Holy smokes I can't believe its been nearly 2 years since you finished your set. I'm still 13 away. Half the ones I'm missing I've never seen, and the other half I'm kicking myself for not buying when I did see them.

The ones in your sig are mighty tough, but I see several missing from there that I bet you're glad you already have (like F1 Pole Position and Amazin' Tater). I didn't realize you were 13 away... that's pretty amazing too
Any advice on how to do this. I am starting down this road a little too late I think. There are some games I'll never be able to get cib, me thinks.
It can be done but it's a pain in the ass even more so now and very expensive. Just look out for people that try to buy from you though. Lots of people tend to downplay stuff regardless of rarity "the market is down bs" or something even though demand is still high for all of these.

Ask Jeff if his cib gameboy collection is for sell!
lol.
It's a real battle, since I can buy so many rarer gba games on the cheap, too. Games that i know are going to be expensive. So, I probably shouldn't even be thinking about this now since its so far away. Just keep buying games. In fact I'm not sure how I would even be able to store 500+ games at this point.
This set was completed in 2011. Imagine trying to start from scratch in 2019. How many eBay searches, money and time spent, and all the sucking up you would need to do to get a complete GB collection?!
Well I just purchased a game today that I didn't have the money in my account for, lol. My job is one that I make money daily from my customers. So today I was watching a mint Darkwing Duck gameboy box with all the inserts (even the reg card) but no game. The guy had it listed at $100 and I was watching it to make a play on it maybe this friday. Well, out of the blue, the dude dropped the price to $80 and for the watchers of the game, he gave us $5 off, $75 + free shipping. So I get this message at 10 am in the morning, and I still need 1 job more to cover the amount I spent this weekend on games and a decision had to be made. So within 2 minutes of this listing and price drop, I bought this thing on blind faith that I would cover those bills. I just knew that at $75 that this box would be gone in 30 minutes.
Luckily I worked my ass off and covered all my bills, lol. I guess I'm a true collector now.
Just had to brag for a second that I've solidified deals for the last 2 boxes I need to complete my CIB Gameboy set. I'm SOOOOO stoked, it's not even funny. Even my wife is tired of hearing about it at this point
