>broken and taped ps1 jewel cases
ok go to a thrift store or used cd store
buy decent jewel cases and swap everything out. thank me later.

loose carts = tupperware with a lid under the bed or in a cabinet

>>8750302
instead of needing to make all those trips just order jewel cases online, you can buy the double/quad disc ones too.
Also cute little bookcase whatever thats called. Would love one of those for the few anime figures i own. What exactly is that called so i know what to search for?

>>8750302

Gamecube stuff from back in the day.

>>8749664
Cool shelf bro. I used to have a few of them in my collection but traded them for some larger and classier pine ikea shelfsoul. What other shelves do you have in your collection?

>>8750302
>Faggotmon collection
Revolting, pickachu never loved you.

Thanks. WCW games are easier to obtain then WWE games at least for gen 5. Gen 4 it’s the opposite

>>8750731

even in the 90s i never saw CiB shit like this
and if i did it was insanely rare.

>>8750336

>>8750653
what am i some kind of faggot?
i wouldn't use pikachu on any playthrough/team unless i decided to handicap myself on a nuzlocke run

>pika doesn't love me hurrrrr
don't care.
pokemon exist to serve and fulfill their duty/job.
we transfer the rare & valuable to the bank\home and move on.
all save files across all generations&titles are standing by at the post-game awaiting orders.

still mad at myself for selling the CiB shit honestly

>>8750930
Sup chris-chan

>>8750935
i'll take better photos soon
its been a rough year anon

>>8749664

i think you should give those two madden cartridges a shelf of their own
i went into a shop the other day and they had an old PS2 baseball game and actually put it in a special case like someone would even want the thing

>>8750930
You had me until Star Wars.

>>8750930
Why do you have pictures of chicks at your shrine? Is the one on the table your girl if so she's hot.

>>8751214

Haha. You pointed at your own word. Fucking retard.

>>8750731

Reminds me of someone I know, actually all his are fake though, afraid to ask how much he paid of if he's in on it.

>>8755926
nice fleshlights nigga

>>8755431
AH YES! JRPG in japanese, my favorite

anon i would advise you to check some unboxings for CiB gen 1/2 pokemon shit
the japanese boxes were superior (ie crystal)

the only other japanese titles i have are exclusives or shit i got for free

>>8753320

>>8756293
>let me borry silent hill 3 anon
>i should never have sold honestly.
funny you say that as i was thinking about selling them since now they are going for like 3 times what i paid for them and i feel like i could put that money in something else i would use more than those as the silent hill i replay the most is the first one.

>>8749664
Game shelf

>>8756692
impressive,there doesnt seem to be much variety console wise and holy shit is that 5 super mario 3.

>>8756692
You know.........if i had the actual game boxes along with my games, i could open a rent center to people to play and pay for like 1hour a game like an old internet cafe, or even rent them, but i know people will be s/0/yfilled scummy enough to rob me of my games.

>>8753230
How did you breakup with a dead chick?

>>8756692
Hey, homo, stop hoarding multiple copies of the same game. Sell them or trade them

>>8749664
Shelves

>>8756902
>>8757036
Majority are from my grandparents video rental store. Gave me and my brothers the games before closing shop. Quite a few were stolen of course, and there are a few empty boxes there.

>>8757646
No u

>>8750302
For what it's worth, I like the little Furret figure on the bottom

>>8749664
I probably only own 80 or so retro games

Lot of them are cheaper nes games

Mega Drive stash

>>8759247
had a few other vintage tomy figures
but my nieces and nephews always want them

>>8758331
was the train sim worth it anon?
im in the same boat as you,
i have about 35 loose n64 carts
still havent found a decent way to store/display

>>8757417
referring to older photos/shitposts anon

>>8756670
never sell
the types of people who would pay 200$ are faggots and dont deserve a copy

>>8750731
>open picture
>oh he's just got the usual hand full of good rpgs
>oh shit I didn't realize the photo was that big and he had three levels of games
>all the best games on the system that I also have

Fuck yeah. I never bothered with the plastic covers but maybe I should have. I use a flash cart now and all my childhood games are in tupperware in my closet.

>>8759520
>2 Hard cops

>>8757961
>Majority are from my grandparents video rental store. Gave me and my brothers the games before closing shop. Quite a few were stolen of course, and there are a few empty boxes there.

Wow, close to home then, in that case

Be a good nephew and FUCKING preserve that shit somehow, only for the memory of your old folks, i regret giving away my original game boy pocket because my uncle got murdered a years after i gave it away as a gift to some schmuck i never saw again, take it form me, never forgive myself for such stupidity, one of my biggest regrets. ever.

