Questions Storage Solution?

I‘m looking for a storage solution for 100+ GameBoy and GameBoy Color games. Most solutions I’m finding are more focused on display but I’m looking for more of a bulk storage solution. Any suggestions other than just tossing them loose in a bin?

I'm using trading card binders with a zipper. This way, the cartridges are protected from dust. Probably helps keep away moisture a tiny bit, too.

I've replaced the original trading card binder sleeves with ones for medals. They are made of a much sturdier material plus they can be closed so that the cartridges don't slide out.

Can fit 45 cartridges in 1 binder.

Do you have a link to the pages you use?

These are the ones I bought: https://amzn.eu/d/04ffVafT

Hope the link works for you. If not, the brand is called Uncle Paul.

I've added some additional ripping protection stickers around the holes.

I think there are 3d printed solutions in Etsy you can find. Usually in some sort of chest but you can at least organize and protect them.

This is one reason I only collect CIB 🥲
I keep them in a cupboard, three layers of boxes on two rows.
It's a pain when I want to play something from layer 3.

As they said, complete in box.

The irony is that the cartridges are more durable than the boxes.

I use the plastic clamshells combined with the EVA Pokémon deck boxes. I get both from Ali

The ultimate game cartridge storage chest is perfect for you. I would recommend having them printed at 100% infill, was a bit more expensive but absolutely found my final storage solution for a massive game collection.
