Do any of you use plastic sleeves or bags to protect your most prized gems? I've been looking for some but cannot find any with the correct dimensions.

Just curious (?・_・)

I just keep my FDS games in their cases and inside a box with my other games.

I want some of these poly-sleeves:

That looks interesting... I have some plastic cases that I guess was the original packaging for disk games that come with a manual that are used to protect them.

The only kind of protection the FDS games had at the time of their original run was the clear, plastic box w/ a Disk-Kun sticker.  If this is what you're talking about, Rob64, the cases are pretty durable, and will protect the contents if you keep them in a box in a cool place like you said.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

I'm pretty sure that I have what you're talking about nintendodork. They're kept in the basement which is relatively cool (average temp between 60-70 degrees F. I just wonder if the moisture is a problem for any of my games to be down there, don't think it is.
