First off, hi ... second, you arent too old. Ill be 39 in August. Thirdly, who cares about the condition of a lot of games ? Some of my games on my wall are probably so dirty that they wouldnt even play without a long alcohol bath. Some of my disk games are scratched also but thats the nature of the beast. If they work, they work. Cant let the super minty freaks bug you. Those are the people that think they are going to retire off what they sell their stuff for 20 years down the road. Collect what/how you want and screw everything else!
