odd number but "that was all i had  ;) " and alot of the games where in the pretty expensive range as a single cart but the lady didnt know what she had.

The flea market I go to she claims to sell to collectors primarily and specialize in the older stuff. I think she is partially making it up, but at the same time the games that are priced higher really should be priced higher, just not so high or not when in such a condition.

She sold me Kid Icarus for $20 which was "discounted" off of the $30 she wanted, without box, sleeve, or manual and seemed regretful at the time as if she could get better.

30 games for 53 bucks is a heck of a deal, and if you can live without manual, boxes then even better. I thought I could but now I'm content and happy to buy them CIB only. Even if I just store the boxes. Debating the same thing with my saturn cases since they are so damn big, just concerned as the manuals will not fit in a DVD case and I like to keep them with the game.

I am still awaiting a few from ebay.

I wonder what the hold up is on NES covers getting approved.

Yeah my Top Gun 2 cover is badly sun faded.

It's not a holdup on covers getting approved.... The problem is that there are only 6 people who have access to cover posting and not all of them are really active(have time etc.).... I'd say two people post most off the covers.... So you have to wait and be patient please it takes quite some time to approve all the covers which are posted.....

They fit in the UGC, but there are not any tabs etc to hold them down like in a DVD case.

In addition the UGC cases need to be modified with a soldering iron  (cleaner, safer) or a Dremel to fit the NES cartridges.

I wish they made a case specifically for the NES carts, and a manual clip or sleeve would be nice.

What I do for manuals: Take one empty UMC and cut out all the taps so its competely flat. Then stack all the manuals in there and create a spine labelling it "NES Manuals".

Any chance at rescanning that cover Ergg, or did you only have the images? The Capcom logo appears pushed off the top and the images are kind of blurred, do you recall what DPI it was scanned in at?

i dont remember it was like i said 4 or 5 years ago probably at 150 or 200 dpi i thought that would be sufficiant with the scanner i had at the time but never did i imagine a project like this :)
