Title: NEW HuCard Sleeves. Made in the USA.
Post by: SeymorOnion on July 22, 2012, 12:41:35 PM
Here is a direct link to where the Sleeves are being sold:
http://www.seymoronion.com/index_2.html

I ship to almost every country in the world.
To see if I ship to your country, simply add something to the Cart.
There's a list of countries I ship to, in a drop-down list, in the Cart.

You can click on the Thumbnails above to see a bigger picture.

In October of 2011, I hired a local Plastics Company to make over Thirty Thousand HuCard Sleeves.  :shock:
I also hired a local packaging company, during that time, to make some custom 25-Pack Boxes for them, and some Shipping Boxes.
The 25-Pack Boxes have a very simple design, to save on $, and the Shipping Boxes can hold up to Four 25-Packs.
It is cheaper, both on shipping fees (weight), and on Packaging Costs, to have had the custom "Four 25-Pack Shipping Boxes" made, especially when I ship 1 to 4 HuCard sleeve 25-Packs outside of the US.

Another important feature of the Shipper is that it's dimensions are perfect for both the Domestic and International Shipping Labels that my Shipping Software prints out.
This is one of the main reasons why I'm able to fill orders so quickly, as I do not have to fill out any shipping labels by hand.
The Postage gets paid the moment I print out a label, so I don't have to fork over any $ at the Counter at the Post office, saving time there too.
Also, Online Postage is a little cheaper than paying in person, and I pass that savings on to you all.  :wink:

Larger orders are shipped in standard off-the-shelf boxes, and smaller orders are shipped in a sturdy cardboard envelope, that's commonly used to ship CDs in. Both of them fully support the very same Domestic and International Shipping labels that I use on the boxes spoken of in the paragraph above this one.

If you'd like to read some more of the History of getting the Sleeves Made, you can check out the other Thread, started by MotherGunner, here:
https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10512.0

All proceeds from the Sales of the HuCard Sleeves, and from sales of the other stuff at my website, goes towards New Product Development,
except for the $ I set aside to ensure that my products can always be reordered when stock runs low.
I'm in this for the long term, and am doing this because of my love for Gaming.  8)

If you want to bookmark my website, please bookmark the following URL, so it will load the Main Page instead of the HuCard Page, whenever you visit:
www.SeymorOnion.com (http://www.seymoronion.com/)

All New Product Releases, and Status Updates, are announced on the Main Page.
Also, the site is currently undergoing a redesign.
It is still fully functional in it's current form, so don't worry, your orders will go through just fine.
The Direct Link will still work when it's done, too, but you might miss out on some of the New Features if you bookmark the Direct Link instead of the Main Page, and forget to click "Main" in the menu.  :-"

Just want to be the first to say the quality of these sleeves are the absolute BEST and I was completely blown away with my purchase.  They look and feel just like OEM sleeves and I would argue they are better.  Also an important thing to note is that "New Product Development" SeymorOnion mentions include plans for the potential release of HuCard trays which I hope are available in the future!

I got a set of these a while back as well. Much nicer than the other aftermarket HuCard sleeves I've purchased.
Title: Re: NEW HuCard Sleeves. Made in the USA.
Post by: DarkKobold on July 24, 2012, 07:25:32 AM
I got my set, love 'em. They are near impossible to tell from the originals. However, some originals are ribbed, while others aren't? Was that the later TTI games?

I wish your cases you have planned would be closer reproductions to the original than you currently are thinking. I'd rather pay $1+ than have a fake looking TG-16 case. Additionally, you could make more of the holder bars, since plenty of cases in this world have broken ones of those. Your choice, but I'd appreciate you weighing in on that idea.

Also, I'd love to know, with 30,000 ordered, how many have you sold? I'd imagine there aren't 30,000 turbografx games left in existence! (kidding, but 30,000 is a huuuuuge number!)

Any vague ETA on the HU cases?

Post by: 8bitForLife on July 24, 2012, 08:48:07 PM
i ordered 5 myself. I would also like to say instead of the all in one case project I would rather get like the post above me cases that are closer to the originals namely tb16 pce and sega saturn. If someone would start making replica saturn cases they would be a rich man as i know people would pay good money for them and extra for good packing materials since usps sucks at careful handling.

