Yeah, you'll get to a point where lots are not worth it. Then you'll get to a point where you cant seem to find games you don't own yet. Just part of the joy of full set collecting. Compile those doubles and start selling or trading. Begin funding the games you don't have already. I always suggest beginning your collection with some of the best of the best. This way you don't get bored. Then buy lots to fill up your collection. But they will soon become not worth your time. I'd say 35-60% of the way is when this happens. At that point begin trading. This will hopefully get you another 5-10%. Then comes the waiting game. |

Yep, every single NES lot ever is going to have a copy of Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt in it, lol. |

When I was actively going after Atari 2600 lots I was always getting doubles, triples, quadruples, etc of the dirt common games. I've gotten rid of almost all the doubles but at one time I had plastic bin upon plastic bin full of combats, pacmans, space invaders, asteroids, etc. Its just the nature of collecting. These are the games that EVERYONE owned if they had a 2600. Just like SMB/DH for the NES or Sonic for the Genesis. Even rarer consoles have their common games like Keith Courage for the TG-16. I'm a big Tandy color computer collector and there hasn't been one lot I've bought that didn't have a copy of megabug with it. |

I think that game reproduces asexually. I only ever remember having one copy, the one from my childhood. Today I have about 6-7 copies of Combat, but I don't ever remember buying any others. I think it's dividing like an amoeba when I'm not looking. |
