Carey85's Collection

[Carey85]

This is what I have after 7 years of hard work, with some 6 month gaps in there when life got in the way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feel free to laugh at it or otherwise critique it, as I'm sure it pales in comparison to many of your collections. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into amassing said collection and I'm fairly pleased with the result. There are a couple rarities in there that managed to hide from the camera, such as a Tooth Protectors and a Xonox-style Boing! Everything is NTSC with the exception of an Atari 32 in 1 and a PAL picture label copy of Miniature Golf. I think there are 550-ish 2600 carts there and I'm a few boxes and manuals short of a CIB 7800 set. My main goal at this point on the 2600 end is to get the remaining Sears labels that I need such as picture label Canyon Bomber, Gunslinger, Race, etc...

Excellent collection but why is your mint 2600 Spy Hunter NOT in plastic, but the crummy one is? lol

[Carey85]

Sega grip case carts will not fit in the 4x5 bags that I use. I've never bothered to come up with a solution.

[AtariLeaf]

Very nice indeed. Congrats

Ahh... Maybe try those small sandwich bags? They work perfect for Jaguar games anyway.

Very nice collection.

Huge amoont of 2600 stuff there!

Nice packing!

To the OP, could I ask the size and dimensions of the plastic tubs you use for your games? I've looked at a few of these in the stores but never knew which size to buy. Those fit rows of Atari games perfectly. Thanks

[Carey85]

The bulk of the games are in Sterilite 28 quart totes. I stopped using them after they redesigned them a couple years ago making them worthless for holding atari cartridges. I've since switched to Iris Buckle-Up Boxes from Office Max. They only hold 88 carts as opposed to the 96 that the old Sterilite containers hold, but they beat a blank.

[Carey85]

I forgot to mention these when I first started this thread, but I have a decent set of Atari mobiles that I'd like to complete eventually.

Nice collection. I really like those mobiles.

[Pyromaniac605]

awesome collection! love the mobiles especially the Tempest one (not sure I've ever seen that artwork before)

[Carey85]

Getting the remaining Atari mobiles that I still need is a priority. If anyone out there has any priced reasonably, please let me know. I promised myself that I wasn't going to display them until I had them all .

[jboypacman]

Awesome collection.

[Carey85]

Just took and added updated pics of my collection to reflect the recent growth spurt that it has seen. Still not in a position to display them on a shelf yet due to lack of space and lack of shelf. Someday...

[nofrills100]

Niiice!

Love that first tub of text labels - the colours really look great all bunched together.

Nice way to store them all too.

 

edit.. looks like you once had them stored alphabetically too... for organisation
