Anyone have any unusual sub-collections?

I think I remember having a copy of Nintendo Power with a guide in it. But I may be mistaken, that was like...20 years ago or better haha.

I have some game soundtracks, Keychains, candy tins, books and magazines, plushies and other little knick knacks.

This is like, a huge bump, buttt--

http://www.frankprovo.com/ZiffDavisMedia/PG/  Pocket Games issue #4 had a Crystalis GBC Mini guide - http://www.frankprovo.com/ZiffDavisMedia/PG/Crystalis/index.html

Other than the 2 CIB games and the oddball magazine article, there's nothing I've found except for

This weird calendar-esque thing...  not even sure what to search to go about buying that, LOL

Interesting topic tho, and since I wasn't around last year...

I will pick up almost anything game related that I come across in the wild if the price is right, but specifically I have a small collection of brochures for consoles and a decent collection of demo disks, mainly PS2 but a few others as well.  There's probably more, I'll have to think about it some.

I have a relatively sizeable collection of PlayStation 1/Dreamcast magazines from the 90's and early 2000s. It's quite funny reading the articles about PS2 rumours XD

I think I am the only one with a The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog VHS Tape.

Hockey games!
Baseball games!

Collecting sports video games are what I would consider... unusual. The other things I collect are not unusual... however, I consider my video games to be a "sub-collection" in that, it is third in my priority for things I collect.

Players Guides, specifically RPG guides since they are typically very useful.


Statues and Action Figures: This is very expensive to get into lol


Soundtracks: I LOVE VIDEO GAME MUSIC! At least for official soundtracks, this can be expensive as well.


Pokemon Plushes: This is mostly one my GF works on, but we have around 50


original video game artwork: Have bought some really sweet original artwork from devientart users and at Anime Conventions.

Same, I really like collecting brochures for games. They're really fun to go back to years after you got them. I picked up a brochure for the Playstation TV to add to the collection the other day. I've got some old game related newspaper articles as well, though nothing particularly interesting.

my wife and i started collecting video games magazines 23 years ago. we got a ton of them. she takes more care of the old cds that mostly came with them. from Nintento mag to some obscure sega mags and the old PSmagazine. lots of demos for the ps1 came on those.
