nonner242 #151 Posted March 15, 2009 neonesmaster nice collection, but this was for just Atari 2600 stuff. Altho it has been going everyway but loose lately.... If thats how its going to go we should not put it here in the "2600 collector Hall of Fame vote" and in another forum. Then I can put up my 3000-4000 games in individual pics up and kill the net. I wish I had the 2600 collections some of these guys have but since I dont have room anymore I go the way of Rares Protos & Homebrews for most of my collections anymore. I only have a few complete system collections like my Jag, and afew more near complete. But Im looking to even get down to the nitty gritty on my stuff later this year...need to unload before I move.

j_eits #152 Posted March 16, 2009 My vote is: Iwan! He's a nice guy even thought he is from Frankfurt, he has a very nice collection and I'm sure he would be very happy about winning the vote. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homerwannabee #154 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Voting is closed, and in a surprise nomination to the Hall of Fame, iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin gets in. When it comes to collecting you can think of two names that are synonymous with this guy. First is, Mr. Sealed. The man has made collecting sealed games a passion of his. He quite possibly could have the greatest sealed Atari 2600 game collection in all of the world. Well, at least the greatest photographed Atari 2600 sealed game collection in the world. Speaking of photographs, that is his second name, Mr. Photo. The guy has shown pictures of his collection every which way but loose. That's because loose is not in Iwan's vocabulary. It's sealed or nothing. But of all his great collecting accomplishments, perhaps the greatest thing Iwan is known for has nothing to do with his collection. Fact is, Iwan is probably the nicest man you might ever meet on these boards. I really can't think of a single soul who has any problems with this guy. The guy is that awesome. And so to Iwan congrats on being elected with the elite in the Atari 2600 Collector Hall of Fame. You definitely deserved it.

fdurso224 #160 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Hi Iwan, Congratulations on a job well done my german amigo. I rise my beer and say "Salute" in Italian. Now lets open a 24-pack of Coors, get some chicks, and all have a god-awful hangover in the morning. Now that's Italian/German style! Anthony....

Mirage #165 Posted March 20, 2009 There were several who also deserve this, but I'm VERY happy to see Iwan be elected! Dedication, perseverance, great attitude, and a childlike sense of wonder (you could call it a little insanity!) are all qualities making a member worthy of this title, and Iwan has them all CONGRATS! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aftermac #166 Posted March 20, 2009 Congrats Iwan! You might not have the "biggest" collection, but you deserve this. Your collection and personality has definitely made a big impression on a lot of people. Now about those Becks... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
