I recently bought some used DS games and a couple of them came without boxes and I'd like to get some of the boxes new ones would've come with (I'm OCD that way.) and I saw on store.nintendo.com that they would sell me official boxes just without the art. Is there somewhere beside eBay that I can buy the official boxes with the art?
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
Not with the art. As you saw, the Nintendo store will sell you (as long as you're in the US) a replacement box. However, artwork is harder to come by since 'replacement' inserts are not made. You have to rely on someone selling discarded/unwanted artwork inlays.
You could try somewhere like here: http://shop.bresoftware.com/nintendo-ds.html (note I've never used them myself and cannot vouch for them). Unfortunately it's really a hit-or-miss prospect.
I used to have a blog link here. I'll put it back up when the blog has something to read.
there are sites that have the boxart available for printing if you don't mind having to print your own cover inserts — just google them.

Instead of having to deal with a bunch of DS boxes why not just get a case that can hold a bunch of DS games, something like the one CN offered. I have one of those and when I do get a new DS or 3DS game the game card just goes in there and the box the game came in just goes in the closet. Much easier to carry a bunch of games that way.

While those are nice, I'm kinda (Biggest understatement ever) OCD about this, and it's why I buy most of my games new, but I only use those cases when travelling and I prefer the cases the games come in.

I'm in the same boat as you @SkywardLink98, Whenever I buy a game I usually buy it new, but If I see a game I want and it's a used copy, I must have the official box and boxart to go with it, other wise i'm not interested, even if it was a game like castlevania.
When you say you're kinda OCD, I know what you mean, I too get frustrated about how people don't take care of their games when they go to trade them in at EB games or on a website. Why must I see good games without their box/boxart?? it's just (sorry just a second......ARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!) annoying, to say the least.

I'm with you guys.
I lost my copies of Mario Kart 7, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive: Dimensions and a part of me wants to track down the person who found them just so I can give them the boxes! D:
Well I can say that I agree with you guys at especially with the used game part which is one reason when I buy a new game I put it into my CN 3DS game case and the game cases go into the closet. That way if I do decide to trade them in I have the case and book to go along with the game.
