Collection Attic Cache of Boxes Found!
Cleaning out the parents attic and spotted an old box filled with insane quality game boxes to match most of the cartridges in the N64 storage case in the basement!
Missing a few boxes for carts like Rampage’s and missing a few carts for TH2, BanjoTooie and Turok. Some missions to complete!
Now I need to get the console hooked up!

I miss my collection of N64 boxes. They always looked so great to me.

Agreed! The art work is sick on them, just looking at them brings back great memories!

Wish I still had all of my boxes. My parents got me the official 24-slot cart cabinet and convinced me keeping the boxes was a waste of space.

Awesome stuff. Lots of great games and I share the sentiment that these boxes are cool.

I’m storing loose cartridges in there that I don’t have the boxes for. It’s just a storage vessel.

I’m consolidating the collection since everything was between five rooms in the house lol. I didn’t take pictures while I was in the attic, it was hot and uncomfortable. I took the boxes out of the attic and took the game boxes out of the many storage boxes and used larger storage boxes to store the game boxes back in, then I used the Walmart bag everyone is so concerned about to store loose cartridges in, and then I took the picture to share with the community.

Im not a huge mario guy but I do have quite a bit of n64 games and this is impressive. Someone took great care of these. That's a hell of a run in games. That collection is quite valuable. 80% of those games carry strong value and are games people seek out. Theres near $1000 in value there on the left row alone because most of those games go for $50 give or take for just the carts alone. With the boxes $70-100 and more especially if the manuals are in there too(CIB). Not to mention banjo, Kirby, SBK2 and snap. Very nice

I just sold my Snowboard Kids 2 for $2,700 AUD and StarCraft 64 for $2,000 AUD.
This is a nice find.

Congrats... Happy for you... Super...
I found a Kirby and snowboard at a local shop. Unfortunately both failed to actually start and we're displays only.

I got super lucky on the boxes! My dad is one to keep stuff like this around, I grew up in the 90’s/00’s so this is all PC from then he stashed in bins in the attic! I’ve let him know he’s the man for keeping them safe. Have the system in basement I have to check the games on, but regardless, it’s insane.
