Title: The SHOCKING truth about Hu Card sleeves....
Post by: PunkicCyborg on November 10, 2013, 04:33:28 AM
I just opened up a brand new Don Doko Don and to my amazement and disbelief I found out I've been living a lie.... All this time I have had my PCE games with the sleeve overlap on the bottom. When I get games used they are like 90% with the overlap on the bottom. But when I opened up this brand new game the truth was revealed to me  :shock:

So looks like I'm going to have to open all my games and flip the sleeves   #-o

I made a conscious decision bitd to use them the logical way, with the overlap on the bottom, so that you can slide the game out without flipping it over first.

I use scissors to cut the annoying, gratuitous hangnail of a flap on the sleeves.

Then, I realized that using the sleeves were annoying, so I tossed all my sleeves.

Now I just store HuCARDs loose.

:shock:
I perfer to just put the cards in all willy nilly, you never know what you're gonna get that way, top or bottom.  :)

Little know fact, CD games came face down.  :^o

Okay that one isn't even remotely true, but that's how I keep my PCE-CD's so that when I open them I can see the excitement on my face for the enjoyment that is about to occur.  8)

Man we need a HuCARD as art thread. Esty probably can recycle enough pictures  :lol:

Seeing as how 95% of my hucards are loose, I had no idea this was even a thing.

^^Same.

Makes no sense to keep the flap on the label side.

I opened a brand new Ninja Gaiden PCE a few years ago and I could have sworn that the sleeve flap was on the bottom. I wish I could remember for sure.

I keep my Hucards bent in a wool sweater in a bowl of benzine on top of a heater in direct sunlight.

I prefer acetone, but benzine works fine.

Whatever you do, stay away from the benzoyl peroxide. That stuff is harsh on wool.

Benzine closest approximation to real life everyday substances is gasoline, given the heat of the heater and sunlight and volitalte nature of benzine mixtures, I can only suspect this would create a large explosion in one's house.  Last time I checked that is a little more harsh the the bleaching properties of benzoyl peroxide.   :mrgreen: On the upside though the use of benzoyl peroxide might keep your hueys from getting acne.  :mrgreen:

I thought I saw a Hu Card shaped explosion in the distance this morning. It all makes sense now.
