While I dont collect cardboard or paper, this find makes me super jealous. My local craigslist has specials such as dozens and dozens of RROD Xboxs and other areas of the world get dozens and dozens of awesome boxes. I cant wait to see the sale list once its up. I may break my habit and pick 1-2 up

Holy hell, what a great find. I can't wait until everything is sorted through, I bet there are more gems to be found!

I am filled with many strange and confusing emotions... I thought that my last haul was epic. This is the new benchmark for all future finders keepers. Congratulations you majestic beast!

Please tell me this is a sad attempt at trolling.

That is freaking amazing, it definitely sounds like you deserved to find a haul as great as this. Congratulations man! And if you happen across a Centipede accolade game boy box, I would love to buy it off of you if possible.

The reseals actually damaged them. When they did it years ago they sealed them so tight they bowed inwards. Any idea on how to fix that? Flatten them maybe?

Wow, this is just nuts. I for sure would have not gone to work the following day.

Congrats and looking forward to getting some stuff off you when you put them up for sale.

There is a video out there on "repairing" boxes. It pretty much involves flattening, soaking in water for a few seconds and sandwiching it under somthing heavy for a few days while it dries. The general consesus is it works, but your mileage may vary. Test on a cheap box and get the proceedure down before trying on something worth a bit more.

If you find the video, let me know. I found one on ironing them but dont think that was it. Thanks for the intell.

You should check out the box of NES boxes that has Jetsons, Dragon Warrior 4, and Blues Brothers in it. Since theres boxes to later NES games in there, you never know there could be a Bubble Bobble 2, Duck Tales 2, or even Flintstones 2 box deep down in there.

Man, looking at the few open boxes and then looking at all the unopened ones, there could literally be anything in them. Comes across 10 EVO boxes and manuals
