00:00Ok, so if you've ever pulled a Game Boy cartridge out of a drawer and found the label peeling,
00:04the contacts corroded, or worse, a giant scratch right across the front, this video is for
00:09you.
00:09I went digging through the retro collecting world to find the best cartridge protectors
00:14you can actually buy right now, and honestly, some of these cost less than a cup of coffee.
00:19These are my top 5 cartridge cases for retro game collectors, and I found some genuinely
00:24great deals on every single one.
00:26Starting things off, we've got this 5-pack of clear pet protector boxes, and this one's
00:31the Swiss army knife of the bunch.
00:33It fits N64, Cineus, Zineus, Game Boy, GBA, GBC, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Switch, even PS2 through
00:40PS4 cases so if your collection is all over the place like mine is, this is the one.
00:45It's $6.19 for 5, it's sold nearly 4,900 units, and it's sitting at a 4.8 rating.
00:52That crystal clear pet means you can still see your box art perfectly, which matters
00:57when you're displaying complete in-box games on a shelf.
01:00For $1.20 a case, this is a no-brainer.
01:04Next up, if you're specifically a Game Boy person, this 10-pack is built for you.
01:09These are transparent cartridge covers made for Game Boy and GBA cards, and what I like
01:13here is the fit, they're snug enough that the cartridge doesn't rattle around, but they
01:17still slide in and out easily when you actually want to play.
01:20At $10.94 for 10, you're just over a dollar per cart, and with over 4,600 sold and a
01:274.8
01:27rating, people clearly like them.
01:30If you've got a shoebox of loose Game Boy games right now, this is the fastest way to
01:34turn that mess into an organized, dust-free collection.
01:38Now this third one is the Budget King.
01:40It's a hard plastic storage case for Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, and GBC cards, and the
01:46cool part is you can order anywhere from 5 to 20 pieces depending on how big your collection
01:50is.
01:51Starting at $5.20, that's about the cheapest per case price on this entire list.
01:57It's a rigid shell rather than a thin sleeve, so it actually takes a hit if it falls off a
02:02shelf.
02:034,400 sold, 4.8 stars, if you're protecting a big pile of loose carts and you don't want
02:08to spend a fortune, start here.
02:11Coming in at number 4, this one's from JCD, and the big selling point is the anti-dust
02:16design.
02:1710 clear protective boxes for GBC, GBA, and Game Boy Pocket cartridges at $5.52, that's
02:24$0.55 a case, which is kind of ridiculous.
02:27Dust is the silent killer for old cartridges, it works its way into the contacts and that's
02:32when you get the blinking screen and the game won't boot problem.
02:35These seal up nicely and keep that from happening.
02:39Nearly 3,900 sold with a 4.8 rating.
02:42Cheap insurance for games that are only getting rarer.
02:46And finally, my personal pick, the 10-piece version of that universal pet protector.
02:52Same multi-system compatibility, N64, Hineas, Asineas, Game Boy, GBA, GBC, Switch, all of it,
02:59but you're getting $10 for $8.92 instead of $5 for $6.
03:03That's better value per case, and this one's the only product on the list holding a perfect
03:085-star rating with over $3,700 sold.
03:11If you're doing a big shelf overhaul or you collect complete inbox games across multiple
03:16consoles, this is the one I'd grab.
03:18Buy it once, protect everything.
03:21All 5 of these are linked down in the description, and the prices I mentioned should still be
03:26live when you check.
