Just some thoughts...

I've noticed there's been interest in variants in NES collecting, like one game has a slightly different cart/box compared to another or a complete printing screw up.

Does anybody think the collecting of label mis-prints or Not For Resale 32X games will increase? Or will most people be happy with a basic collection?

Usually it's the non-not-for-resale versions that are more desirable, I think. (combination of NFR versions of many games being more common and the big NFR symbol on the cart itsself)

There's a good amount of Star Wars misprints out there.

I don't think 32x collectors care about the upside down labels. I actually try and get the correct labels because they look nicer, hehe.

Hmm, I forgot to mention something. There's also two different kinds of cardboard trays (the cover with the game art goes over it. Cartridge and manual go in tray). One kind has the cartridge holder perpendicular to the artwork. The other has the cartridge parallel to the artwork. In other words, horizontal and vertical cart holders.

I've very rarely seen the horizontal version. =/

can I get a shot of that? AND I think unless you're that guy who has to have everything, then it doesn't really matter.

The horizontal tray? Well, I did happen across a game with that tray (RBI Baseball '95) but I never took a picture of it sadly.

There was also an eBay auction for Doom 32X and it had the horizontal tray but I don't see it anywhere.

If I find a picture of it, I'll be sure to post it here.

Finally, I found a pic of the horizontal tray.

Trust me, it exists but is pretty uncommon.

That has an opening at the top and bottom. It's just an illusion with the photo.

Some boxed are white on the inside, some are cardboard colored.

He means the tray that holds the game, not the box itself.

!! I'm an idiot. I didn't even notice that.
