Your collection - post a photo - show us what'cha got!

Everything is actually spread through two rooms.

One was the designated tv room, but that one got so full I had to start piling things up in another room.

Pretty soon once I'm out of space again it will spread to a new room soon enough, so we'll see. :3

Dam you're going to need to get insurance on that collection at that rate. Like people do with comics and coins. Funny just watched a PSN friends youtube channel in the same situation. He's been collecting movies since DVD came out and has like 60k-70k invested but can't find a company to insure movies/games.

Finally, another collection that's got both new and old in it... love it!:D

What Mega Mans do you have on the GB? One of them looks like V... if it is, than you're a very rich man. And those N64 games look so... mint.

II, IV and V. I'd love to own III but I haven't found one yet for a reasonable price. I found IV(sealed!) and V three years ago at the local mom & pop for $65 and $70 respectively. They must've been under their radar because they never hesitate to jack the price on rarer stuff like a semi nice cib pokemon emerald for $99 or a cart only ogre battle 64 for $150:roll:.

Wow, talk about lucking out. You walked out like a bandit dude. They likely saw auctions for cart only copies on eBay and priced them that way because complete copies are very uncommon.

I got the first 3 (along with the Million Seller versions of I & II) but would love to have IV and V to complete my set. But like you, I can't find them at a reasonable price ($400 for IV and $500 for V is just a tad beyond "reasonable" for me:lol:).

I even watched a CIB mega man III auction get up to $350+ :shock:. Still, gotta love the hunt. Found my mint phantasy star online I & II plus at a small town ebgames a couple years ago marked down to $4.99! Found my NBA 2k3 at the same store, forgetting NCAA 2k3 is the super rare one. Realized when I got home it probably wasnt even worth the $3.00 I paid for it lol

It's because they're still sealed, hence the stickers. ;P

Probably doesn't want to risk ripping the shrink wrap, or he just too lazy to remove them since they new anyways.

Thanks Wiggyx, only 4 or 5 of them are still sealed, but I assure you they will be openned eventually. Some still have the shrink wrap, but were opened with an exacto knife so they just look sealed. I'm in the middle of setting up a dedicated 16 bit gaming station for my genesis and TG16 and we're going to break it in by having a weekend TG marathon starting with Cratermaze and Ordyne which I never got to play as a kid, but always wanted to. I agree games are for playing!

Damn, you're just going to open them? Aren't TG16 games worth a ton of money just for complete copies? I can't imagine how much sealed ones go for...:whistle2:k

I'd sell the sealed ones and then buy a mint/complete copy if I were you.

For what it's worth, I didn't spend too much on the sealed ones; those are pretty common as far as TG games go and the difference in value for boxes of comparable quality would be minimal after factoring in shipping. Plus I bought them with the intention to play them. I'm the original owner of quite a few of them and that small library of HuCards has taken me 20 years to piece together.

One weird thing about sealed boxed TG games is that over time, the shrink wrap shrinks, pulling the sides in and distorting the flimsey cardboard into horrible wavy shapes. They want to be unsealed and played:)

Edit: After a closer look, It looks like sealed shrink wrap warping is common with a lot of older cardboard packaging.

Not opening games is a lesson my dad learned with comics. He spent thousands on them and got hundreds back when he needed to sell them. The worst part is he never got to even read them so he doesn't know shit about them. All it did was make him feel resentment with the hobby and part of the reason was he was a comic hoarder comparable to those who collect sealed games. Now I'm trying to get him back into comics this time telling him to pick the art and stories he likes and to actually read them before boarding them for storage. And to realize like 99% of the hobby depreciates in value. Don't ever expect to even recoup half of the face value just buy what you want to understand the story, not because it has a cool cover.

true enough but there are some comics that are worth a ton sealed brand new. same with games. but for the most part it is kind of dumb.

@iNCREDiPiNOY

just wow. so many foreign versions of films too...why might i ask lol
 
Comics don't come sealed (well, at least 99.9% of them don't). They are graded on condition, but "new" isn't a term that applies. "Uncirculated" is about as close as it gets to new in the comic world ;)

Also, I don't think iNCREDiPiNOY is living in the US at the moment (even though his profile says he does). I feel like I saw him talking about it elsewhere on the forum..

Yes, of course, thank you! I haven't been in the comic scene for years now (nearly 10), so that completely slipped out of my vocabulary/memory. I pretty much unlearned it. Heh.

I doubt this thing was worth much even back then, but I wouldn't have given it up for anything because I was super into Spawn at the time. And this came directly from a member of the staff at the McFarlane headquarters, which made it even more special. Back in those days, McFarlane and the other artists and toy sculptors would actually come talk to us on the official Spawn forum, but now everyone's too busy trying to make money off of Halo and sports while the Spawn franchise keeps degrading. 'Tis a damn shame.

I actually have them down there as a safety precaution. The cases are too fragile to be dropped. The closer they are to the ground, the closer they'll stay there, and also the less people who come over will want to bend down and pick them up to look at. ;D

Like 99% of comics even from the golden and silver age are worthless.

Too many people bought comics thinking that will pay for their kids college in the future.

That same problem is coming to games.

You see a lot of people on CAG now talking about the value of games and the monetary gain. I do it myself. As well as the game hoarding. Sort of like my dad did with comics. The amount he had anyone could tell he couldn't have read them all. Plus with his lack of knowldge for the amount of comics he owned you could tell he was hoarding, buying by cover art, buying multiple dupes thinking value will go up etc. Everything i seen my dad do in the comic industry i see happening to the game industry.

The bad thing is my dad thought it would have a much higher return rate. Which it doesn't for what you spend thousands on you'll get back hundreds.

He learned the same lesson with sports trading cards. Spent thousands and got back hundreds. Part of it was being in the market while it was booming and thinking stuff like Mark and Sammy's rookie cards would go up in value from their battle on homeruns. Plus the market on trading cards died more then the others.

That's why I said the "most valuable" comics I had were those two... I didn't imply they're valuable, just that out of all the comics I had, those two had higher values than anything else.:lol:

I think the difference between comics and video games is that comics arrived in an age where collecting wasn't much a of a hobby. These days, people collect pretty much anything. Plus, the most desirable comics are the really old ones, so you have to go back decades before you were born to find the real gems which makes it difficult to attract new collectors. Games came of age only in the 70s/80s, so it's still easy to find and collect pretty much anything. And another thing, during the age of comic collecting, values were basically determined by print magazines/guides (like Wizard/Overstreet) based on speculative supply/demand factors. Games have had the opportunity to be value on a more realistic basis thanks to sites like eBay.

I'm not saying the game collecting market won't crash, it likely will. But I don't think it'll be as severe as the comic book market because I think it's a healthier market. But again, I definitely know what you're saying and definitely acknowledge that the market could crash at any time (even tomorrow!).

1. I barely have any
2. The market is as dead as a door nail they wouldn't even be worth selling unless someone is in a struggle. Most of it is worth less then the cover price.

Kevin Smith should be a good lesson in comics. He had a collection in the early 90s in the boom of the market. His collection in the boom of the market was valued at 10k+ he ended up selling his entire collection for $2,500 in store credit which he sold off to fund his first movie clerks. The market was dead for them even when it was good lol.
