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?

Nope my friend, do not use chip board  ;)

Card stock comes in different thicknesses

Oops, I meant chipboard sheets, like this:

But if Card Stock comes in different thicknesses, I think that's the way to go. Does anybody have a favorite thickness/brand/type they like to work with?
