He foresaw how NES collecting would blow up and from what I understand has owned almost all of the known Gold Nintendo World Championship carts at one point. Has MANY 100% complete collections and I believe owns an arcade. --- End quote --- You are spot on about DreamTR. His name is Jason and he does own an arcade in TN as well as owned close to half of the Gold NWCs and probably a dozen or so of the grays as well. Not to mention he is one of the best known sources of prototypes anywhere. He was the person I was going to mention. |

If you want to give his collection a good look http://vgcollect.com/theflea --- End quote --- Is this "TheFlea" the same as SpaceFlea I've seen on other forums? |

Dude has to be in the top 1% of all collectors out there. Who's that dude that has been on the All Gen Gamers Podcast several times? Gamester81 did a walkthrough of this dude's collection. He has several full sets including NES, SNES, and Genesis. I can't remember his name though. *edit: Dude's name is John Hancock. Check out Gamester81's video with him on YouTube. --- End quote --- He's done a few different "rare games" videos with John Hancock. The guy seems to be a really likable guy, too, that would be a cool guy to hang out with. I've always wondered if that's really his name or not, though. --- End quote --- John seems like an awesome guy for sure and his sega collections are amazing. I bought his dvds a couple years back and they were excellent. Watching them always helps me refocus my collection >:] |

I've met a lot of the people that you guys have mentioned and I can say this - they ALL have amazing collections. I have a few that I respect more than others, but don't have specific links to many of them. While I totally get having a complete set - I've just come to the realization that I enjoy collections that have a lot of really, really nice items over volume. I know a gentleman with somewhere between 8K and 12K games at any given moment and I just really don't see myself going that far. Who knows, maybe I'll win $200 million and go nuts, but for me it's more about quality. |
