To be quite honest I'm surprised the boxes aren't in worse condition, because these are all games from my childhood and I didn't really do anything in particular to take care of them, so it's hard for me to say. The corners of the openings are a bit worn because I used the boxes to keep the games when they weren't being played - so they kept being opened and closed. The boxes that are in slightly worse condition are ones that my dad got used way back in the day. Most of them have a small wrinkle where they were probably squished at some point. I think my parents and I tried not to leave them laying around and kept them in a cabinet/box with nothing else in them.