I've sold several thousand HuCard Sleeves, so far.
I had to make so many all at once in order to get decent pricing, and to help offset the costs of tooling.

That's actually on purpose.  :D
It makes it easier for me to test out some stuff that's being designed for the 404 Page.

Any vague ETA on the HU cases?

Prototyping can take up to a month, to make sure I get all the case designs perfected.
The Kickstarter Fundraiser/Pre-Order Campaign will take 30 Days.
Manufacture will take between 1 to 3 Months.
That sets a tentative ETA to December, at the earliest.
I don't have enough $ to start the Prototyping Phase, yet, but I'm getting closer.

Bold mine, and AMEN.
The same goes for every package carrier, really.
Rest assured that this issue is in the front of my mind, and I take it very seriously when designing custom shipping boxes, and packing methods.

I would certainly like to repro the big Saturn/Sega CD Jewel Case Boxes, Inner Trays, and spacer foam.
Same goes for the original style TG16 Tray w/Plastic Arm.

The thing is, they are rather fragile, and I'm going to need to have a lot of extra $ saved up,
so I'll be able to deal with the ones that arrive, broken, at my Warehouse.
This mostly applies to the Sega CD/Saturn Cases.

The potential for damage while en route from the manufacturer to my Warehouse, for the OEM TG16 Trays & Arms,
can be mitigated by having them just send them separately, and I'll just glue the arms in myself,
or let you guys do it when your orders arrive,
or alter the design somewhat so they can snap in, and no glue would be required.
I could have them make some extra arms too, so they could also be sold separately, to people that just need the arms.

Would you guys mind if I made the following alterations to the OEM Style Cases, for SegaCD/Saturn?
1. Make the Manual Holder a hard transparent pocket, with a semi-circle cutout near the middle, on the inside of the case, so you can grip the manual for easy removal.
This will prevent sagging manuals, and indentation of the four OEM Manual holding Tabs.
It will also allow support for the shorter SegaCD/Saturn Manuals.
You can print out a single-sided insert/page that'll be visible from the outside, while the case is closed, so it would like like it came with a Tall Manual.
They'll probably make some for that very purpose, over at TheCoverProject.net (http://thecoverproject.net/) once I start making the cases.

2. A Push-Button style CD Center-Hole Gripper.
It will remove the need for a Foam Rectangle Spacer, to keep the disk secured inside the case.

3. Mold some small "Pinchers" into the inner tray, to support the addition of an extra smaller tray or two, to handle the few multi-disk Saturn Games.
The extra smaller trays would be sold separately, because there aren't that many multi-disk Sega CD/Saturn Games.
Note: The Game Case would look exactly like the OEM Case from the outside, when the case is Closed, and the rear tray would fully support OEM Rear Tray Inserts.

Unfortunately, I don't think that I can make either of the above, on my first run, as they might require making a Second Mold for the Clear Plastic parts; ie: another 10 to 30 thousand dollars.  :shock:

My First Run Plans involve a Single Modular Mold that will be used to make a bunch of similar-but-different Cases, all with the same base materials.
I might be able to designate part of the Master Mold to those clear plastic parts, and have the cavities for the other case designs filled with a temp brick or something, but the bigger the mold gets, the more it costs, and there is a point of diminishing returns, where it'd wind up cheaper to just make a dedicated mold for certain things, instead of a single massive mold.

Thanks for the suggestions, though.
I'm going to look into reproducing the OEM SegaCD/Saturn and TG16/PCE case designs, after the first run of my current designs gets made.

Post by: 8bitForLife on July 26, 2012, 10:32:26 AM
well it is your project and i would gladly fork over money for sega cd cases and saturn cases. Im just anal about it being close to the original as possible so the potential value wont decrease that much it not being an original case.  Its not only my game collection but it might take care of an operation of a funeral cost if one ever should arise.

your ideas on pce cases are super btw iv been reading about your project for awhile

Man, I shouldve bought more of these things... after comparing my originals to Seymor's new sleeves, I couldnt bare to see my HuCards in those old sleeves anymore!

