Box Protectors

ColecoVision · ADAM · Clones

Measure first Box sizes vary between regions and print runs — the Australian console carton is not the North American one, and a cartridge box from one publisher will not fit a protector cut for another. Verify the dimensions on the vendor’s own listing against your own box before ordering.

Protectors are the cheapest thing you can do for a boxed collection and the easiest to get wrong. This is what the museum has found for each ColecoVision and ADAM box — 43 items across 6 categories, from 3 vendors. The museum sells nothing and takes nothing from these links; they are here because collectors keep asking where to get them.

Katana Collectibles The widest ColecoVision and ADAM range of the three.

About this list

The museum has no commercial relationship with any of these vendors, sells nothing, and earns nothing from these links — which is why every one of them carries rel="nofollow". The list exists because it is the question collectors ask most often after “what is my box worth?”

Vendor listings come and go. 3 of the 45 links recorded here point at listings that have since been removed; those are marked above rather than left to fail silently. If a link sends you somewhere unexpected, or you know a protector the list is missing, please get in touch.
