Ok... Photobucket is really
ing up my links. They show some images full size, but others are shown downsized in their frame (wherein using right click and "view full image" works.
Alright, it's been just over a year but here's my collection. It's grown a bit since I last posted. It's gonna be a long post...
Overall room
Ok... so here we have a few pics of my ultra cramped room... hopefully this will change by the end of the year. That third pic shows my wide cabinet and storage boxes that hold most of my sealed games. All of my games are complete with their original boxes/manuals. No generic cases here!
I have a lot of doubles and sealed games so... don't worry if you think you've seen something twice (or thrice in some cases).
GBC/A cabinet
So lets start with my Game Boy Color games. Pretty small but I have pretty much everything I want here. I haven't added much here since last year.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Shantae is easily my single most valuable game. Yu-Gi-Oh has three very rare cards inside, otherwise the game itself is worthless. Each one of the Zeldas and Harvest Moons are worth a bit as well.
Next up are my GBA games. I added a few games since last posting but I still need to pick a few more.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Ninja Five-O is probably my second most valuable game. Pokemon Fire Red, for some reason, is worth a lot when CiB.
Black bookcase
Here are some of my bigger boxed CEs (mostly from the PS3), big box PC games and long box PS1 games. One of the two Ni No Kuni Wizard's Editions, HD Neptunia V Special Editions, Goldeneye 007, and Virtue's Last Reward bundle are all sealed, the rest aren't. The MGS2 Premium Package (import) is pretty uncommon but I'm not sure of it's worth.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: The Ni No Kuni Wizard's Editions are still worth a decent amount, even the opened/complete copy... hopefully they keep going up!
More CEs (again, mostly PS3), HD gen (PS3/360/Wii) guides, and DS/PSP guides. All the games pictures here are sealed/new.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: A couple of these games are worth quite a bit because they're sealed. I have a few rare guides too but I don't follow or collect guides much anymore...
Beige bookcase
Here are some of my bigger CEs and also some random import figures. All the CEs pictured here are sealed/new, besides Killzone 3, Skyrim and Batman AA (those are opened/complete).
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: The X-blades Royal Bundle is rare as hell but I'm not sure if it's wroth anything. I also have a UK import Ni No Kuni Wizard's Edition (it was only $50!).
A majority of my guide collection is here, along with my artbooks and a few magazines. Again, I'm not as big on guides anymore. Top shelf are artbooks and magazines. Those two white binders are where I'm sticking smaller/thinner artbooks. I plan to design a spine for the second one some day...The second shelf are my PS1 guides.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Most of my PS1 guides are fairly rare RPG guides but have lost their value over the years. I even have a few of the "Collectors Edition" PS1 guides. I have a few rare artbooks too: Xenogears Perfect Works, Hyrule Historia CE, Journey (signed!), Radiant Historia and Xeboblade Archives.
More guides. PS2 guides are in the upper shelf, half of the middle shelf are misc (SNES, GB, Saturn, Sega CD) guides, and the rest are CE guides.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: A few here and there... but I'm not all that big on guides anymore.
Smaller cabinets 1
My Game Boy collection. I added a few over the last year, but there's still a dozen or so that I want but these are so
ing expense to get as CiB. I have both the Square release and SunSoft re-release of all the FF games. All the other doubles are due to the original release and player's Choice release. That Mr. Do! IS NOT rare... I got it from a seller who decided to completely mention that it's a German copy (which is worthless).
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Castlevania Legends & Adventure II and Kid Icarus are probably the most valuable here, but even stuff like Barbie, Zelda, the FFs and Kirby 2 are all worth quite a bit because they're complete (and are in fantastic condition!).
Nearly all of my PS1 collection. I have almost everything I want, besides a dozen or so games. It was touch completing some of the Atlus games here because they came with stickers or charts. This is probably my favorite system to collect for.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: So many... Tron Bonne, Mega Man Legends II, Persona 1/2, Suikoden II, Brigandine, Tales of Desinty I/II, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Valkyrie Profile are the creme of the crop but most of these are worth a decent amount.
Most of my PC games... nothing amazing here.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Alice was pretty rare but not so much anymore.
Rotating shelf
Opened DS games and all of my standard sealed/new PSP games. I play most of my DS games on an Acekard (and before that, an R4) and I have a hacked PSPgo, so I never really had a need to open my these games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Radiant Historia (1st print), Infinite Space, and one of the (new/sealed) Crisis Cores are the foil cover and are worth some money. That Pokemon Platinum, even though it's very rare, isn't worth that much for some reason...
More new/sealed PSP games and my PS2 collections editions. I had some spacing issues... normally I keep my sealed/new games completely separate from my opened games. Also got a few plushies here.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: New copies of Legend of Heroes II are pretty valuable I think. That Kingdom Hearts Final Mix+ Platinum import is worth a bit of money.
