Ownaholic:
I hate to double post, but I figured it would be wiser to ask this question within this topic, rather than start a whole new one just for one minor question.

What type of cardboard do I use for the box? After feeling and looking at a SNES box, it feels basically like a cereal box's type of cardboard, but I typed in "thin cardboard" on both amazon and google, to no avail. Can somebody link me something that would match the consistency, thickness, and texture, of a SNES retail box?

Thanks so much!

Ah you're a genius! Any color recommendations? It looks like they've got everything under the sun. I'd just go with plain white, but looking at the inside of my boxes, it looks more cereal-box-gray than anything else. But I haven't seen "gray" cardstock anywhere.

You can buy cardstock that has cerial box gray on the other side and white on the other side.

Good stuff. I'll have to look for it.

I do have another question, while it is on my mind. I've also heard of something called chip board, which is supposed to more closely resemble the thickness of a cereal box. I've heard that cardstock is actually more close to the thickness of an index card, which is maybe a hair thinner than what the actual boxes for the SNES are.

Any ideas?