>>8759603
well why not?

>>8759602
Why would you do that?

>>8756692
Other than the wahooo cringe, this is pretty nice anon.

>>8750302
>>8750930
That looks very nice

>>8749664
sure
some notes:
>super Famicom games are super Mario world, all stars, kart, dkc 1-3, kirby super star, and pilotwings (not pictured: super metroid)
>Saturn games were all got in a lot with the console (minus daytona and sega rally)
>all my other GameCube games were sold minus Kirby air ride, i love that game too much to let it go
>i really should get a proper shelf, taking games out and putting them back here is a pain

lookin good
i will never understand how you anon can afford hundreds/thousands of dollars worth of items like this

you guys clearly have jobs and arent neet like me

I had a realization that collecting carts is cringe when I have a flashcart, so I sold them all. Now I just want CIB games for whatever console I don't have a flashcart for, which is gameboy and n64. Because collecting non-cib is cringe. Variant gameboys is another idea of what to collect.

My shelfs aren't nearly as organized as Id like them to be but this is what I got so far. My only real interest is in Genesis.

>>8753021
>you will buy ze madden
>you will be 'appy

>>8763060
All my GameCube games were just bought back in the day over the course of the system's life cycle. Could NOT afford that shit at current prices.

>>8763060
im not made out of money anonkun
i'm assuming this is true for most of the people in this thread, the guy with the neogeo carts didn't just randomly decide to buy those all in one day.
collecting takes time,
enjoy the hunt
be patient bb

>>8763193
not only does it take time, its also easier for people who dont invest in stupid shit like monthly subscriptions and try to juggle several media hobbies at once
pick what youre most into, and purely go for that, instantly makes it easier.
Also take time to hunt proper bargains and generally fair prices, dont waste time haggling people, its really not difficult at all if youre patient and pick up techniques.

Fuck it, I'll play. 1/5

2/5

>>8763240
>toysrus gold n64 controller bundle
will never understand why nintendo did this, unnecessary as fuck to make a different bundle where its just half a full gold console bundle

3/5. Need to straighten this shit out better

>>8763248
Bought it as a box w manuals... Missing the gold controller unfortunately.

>>8750731
>plastic protection for repro boxes

4/5. Kinda want to get a second shelf like the first one I posted instead of this stupid ass setup.

5/5. Most of the SNES/N64 boxes I got here in a deal for 30 bucks. Dude was asking me why so many people were interested in buying them, kek.

>>8763250
how much did you pay for it?
I got a complete jap gold bundle, with a boxed gold controller and its documentation for $320 a few years back.

>>8763263
It came with all the games in boxes w manuals in the last pic for $30 as well as the GameCube, Wii, and SNES boxes. I made out like a fucking bandit on that deal. EVERYTHING had manuals/inserts.... I'm sure the guy pissed himself when he looked at pricecharting later.

>>8763272
holy fucknuts man. Well glad it went to a non-coomlector then.

>>8763274
I need to get that gold controller so I can be coomplete... Luckily, it's not too rare.

>>8763287
i was surprised to see how not very rare it was
guess when your gold controller is also the worst controller ever its really nothing to write home about

Does anyone have an PCB shelf? I want to see some kino boards or arcade kits.

>>8763304
rad
>tfw the only original arcade anything id want to own is sonic the fighters but thatll probably never happen

>>8763304
Do you have a cabinet that you can swap these in and out of, or are they just display?

>>8763310
They’re AES carts. They plug into a console like any other cart and hook up to a consumer TV. MVS carts are the ones that go in cabs although I think many people today myself included have a cmvs or super gun set up to play on a normal TV

>>8763304
i keep my arcade shit in shoeboxes
not the most visually pleasing solution
but im not big on dust & my setup is low on the list in rotation until i get a full cab

>>8763110
This post is zoom cringe from an underage who wasnt around when people just collected/bought loose carts because it was cheap and they didnt give a fuck, they just wanted to play. Better this stuff goes to someone instead of a landfill.

>>8764528
>all that projection
Yeah, I will admit I got into the game late, my life was so busy then the pandemic hit, and I wondered into a local retro game shop after having given video games up at 19. Anyways, I went through a rediscovery phase of videogames where I just went nuts buying games where ever I found them as if they'd disappear. A few deals, mostly on hardware, never on games alone. Anyways I have a flashcart now, so I've decided I just want complete in box games. I like box art, label art, and sometimes the manuals have nice art. I don't understand collecting gamecube games or basically anything past SNES/game boy era. As Manual art and packaging became GARBAGE. I'm big brain now if I want a game I scour ebay to get that game in the best condition possible.
