Just broke my 100 cart cherry! :)

[zektor800]

After spending my day off playing games and alphabetizing my collection, I realized that Flip & Flop brought me up to 100 collected carts thus far! Awesome! The last time I had a library sized collection like this was with the SMS and the Vic-20...both of which I sadly sold off to cover debts years ago. It's really nice to have a solid collection, and especially nice that most of the games are actually fun! I'll have to get some pictures up eventually. They are all individually polypropelene wrapped now (Bags Unlimited) and all of the manuals I currently have are in Silver Age comic bag/board. Perhaps overboard, but heck, they amazingly lasted this long and I want to do everything I can to preserve them.

 

We already have a thread of people posting their computer setups, but how about pics of your game collection? I see a few faces that have purchased tons of carts over the years on the likes of ebay, so I can bet some folks here have some pretty darn sizable collections. Show your stuff!

Yeah I got quite a few too, I have to count them to see. I remember when I managed to get all the Activision carts, which I was quite proud of. lol

Yep, still working on the Activision titles here The only company in which I have almost every cart (missing one) is TG.

100 carts is like 5'. That must have hurt like hell.

[tjlazer]

Which ones are you missing for Activision?

In a twist of topic, what is the BEST deal you ever got on a rare 8-bit cartridge?

Cart slut.

 

Keep going and you could be a full blown cart whore.

(Can I say that here?)

That is very impressive, zektor. A lot of carts in a short time, and rarities like Flip and Flop and the K-Byte version of K-Razy Kritters too. Excellent!

My cart collection is in disarray right now. Lots of stuff is in boxes because we're making way for a little family expansion. However, here's a pic of a few carts that I have around.

 

[zektor800]

Nice!! THREE Flip & Flop boxes? Hot damn! Wonder if there are any more in existence! And Crystal Castles, boxed Spy Hunter, Pool 400....you are making me jealous!

 

Also, tjlazer, that Activision collection is super sweet. Looks as if your carts are not exhibiting much (if any) of the "Actiplaque" syndrome.

 

Yup, my collection is growing daily, much to the disliking of my wife. We actually had a pretty bad argrument last night due to my spending habits....when I bought this I tried to explain to her why this was a GOOD thing:

Haha! Anyway, I think I will be slowing down now. I'll give myself a $100 a month limit, which should be more than enough to continue on my collection at a more than moderate pace. My goal of course is to complete the DP Guide's retail release list, and I certainly am on to a good start.

Well, $100 a month is plenty if you keep finding BINs like that one!

 

It's good to have a spending limit in mind, I think, because it's easy for ebaying to get out of hand if you're not careful.
