Super impressed with the PS1 complete collection. Never thought getting a complete collection for PS1 was possible until I saw a few people that had one.
Just testing the PS1 and SNES collection lists (for now)on this site. But I do have a a full 100% PS1 collection. Also have all the GH versions( I think). Was trying to keep up with the Game Rave guy (he's unbelievable!). But he lost me after while tryng to find variations (I've got several). I also have a really really nice collection of PS1 Strategy guides. That was another sitation where I didn't know what I was looking for.
I don't really consider myself a 'gamer' or 'hacker' . But I do know enough to get myself in trouble and will admit that I don't understand some of the jargin or programming parts of this stuff.
I'm definitely hoping someone finds mistakes or can teach me something. That's why I'm here!
I'm double checking my Posters. Pretty sure I've got everything right down to the baggies except for Head-On Soccer (I think there is a Poster and Reg. card that I don't have). At the moment technicaly I don't have a 3 Ninjas Poster in my CIB set but I'm assuming it's in my Factory sealed copy
Another one I'm trying to confirm is Cliffhanger. Same situation as 3 Ninjas (No poster in my CIB but I have a sealed copy)
I've been referred to a Poster list and I don't see Cliffhanger.
Just thought of another game I might not have everything for... Final Fight Guy - I have it CIB (great shape). What else is included? I saw someone say they had one that included a Reg. Card and a warning paper (didn't see a pic)
I don't think a few of the Sony games had posters: Cliffhanger, No Escape, Skyblazer?

Ahhhhh yes, That's why I all this time I assumed 3 Ninjas din't have one either. Thanks
I did make a few assumptions along the way. Would take someone with a really keen eye to find an incorrect Reg. Card etc. when it didn't come with one. As an I think I stuck a Reg. Card in every Sony game. Might be and incorrect LJN/Acclaim? Reg. Card somewhere.
Getting up to speed with you guys might take a while but I definitely want to help figure this all out. I'm thinking of posting my spreadsheet as one of more image files to try and speed things up to see what I have. Need to experiment with this text editor a little more
Welcome to the site shortstop! You have a great set and it looks like you have a lot of knowledge about the SNES. It's nice to have another 100% CIB collector on board. that list that you posted in my poster thread looks really solid. Would you happen to have that list without your personal condition ratings?
Just curious, why did you choose not to include MBR/SR, or ISS, ISSD, Super Copa, or the comp carts?

I just threw that up as a place to start.. I can modify it no problem just let me know. By all means pick it apart and/or use it as a template (pay it forward).
Very early on I commited myself to US ONLY games, released CIB. So I stuck to my 'game plan'. ISS, ISSD, Super Copa, Pele & RHI Roller Hocky 95 were still rumors by the time I was done.
What an incredible introduction. Welcome aboard shortstop! I aspire to be a SNES collector myself. Right now all I can manage is cart only and I'm moving at a snail's pace. Probably won't be finished for several years. Your collection is a huge inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Outstanding post! Welcome to NA. You've found the right place to glean knowledge off some of the most advanced SNES collectors around. We're all much better off as a community with golden-era collectors, such as yourself, posting.
This was by far my biggest purchase. Was tough just finding a SNES version. Then to find it in a box... ?! When I saw it also had all the paperwork etc. I couldn't click the sellers BIN button fast enough
My NES version isn't this complete!
Debateable if this is considered a requirement for a CIB collection. But it is what it is.
The seller didn't show or note the Conversion Kit and threw it in for free.
Note: I just realized the cart was missing from the pics. Yes, I have it. Also an extra one.
Crazy collection man. I have to ask here. Did you get everything off of eBay, or did you ever find anything at thrifts/garage sales/pawns/rental shops/word of mouth/classifieds/Craigslist? Can you remember any of your best non-eBay finds? Best eBay finds? Just curious. I love reading amazing find/deal stories. Motivates me for when I go game hunting.

Almost all of it from eBay. At the time it was by far the easiest way to shop for what I was looking for.
Even though it was by far my most expensive purchase one of most memorable 'finds' was gettting a 100% complete SNES Miracle Piano. I saw several without the box but there was always a problem with the connector cable. The keyboard is the same as the NES version but not the connector cable. A seller showed the pic with everything including all the warranty etc. paperwork. I couldn't click the $250 BIN fast enough.
Another was finding a Buckaroo$ poster I didn't even know existed amongst a bunch of junky paperwork/posters I bought off a seller getting rid of his old Video Store.
Bought a highly suspect sealed Aerofighters box that even the seller had no idea what was inside. The wrapper itself had huge holes. when I opened it it was complete but the manual was missing the cover, the cart back was riped buuuuut it also came with the poster. Definitely wasn't expecting that.
Got my Chavez II game in a huge lot that averaged out to be really cheap. I think I saw one really beat up copy show up afterwards.
Getting my last game 3 Ninjas Kick Back CIB was very exciting. I got it appx. 3 weeks after buying a sealed copy for a tidy sum. I just redently discovered I didn't get the Poster that was originally included. Very tough to find. Finding the game CIB is a real challenge.
Getting a pretty nice copy of a Lufia II strategy guide was good even though it wasn't cheap.
Bought a sealed Fire Dogs and within a couple hrs. I had a couple guys wanting me to sell it. I hadn't even gotten the Invoice from the seller yet.
I bought some bidding software early on and it helped me bid on appx. 150 auctions in about 2 hrs. I won appx. 100 of them
I've had a ton of horror stories involving eBay also. Most of them involving irrisponsible shipping by sellers. I think I got burned only once for about $25.

Nice! I wish I had all this info back when I started collecting SNES
Looks like one of the only posters and registration cards you are missing is for Fatal Fury Special?
Just curious, why did you choose not to include MBR/SR, or ISS, ISSD, Super Copa, or the comp carts?

It all started with the list of games from Digital Press. Just been waiting all this time for a place like this to confirm anything.
I remember Fatal Fury Special being one I guessed on, especially the Reg. card.
What do they look like?

Niiiiiice!!! Never saw one of those with a Poster and Reg. card when I was collecting. Most people didn't know or care to show the paperwork.
While checking I realized I have a sealed copy, WHEW!.
Still need to put those 2 items on my want list so I can scan them for everyone to see later on.
If anyone knows the Part numbers PM me or post them here so I can add them to my spreadsheet.
Would love to have SCANNED files of front and back of each
Still need to track down what's inside Head-On Soccer
Found my other Super Solitare game. Here's the pic showing both versions.
My NES version isn't this complete!
