I'm not sure if it is worth to do this unless you have a rare or sealed system
Or if shipping is fair to your location (I paid $75 only for shipping, but I'm in Canada)
I though I should post the info about this

I did want to protect/display the CV Purple Box I got last Winter, considering how it worth, I did really want to put it in an Acrylic Display Box
So, I did some search and find a company in Ohio that make custom acrylic display
http://www.casesforcollectibles.com/

Note that you could make display case for virtually any game console

The display case is simply wonderfull!
Here's a picture of it

I agree 100%. That's why I asked.
BTW, even though I said it before I have to say it again: That case looks great!

And like I said it too, I'm very happy with it

Hey,
That would be cheap for you since you're in Ohio , you can go there and pick it up

In case someone is wondering how much does that CV display cost, it cost me exactly $87,71 + shipping

[5-11under]

There's probably a few local places that could make such a thing. If shipping is too expensive, it might be worth checking locally. J-F, that does look pretty nice, though.

Maybe I should have checked for a company in Canada, but I admit that I was hurry to protect and preserve that Pre-Production system...

I'm going to need more of those cases for all my other Coleco products/toys so that might be worth checking in Canada