Now I only have a few left of my original order, and about 6 - 7 loose games on the way. Guess I'll be ordering more very soon

I figured that I might as well swap out all of my plastic sleeves for these new ones.

Sweet!
I've got em packed up, and ready to go. I'll drop them off @ the Post Office tomorrow (Saturday) morning.  :wink:
They should arrive on Wednesday, or Friday, at the latest.

If you have a nice sized Mailbox, make sure it's clear of Mail, starting on Wednesday, so your postman can fit em in there, and ya won't have to go to the post office to pick em' up.
The package is approx 9 x 6 x 2 inches.

I'm glad ya like em'.  :wink:

You're my first Hawaiian customer. It's good to hear that the USPS got them to you so quickly.

Ever since the announcement of the USPS's downsizing, earlier this year, I've noticed that the # of hops packages take, to get to my customers, has been steadily decreasing. Most packages are going right from Houston to the Target State or Country.

I know a lot of people knock the USPS, even me, on some occasions, but it seems like they are sincere about improving their level of service. I hope they keep it up!  8)

well being in Hawaii sucks because if i get screwed and packages go through Richmond CA, it well take a month to get to me or not at all. that distribution center is a black hole.

http://www.disappearednews.com/2011/12/indefinite-detention-post-office.html

and several of my stuff has come from there which sucks because I got a brand new dc controller in box and box was trashed and I'm still waiting on 3 games for the dc and 1 crazy taxi action figure. The 3 home-brew games I bought for the dc just arrived in new york so I hope to god they don't go through Richmond ca. i think they ship stuff from there on a tugboat.

I'm not sure what you mean by "for people to replace the color changing parts"
unless you are referring to the early model SNES Consoles (the top half turned yellow).

Replacement Shells for Carts and Consoles (http://www.seymoronion.com/Future/Console_Cart_Shells.html) are on my To Do List.
I have em' scheduled for sometime after the Game Cases and HuCard Trays are made, and have been selling for a while.

Are you referring to HuCards such as the Arcade Card Pro?
Here is a picture of an Arcade Card Pro, and it's official Sleeve:
(http://www.seymoronion.com/_Work_Area/Arcade_Card_Pro.jpg)

My sleeves do not have those two small holes on the right.

If you can fit the Arcade Card Pro into a standard non-hole sleeve, then it will also work with my Sleeves, because mine are the same dimensions as the OEM sleeves w/o holes.

If you PM me your mailing address, I can send you one to test out, if you promise to post pictures of your attempts to get it to work with the HuCards you are asking about.

You can cut some holes in my sleeves, if it is necessary, but I wouldn't recommend breaking-off the tabs in the Arcade Card Pro Case, because that would impact it's resale value.

My Replacement SNES Cartridge Shells will come with both halves (Front & Back), as well as new Screws (Phillips Head +).
They will also have the two extra holes/slots where the connector is, so FX-Chip Games, like Star Fox, can fit inside, without you guys needing to make any modifications to it.

I will never be selling any of my turbo/pc-e stuff, haha so I'm not worried about resale value.  I need to check my games, but I think it's only the tennokoe bank card and the arcade card cases that use those small tabs.  If that's the case I'm not worried about it.  It was more of a curiosity thing.  I do plan on picking up some of these lovely sleeves soon.  Thanks for the reply.

I've heard that the HuCard Trays for the Super System Card, Arcade Card, Tennoke Bank Card, won't fit inside a standard Audio CD Case.
Have you found this to be true?

I don't know what the deal is with the Street Fighter II. It appears to come with both a Quad CD Case and a Single CD Case. :?:

Oh, and if anyone can recommend a good Hole Punch, that can make a hole in a HuCard Sleeve that's the same size and shape as the aforementioned Japanese HuCards, I'd appreciate it.
I've been thinking about offering some pre-punched *5-Packs for completionists.
It's ok if it can only punch one hole at a time.

*Assuming my HuCard Sleeves have the same outer dimensions as the ones with holes in em, and assuming that there are only 5 HuCards that need them?
Just how many different HuCards came with the hole-punched sleeve?

The white trays fit standard cases, most of 'em anyway.  The only one that doesn't is the Arcade Card Pro, which came in a slightly thicker jewel case and with a slightly different white tray thing.

