I have my doubts.

Classic Video Games / Re: My SNES collection - June 2020

You've got some great titles there. Goof Troop is actually an amazing puzzle game.

Only about half my collection is CiB, I'm going the same route with my loose carts though and gradually getting them custom cases. I've got a whole stack in cases that are just waiting for me to getting around to printing off the art.

Thanks man! You probably saw one of my older posts here where I was indecisive about what route to continue taking with my collection. And like you said, I’ve decided that for the rest of the loose carts / other games I want to pick up, I will just get the custom cases for them. Im happy with the original boxes I have now, and it just hurts the wallet too much.

I will say though, that I plan on picking up Dr. Mario & Super Mario All Stars. For those, I want the original boxes. You can notmally find decent prices for those two games CIB.

Yeah, I pick up CiB when I can, but if it's going to break the bank to do so, I'd rather go for the loose cart instead and save the money for more games. I'm a long way off right now, but I'd like to have a complete NA SNES collection someday. It would be ridiculously expensive to get everything in original packaging.

Classic Video Games / Re: My "strange" copy of Mega Man X2

I have two copies of Final Fantasy II for SNES. One has the older style front plate on the shell, and the other has the newer style. Both are legit copies with legit labels. As far as I can tell, since Nintendo produced the cart shells and provided them to publishers, they had excess stock of the older style that may have been intermittently sent to publishers even after the newer style became the standard.

General / Re: Gaming Magazines Being Cheap
« on: May 26, 2020, 01:41:28 pm »
There's simply just not as big a market for magazines as there are for games. Old magazines really only appeal to collectors, where the games themselves appeal to both collectors and casual players. While specific issues may be rare and valuable for various reasons, for the most part, old magazines are going to be pretty cheap, especially if they're in anything less than mint condition.

Classic Video Games / Re: Let's talk about collecting retro CIB
« on: May 26, 2020, 01:23:28 pm »
I am in a bit of dilemma since I started trying to collect complete in box, or what I consider to be (Cartridge, box, & manual). I understand many don't consider this to be complete, and I understand that since it is missing extra inserts, etc. For the sake of not listing here what I already have CIB, I will narrow down my scenario to my SNES games examples.
 



IMO if the extra inserts do not include exclusive postcards with the title of the game or an exclusive poster or anything that isn't inside other games. Just a manual box and cardridge is complete in box than in my opinion.

Because the missing inserts/ plastic baggies where pretty much in every game pretty easy to replace not unique for that game only. if you are a cib collector and you won't buy a game for a deal/good price in pretty much excellent upwards condition especially the box because a common insert is missing wich a ton or pretty much all other games have your an iditiot. There are some of those I assure you. Some collectors don't have logic.

Sure some basic paperwork was either in early or late games from that console era, but again ridiculously easy to replace.

IMO extra inserts only apply towards the cib status if it's unique for that game specificly.

Still if your hoping for a bubble to burst, cart only will happen way sooner than cib. kinda slim pickings for the nice condition cib stuff.

I think he is referring to game-specific items. Many SNES games, particularly RPGs and Strategy games came with maps and data charts. Many of them came with posters as well.

As a SNES Collector myself, I have a mix of CIB, cart and box only, or loose cart games in my collection. I try to get CIB when possible, but if the price is outrageous... well, I'd rather spend that money on more games than cardboard.

I have been gradually getting clamshell cases like this for all my loose carts though, because it looks sharp on a shelf, and opening them reminds me of renting a game in the early 90s, and I love that hit of nostalgia. Image isn't mine, just an example I found on google.

 I collect to play, and my favorite system to collect for is the Super Nintendo.



You are a man of culture, I see.

I'm normally a microbrew guy myself, but this weekend I've just got some honey whiskey for spiking my tea.

Any good micros near you?

There's probably a good dozen or so in my city. Heck, there's a heritage brewpub not 200 metres down the road from my house. Normally good for growler fills, but they're closed during the current situation.
