How to restore N64 cardboard game box, pilot wings 64 water and crush damage repair, can I fix it?

There are a few UK things I can't get in the states. Most of them are PC's, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, and the Atari ST. All of which were, and still are in many ways phenomenal computers. I had one chance to get a ST, the import fee by itself was enough to put a down payment on a house. I think the seller wanted around 220 pounds for the ST, and then it would have been 600 more pounds for import. 820 pounds for an ST. Of course I can use emulation for the games and for the system itself, it's just not the same though. Excellent video. I used to do this with my orignial Gameboy games too. Nes as well. They all came with either dust covers or plastic cases. Even so, I took great effort to keep them all from getting crushes. I made a bookshelf, not for books, but for cheap cardboard game boxes. Cheers brudda, graces and prosperity to you!

Do you suggest cleaning the surface of the box with furniture polisher?

Does restoring the box like this reduce the resale value? Im looking at purchasing a bit of a beat up box to have a CIB but I do expect I will sell off the collection when Im much older.

To be honest I’m not sure that a box this damaged would ever be worth anything, hence why I repaired it like this, I’m not planning to sell it, just wanted to hide the huge rip :) thanks for watching

I don't think it reduces its value, i think it just does not increase its value but it increases your chance of hitting a sale. The most important part for me is to be open and honest about it if you want to sell it i.e. mention in your ad that the box has been restored and provide repair details.

@@psylencecyI do it so it looks nice on the shelf. Value never really comes into it for me, but yes, if you do sell one make sure you note the damage to the buyer.

What kind of colors are you using to paint the vintage box ? Are those watercolors or mixed with something special?

OK you mentioned in video acrylic colors
