Complete In Box, or CIB, in the context of collectible interactive entertainment, refers to a game that includes the original box, game cartridge or disc, and any included manuals or inserts. For example, a retro console title designated as CIB would have the original packaging, game media, and instruction booklet.
The presence of all original components significantly impacts the collectibility and market value of these items. A complete copy demonstrates a higher degree of preservation and rarity than a loose cartridge or disc alone. Historically, maintaining all original packaging and documentation was not always a priority for consumers, making complete copies scarcer over time and increasing their appeal to collectors.