I don't know what the deal is with the Street Fighter II. It appears to come with both a Quad CD Case and a Single CD Case. :?:

All of 'em originally came in double sized jewel cases; if you find one in a single sized case, the owner did it.

If you put the Arcade Card (while it is in it's Vinyl Sleeve), and it's Manual, inside of a standard sized CD Jewel Case, that has no tray in it, will the lid close properly?

There's a ton of white-tray Japanese HuCard Games?
If that's the case, (pardon the pun) then I probably have a lot of hole-punchin to look forward to (if I can find a good hole-puncher).  :shock:
At least, until I can start making my own trays. They won't require Holy HuCard Sleeves.

I assume you mean the AC Pro (an AC Duo fits in a standard case with the tray), but yeah.  It's physically the same size as a Tennokoe Bank card, which came in a standard size case with white tray.

There's a ton of white-tray Japanese HuCard Games?

They switched sometime in '92, so maybe forty titles have the white trays.

So, there really wasn't any reason for them to make the Case and Tray for the AC Pro a little thicker than the others? Weird.  :-k

Thanks for the "Maybe Forty" estimate. I'm working on the Tableset for the Punched-Sleeves.
Looks like I can stop at the 25-Pack QTY.
I have the other HuCards set up a little differently, and want to make sure the New Variant is set up similarly.
Now you can change desired QTY in the cart, for each QTY Pack, and not have to mess with drop-down menus, unless you are dealing with Reseller Packs.
So, if someone needs, say, 26, they can get a 25 and a 5 (30), instead of two 25's (50) AND the calculated shipping will work correctly in conjunction with that (as well as other combos).

Got my box of 25 sleeves. They are absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much SeymorOnion!  :clap:
You're welcome!
I'm glad ya like em'.  8)

yes the yellowing on game carts some games only half yellow like the systems.
Man, that's weird!
My Replacement SNES Cartridge Shells will come with both halves (Front & Back), as well as new Screws (Phillips Head +).
They will also have the two extra holes/slots where the connector is, so FX-Chip Games, like Star Fox, can fit inside, without you guys needing to make any modifications to it.
Thats awesome and ty for responding

I haven't found the right hole puncher jut yet, but I'm still looking.

I wanted to let ya'll know that the Reseller Packs for the non-holy HuCard sleeves are available again.  :wink:

This time around, I tried (safely) fitting as many as I could in each of the 3 Flat Rate Box Types: RR Box A, Medium FRB and Large FRB.
I also compared the rates against UPS, FedEx, and non-flat-rate USPS Priority (Domestic)
and non-flat-rate First Class & Priority International.
As it turns out, the shipping methods I'm now using for them are the best bang for the buck.

The Consumer Packs are still available too, for those of you that only need a few.

You're Welcome.  :wink:

Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 100 C (that's about 212 F) can cause soft/flexible Vinyl and Plastics to become gooey, or melt, or warp.  :shock:

The most probable place this might happen, is in a poorly ventilated attic.

I don't use Vinyl sleeves anymore personally since I can't stand the melting/color fading/damage to HuCards, etc. Now I use special plastic sleeves which are of collector/archive quality. That is, they are non-acidic, sized to fit, and won't transfer artwork/stickers/paint on HuCards to the sleeve.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but not one of the many hueys I own has had its labels even slightly defaced by the slip cover (originals or onion's).
Title: Re: NEW HuCard Sleeves. Made in the USA.
Post by: Trenton_net on January 31, 2014, 07:09:14 AM
I've purchased many HuCards from japan, where the sleeve is stuck to the card. Pulling the sleeve apart from the card sometimes ends up pulling some of the label with it too. So I guess I should re-phrase and say It's really more about other people not Obey'ing properly. :-) After seeing that it was possible to peel off the label, I guess I figured I might as well not take the chance.

I'm totally gonna buy some of these replacement sleeves.  But as for the originals, I concur that over the years they've gotten kinda tacky/sticky.  Just from sitting!  Has anyone had any success cleaning them?  I was thinking about letting them soak in soap and water but I seem to remember doing this before without much result.

