Finally Finished My CIB Gameboy Color Collection
I have finally come to the end of a long journey. I finished my CIB Gameboy Color collection. I have one of every game CIB. I am not totally done yet though. I still want to collect about 20 or so box variants (I know, I have a sickness).
I started hard core after this set around November of 2013 (right after I finished my CIB Origional Gameboy set: http://vintage.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=112627). At that time I had around 100 or so games, with 446 in the GBC collection I had 336 to go. It took me until yesterday to finish (about 3-1/2 years).
I could not have done it with out the help of many NA members. I thank you all! Two member helped a ton. First, Jonebone gave me a kick in the ass to get this collection done. He found a second CIB ISS 99. At that point I though there was only one! With new hope I got serious (had about 25 games to go at that point). Second, is a newish member ShadowRunner. He is all the way in Uruguay and a great member. We started talking about his CIB ISS 99 months ago, and last week we made a deal for both ISS 99 and Space Marauder (the last 2 games I needed). He is a class act and I suggest if you need a game he has for sale, do not be afraid to make a deal with him!
Now on to the pics:

Congrats Man!!! I love seeing the Gameboy Color getting some love. After the 20 box variants... will the Gameboy Advance be in your sights?
GBA is underway. I have about 500 of the 1,026 (counting movies). So I guess in 4 years or so I will be posting that CIB collection, LOL!

Great accomplishment! Im lucky to have a sealed wendy and rhino rhumble even though im not heavily into gbc. Could you suggest some good games that you think are uncommon but worth having?
My 4 favorite games for the GBC are:
Shantae
Wendy
Blaster Master
Space Marauder (just got it yesterday and played it for like 4 hours last night).
