As others have said already, nice SEGA collection dude.
Out of interest, what's your collecting ethic?
Thanks! I do love my Sega collection.
Ethic? Do you mean what is my focus or what games I'll add to the collection and what condition I want them in... stuff like that?
For my Sega collection I'll pick up any game that is in good shape and complete; except for sports games. I'm not really into them and there are sooo many. That being said I do have a few in the collection. I just didn't hunt them down specifically. Got them in lots.
For my AES collection; I'm going for any game I can afford that's complete and in good shape. It can be missing the manual baggie and have a few marks here and there but over all it has to look pretty good. The price I'd be willing to pay will depend on the game. But I'm pretty sure I wont ever buy an AES game that cost more than $200.
Same general rule goes for my NGPC collection. Except I doubt I'll buy any game that cost more than $100. My NGPC Mega Man was for sale at a local shop for $150 but I traded a lot of xbox original games for it instead of cash.
For my NES and SNES collection (about 40 games each right now) I'm just going for good condition carts. I'll get a boxed game if I stumble into something cheap. But otherwise I'll be happy with the carts. A buddy is printing up covers for his Nintendo games and mine so I'll be using Universal cases for them at some point.
Somewhat recently I decided to collect only for Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/ Japanese Mega Drive, Neo Geo AES, NGPC, TG-16, NES and SNES.
I'm getting rid of my CD/DVD games (xbox original, PS2, Sega CD, Sega Saturn). I also decided not to collect for the N64 which I had some of.
How about you NeoGeoNinja? What are you general habits/rules? Do you collect for any systems other than Neo Geo as well?