Thanks for stickying this thread!

Aaron, your 3D Printed cases look awesome.  8)
I don't plan to start making Injection-Molded HuCard Cases anytime soon, and will talk to you about it, before I start to get into that.
I haven't read your Making Of thread, but am assuming you've purchased an expensive 3D Printer and/or may have already printed a lot of cases, and wouldn't want to interfere with recovering the $ you've invested into that project.  :wink:

Sorry I haven't been on the forums much, and missed the development of your 3D Printed cases, as well as a lot of other developments by other members. I got a lot of catching up to do!

As for what's up at Onion HQ:
I still have well over Ten Thousand of my HuCard Sleeves in stock. Supply is not an issue. Can also make more if/when stock gets low.
My sister is still helping out with Shipping, when she's not making fanarts of MLP: FiM stuff.  :mrgreen: Website & eBay orders are filled within 24 to 72 hours.

Still working on the detached garage remodel. All that remains to be done is:
1. The drywall. Must buy more, and put it up. Also need to mud and tape the seams.
2. Installation of the air ducts, and moving the Window AC Unit to a different location. The #10-3 240v wiring is already in place.
3. Bathroom venting/exhaust system install, Bathroom Light Fixture installation, Water Heater Install, Hot & Cold potable plumbing install.

Strange work-schedule, and oddball weather, is slowing down completion of the above, making it hard to give an estimate on when I'll be finished.

Things I can do and/or finish, after switching focus back to new product development:
1. Sewer plumbing and hookup to be installed by a pro sometime in the future.
2. Toilet, Sink, and small walk-in shower installation.
3. Lowering the level of the dirt/land around the perimeter of the Detached Garage, and installation of the rest of the roof's gutter system.

Speaking of New Product development, I'm still going to wait until I finish the Detached Garage Remodel, before picking what to make next. Going to need the additional free time of not needing to work on remodeling, in order to catch up with, and research, the current state of retro gaming projects, and availability of other retro gaming products.

He would have to put in an order for thousands and thousands to make the price point work.

That would require a big gamble: put up a lot of money, pray the final product is good, sell thousands of cases for a niche system when it is cheaper to buy TV SPORTS Basketball.

As you know, real life can pose many challenges.

You don't have to literally die to become totally consumed with major issue(s).

My gut tells me that something bad happened to Seymour Onion, so I totally understand how you feel. I share the sentiment.

However, to feel better I prefer to spin this positively: SeymourOnion has been working as a Buddhist farmhand. He couldn't be happier. Just the other day he successfully milked a pregnant mare.

His ebay profile says he lives in Pearland which is near me.

However, all of his eBay reviews show him going MIA.  All feedback since Jan 2017 are  "no communication, no item shippment, etc"

    New Order Hiatus   
Friday, February 17'th, 2017 @ 12:00 PM CST.

   All New Orders are being temporarially suspended. In other words, I've removed the pages that let you place an order, and have taken
 down my eBay Listings.

   I have a Huge Backlog of orders, that are being filled ASAP. I don't know how long it's going to take, and it wouldn't be right to continue
 accepting new orders, until I finish dealing with all of the pre-existing orders.

   In the meantime, you can check with the websites listed below, to see if they still have any of my HuCard Sleeves in stock.

Not sure if this was already discussed, but is there anyone making recreation yellow sponges / foams for the Jap HuCards? I would be interested in getting some. Thanks!

Tony

I toss the skanky ones and haven't been too concerned about replacing them (hueys stay put without foam anyway), but it's an interesting idea.  I'd think you could get sheets of foam from some place like hobby lobby and cut 'em down to size.

Yeah, I suppose trying out craft stores and whatnot. Trick is getting the correct thickness and color, etc. 'Cause, you know, O.C.D.....

Is there any other sources for these card slips other than eBay? Prices are kind of all over the place there when you can find em.

Maybe it has been discussed already, but wouldn't all these new aftermarket vinyl sleeves have the same problem as the old ones? That is, over time (through no fault of your own), they become sticky and un-usable? Or was it something to do with the formulation they were using at the time? Personally, all of my HuCards are in card protector sleeves (The kind people use for board games or trading card games).
