@CrazyRiverOtter

Here's a pro tip for anyone planning on doing this: print a "refurbished box" label and stick it to the cover if you do the marker thing. Collectors will thank you if you resell it. Drew touches on this in his follow-up video on DVD cases.

Thanks. I bought a CIB Zelda Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and just the box and manuals for Mario kart (I already had a boxed copy but was missing the manuals). The boxes were a bit squished. I used your method to get them straight again and it worked pretty well. I also picked up a couple box protectors for them. They are now perfectly straight and looking good!
