Scan Requests (label, cover art, manual, box, etc.)

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Wait, what's going on here - what's wrong with Bignose? Is the label messed up?

[nintendodork]

Yup.  I saw one at a used gaming store.  There's a few scratches on the cart, but the label is shit.  It's cheap, though, so I'm going to get the two Camerica games that are there.  The other one is Ultimate Stuntman.  It's in pretty good condition, but I have no idea what Bignose went through

There's a Bignose disk?

Edit: This thread is in the Disk System topic.  I have the NES version if you want a scan of the cart label.

[nintendodork]

What?  I'm talking about the NES cart.  Why did you think we were talking about a disk?

Also, Jedi, I read in an earlier post that you wanted a scan of a SMB3 cart.  If Agent X didn't give it to you yet, I'd be happy to.

[Medisinyl]

/\  I dunno either--the original post in this thread mostly dealt with NES stuff

[ericj]

Maybe this thread needs moved outta the Disk System section. Anyways, here's a pic of my cart; if you want a scan I can get it to you tomorrow. I have the booklet, too.



I also have the Aladdin Compact Cartridge of Big Nose Freaks Out CIB if that's the one you want.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

First of all, yes - I recommend that you take off the original label (I take apart the cart & let it sit in Goo Gone for about a day)

Second, I print onto photo paper - glossed finish.  I then glue it on with photo glue.

To give the label that protective seal, I put wide packing tape over it (but I've been having problems getting the air bubbles out between the seal & the label [I don't know how I didn't have this problem before]).

[nintendodork]

Thanks for that.  Eric, I'd love it if you could give me a scan of the label.  I don't care when.  Just whenever works best for you.

As for taking the old label off, I've found that just using rubbing alcohol works.  This label is horrible, and if I get the actual picture off, I can rub off that white, fuzzy, sticky residue with alcohol.  But thanks for your suggestion.  Could I get that photo paper at a place like Walmart?

Probably, but you also need a photo printer.  Else you could go to Kinko's & get it printed there, but one time I was told they couldn't do it because it had a copyright label on it. I was the one who put the copyright label on the label.

Oh yeah, hi qual scan - 300 dpi - never hurts to photoshop the blotches.

[nintendodork]

Damn, I don't have a photo printer, nor would I be able to print it at Kinko's....because of the copyright..maybe they wouldn't notice.  I don't know.  Also, everyone requests 300 dpi, but if a scanner can scan in higher quality, then why not?

Well, the original poster was looking for Famicom and NES related items, and I was under the impression this section was for Famicom and FDS.  Perhaps someone could start a Scan Request thread in other gaming as you've suggested (if there isn't one already). 

As for removing stickers and labels in general, I tend to soak them in contact cleaner and scrape it off with a flat razor after sitting for 15 seconds or so. 

[ericj]

You can also print your own photos at Kinko's from disk/memory card if they have a Sony PictureStation.

Also, I emailed the scan to you, nintendodork.

That was only one time - doesn't hurt to try.  Or check to see if there's some other local printing center - it's always nice to support the local scene.

But I need my cleaner for my contact lens. Plus, I get Goo Gone from the dollar store.

-- I was referring to electronic contact cleaner.  Though I have seen the Goo Gone product and considered getting some when I couldn't find contact cleaner (automotive stores tend to have it).  I may try Goo Gone now that you've mentioned it works as well, but contact cleaner works wonders for everything...it kills spiders and roaches instantly and you can even spray right on drywall and it will dry almost instantly with no marks or residue of any kind (so much better than Raid that smells awful, lingers, and doesn't work very well), it cleans CD/DVDs/Blu-Rays etc. extremely well, and I expect does everything Goo Gone can do, etc.  (sometimes my use of contact cleaner reminds of the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding "put some Windex" ) 

[nintendodork]

Alright, here's what we're dealing with...


Yeah...