My small 360 collection. I got sick of MS's shitty consoles and moved on to the PS3 and never really rebuilt my collection.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Tales of Vesperia CE and Mass Effect 1 CEs are pretty rare.
Wii and original Xbox games. I'm running out of room here.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Zelda Skyward Sword bundle and Prime Trilogy are pretty valuable... Fire Emblem, F1 2009, and Fritz Chess are moderately valuable.
PS3 collection... I got a few imports here (love Sony's region free stance!). I try to keep my PAL CEs separated from my normal NTSC games since I have so many here.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: A few games here are moderately valuable but I think Demon's Souls LE and Assassin's Creed LE are probably bit more valuable than the rest.
My GameCube collection... this is where my collecting started. My GC collection didn't grow much for a few years, but over the last year, I picked up quite a few more games and still plan to pick some another dozen or so.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Quite a gems here... I have all the Wind Waker variants I think: regular Wind Waker, Wind Waker/Master Quest combo, Wind Waker/Prime combo (very valuable), and the PAL Wind Waker LE import (with a cool gold case!). There's also a couple of moderately rare titles: Skies of Arcadia, Gotcha Force, Cubivore and the GameStop exclusive Resident Evil sets.
Ghetto sliding shelf
My ghetto slide out shelf... I put those slider feet on the bottom and slide this into a small space between my desk and my beige bookshelf.:lol: I got all my regular edition PS2 games here and all my opened PSP games. I think the PS2 is my biggest collection. I could weed this collection a bit though. I collected a few Steelbooks but quickly got out of it because they're so easily damaged. The three steelbooks from the Operation Rainfall games, along with the special box and artbook from HMV is a neat set though.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Eh... besides .hack 4 and Rule of Rose, not much worth noting here. Atlus keeps reprinting their games so nearly all of those have lost their value. I believe that Kingdom Hearts BbS CE import and Crisis Core imports are pretty rare.
Smaller cabinets 2
My big box Working Designs PS1 games, DC, SNES, NES and Genesis games. Ignore the new/sealed Skyward Sword and Majora's Mask, those aren't technically part of my collection (they're my secret stash!
). Besides nearly doubling SNES collection, most of this cabinet hasn't changed much. I'm still missing a lot of SNES games that I want.
/ I don't bother with NES games anymore (too hard to find games in good shape) and those two Genesis games I found on the cheap.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: I think most of my NES games are pretty valuable.
Wide cabinet (CiB games)
My Saturn and Sega CD games... I'm pretty pound of these and the condition they're in, given how hard it is to replace long-box cases. I'm almost done with my Saturn/SCD wants but I'm missing some really expensive titles here.
( I think I have the nicest opened copy of Dragon Force ever. And I have both variants of the Lunar games and I got a "defect" copy of Lunar where the manual has two covers!
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Quite a few of these are worth a bit of money.
Start of my SEALED/NEW game collection.
My sealed GB/C/A collection. I picked up most of these on the cheap... I don't really purposefully buy sealed/new games unless I get a good deal on them.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: I haven't followed the value of these all that closely but I'd imagine RE Gaiden, Dragon Warrior Monsters, and Castlevania Circle/Harmony/Aria are probably worth a bit.
Nearly all of my sealed 3DS and DS games. I don't have a 3DS yet but BestBuy's been having some rad sales on 3Ds games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Radiant Historia (1st print) and Super Robot Taisen (1st print) are probably the most valuable here. I'm not entirely sure on most of these though...
It's kinda hard to see the depth here because the cabinet is so cramped but mostly seen here are my sealed/new PS2 games, Wii and DS games. There's a few Wii imports here too.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Most of the .hacks, Rule of Rose, Shadow Hearts and Xenosaga III (lenticular cover) are all pretty valuable on the PS2 side. Skyward Sword, RE4 CE and the Pokemon stuff are also pretty valuable as sealed/new. I'm sure there's a few others as well but it's too difficult to follow.
Some sealed PS3 games and GC games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: All the Zeldas/Marios are probably worth some money and hopefully keep climbing!
More sealed PS3 games and sealed Wii games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Prime Trilogy (bah... wish I had a few extras of that!) and HD Neptunia mk2 CEs are fairly valuable.
My sealed PS3 CEs. The one game at the left side that's cut off is Arcana Heart 3 CE. Like my other PS3 games, I have these separate as PAL CEs (left side) and normal North American CEs.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Demon's Souls Phantom Black Edition, Graces F CE, and Demon's Souls CE are all pretty pricy.
More sealed PS3 games, sealed Xbox 360 and Xbox games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Tales of Vesperia CE is pretty pricy.
Sealed PSP Ces, Vita CEs, lonely DS CE, 3DS ce and PS3 CE. Couple of imports here for the PSP games.
Rarities/Valuables/Notables: Birth by Sleep CE (new) is pretty valuable I think. Not sure about the rest...
And... that's it.
