How hard is it to find a game in it's original box? Every time I see a picture of someone's collection, I never see the games in the box, just the cartridge. I think I would rather have the full deal. Box art is pretty. |

I'm primarily a SNES collector, and I find its not difficult to locate complete in box games, but it does drive the price up a fair bit. |

All depends on the system. I just did the math and about 90% of my collection has the original box or case. For some systems I only collect CIB and some I am willing to forgo the box at least temporarily because otherwise I might never get it. Personally box art is one of the primary reasons I collect, just looks awesome. Right now I've really been into 3DO, I love the enormous boxes and crazy art. |

It's somewhat possible to get the original boxes and manuals if you're going to pay a bunch more for money them usually online only. through eBay or something. Not a lot of collectors have the original boxes because, most boxes get thrown out especially the N64 boxes. It cost more to buy the original retro game cartridges with the box it came in, I have a two. One cost me $50 or $60 USD, and another cost me only $8 USD complete in box but with no manual on both purchases. They do have repro boxes in which you can buy them separately and add them to your collection. |

for every cib copy you could say that there are 10 to 20 carts so a 1 - 10 or 20 ratio not to mention that of those cib copies you could at least throw 50% away since the condtion is pretty meh. if the game is common cib copies arent to hard to find since even with these horrible ratio's there is quantity but with less common stuff you might have zero cib copies on the market as a result that only show up sometimes let alone nice example. |
