Hey fellas,

Just wondering if there are any members out there that wouldn't mind parting with a few UGC (Black or Clear, full sleeve) and posting them to the UK for me?

I know media shelving do 100 for $42 so thats 42 cents each, does anyone want to sell me some (I have a load of cart only games for genesis, megadrive, famicom snes and NES so I will keep this thread open, as I would like lots...

Any offerings? Thanks in advance

The postage will kill you, I suggest you use the double wide DVD cases, like he is:

Which is better for someone in the US? Double Wide DVDs or UGCs?

  • Think off-center.
@ scarmullet if youre in the U.S. they would both cost about the same so UGC's are the way to go for most games.

@duke2k7: your best bet would be doublewide dvd cases. I think Arseen uses those or VHS case

Double wide DVD cases are what I use, they are about 0.5 cm or 1/5th inch taller.
I use UGC cover unaltered, I just leave 0.5 cm white strip to the bottom, and the fit is perfect.
And like Anonymity and irvgotti452 said here is the link to view of my collection or part of it:

No modifications, I only took the inner DVD holder trays away.

In other words they are just loose inside, altough the front and back DVD holders keep the games bit in place, and if you have thicker manual in there too, games stay put.

I had thought about getting these and glueing foamboard in the cover to keep carts in place.

can i ask a stupid questionhere, or make a new thread in the right section? its about printing those french box things in GIMP. I'm guessing that as long as the printing is 300dpi, then we're good to just press print?

Might wana make a proper cover out of them first, clean them up and stuff.

I found DVD stacker cases cheaper than UGC boxes. $0.29 a case instead of $0.42.

would these work or are they the wrong dimensions?

Should work when you cut away the disc holding tap and the ridges.

width is 1" or 25.4mm (the ones Arseen uses are 27.5mm) but I doubt the difference is too big.
