SNES Box Trays (Poll)

in Help Wanted!
So I've been working on getting a few SNES CIB's. I have gotten a few boxes that were missing their white game trays because they were such good deals, but now I don't know what to do. Is there a way to get actual OEM trays? Or am I stuck getting something like these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONE-1-SNES-Super-Nintendo-WHITE-BOX-INSERT-TRAY-NEW-/380448124028?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589479ac7c



Is it looked down upon to have those aftermarket trays? Obviously, I'd like the real thing if possible. If it's not possible, though, I think I would take what I can get (and I'll try to be more selective next time). Or should I not even get the trays because they're aftermarket?



Any info/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    Buy a lot of sports games that have them, pinch the trays and resell the lot. You'll have the trays for little to no money in the end

    Aftermarket trays are fine

    If you do any buying and selling, just always take out trays before selling again. I've amounted a nice collection of pamphlets, trays, bags, and dust covers through doing this.

    The aftermarket trays work just as well.

    If youre going to go after market, get them from the source! http://www.uncletusk.com/26-inserts



    But I agree w Maertens, buying and selling has allowed me to complete sooo many games. That way I build up an excess of trays, inserts, manuals, etc.

    this. I never sell games with dust covers, box protectors or the tray if I can help it(unless they are nicer games of course). But remember to let people know they are aftermarket trays if you end up selling them with it. If it is for your own collection, then do whatever makes you happy

    Check out the link I posted below. I've ordered twice and it has all been great. The individual Genesis cartridge boxes alone could be all they sold and I'd be a buyer every time.



    I think if you plan on keeping them or are going to sell them to someone who cares about playing the game most won't mind if it's a reproduction. Personally, I feel the box artwork on a lot of these games is absolutely amazing so if it is for my personal collection a quality reproduction box looks damn good.



    Also, until I clicked on the uncletusk link above and saw that they sell reproduction boxes, I just ordered 12 from this dude in Croatia. Found his store on Etsy; IMbAGames.
