You can buy the empty cases from Nintendo for a nice cost, and then print out labels that perfectly fit the DS case. You can actually have a nice presentable row of GBA games on your shelf, and not have to use the annoying GBA cardboard boxes, which always fall down and get bent.

Oh yeah, a decent place to get used GBA games is half.com. The HK pirates don't sell there, and if you live in the US you can get almost all of the games for cheap $2.50 media mail, unlike those bull**** inflated shipping costs of like 6 and 7 bucks that alot of sellers charge on ebay.
Holy crap! Wow, that's a great idea -- I wonder why this didn't dawn upon me earlier? Seems like a great way to preserve your game art (Although it seems too late for my Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and F-Zero: Maximum Velocity boxes). One question though -- where do you get the glossy paper for the inserts? I think it'd be a shame to print the image out on vanilla office paper, but I'd think that you would need to sacrifice a DS insert to print out your GBA insert.

And on the HK pirates -- does that mean I probably can't get Aria of Sorrow for ten bucks on ebay for real?
