I have a mix of loose, Shockboxes and cardboard.

My idea is to get all of them on cardboard. The ones that are still loose are that way because I haven't designed the cardboard for them yet. The ones in shockboxes are that way because I bought them with the shockbox, and fuck they are gorgeus but way too expensive and bulky to get the full collection that way.

Windy sleeves. Shocks are cool but would have cost hundreds more. Some cover is better than none.

The boxes to the right are empty.

I’ll agree with others shock boxes can get expensive and can take up a good bit of space, but with the right insert they can look darn good.

I use Neo Mini Boxes to store the loose MVS carts. They're very practical.

Most of my early purchases included Shockboxes. Then, I did some trades/sales and got more Shockboxes.
Near the end of grabbing carts, I had several purchases that were loose. Never got boxes for those, so my collection is fairly split.

Really cool idea, it looks very good! You should make a thread how you did them:)

I just store my games loose inside of a schublade. Nothing special! I would like to buy Shockboxes but shipping in combination with taxes make them too expensive. Maybe one day....
Yes, I'll do that someday.. I need to figure out if I can find a better cardboard before that because when I fold it, the edges ink breaks sometimes. Nothing bad but it is not perfect ^^

Converted mine to cash and then put the cash in a Vanguard fund earning 8%.

Maybe fold them before you print on to the cardboard? Just an idea, I never tried it!

I just pulled the trigger and ordered 33 of the neo mini boxes from the guy on ebay. His shipping rates just went down, so that helped with that decision. I do like the shock boxes, so i'll probably just buy 5 at a time until I have enough for all of them...The mini boxes will work great in the mean time, and who knows maybe i'll decide to ditch shock boxes altogether.
