Hi everyone. Since I have begun posting again on the forum after such a long time away, I thought I should at least give an update of my G&W Collection (I collect other games also). detailed pics of RGF's CollectionLet me know what you think Damian

Real excellent quality games Damian. Congratulations. It's amazing the look of some boxes as new condition, specially for some difficult games to find. You should go on to complete the collection with such quality. Again congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.

Wow! I'm reminded of Devster's collection when I see a lot of your games! Most look absolutely pristine! Didn't I read something about you only handling them with gloves on? ;D Regardless of how you handle them, very impressive collection indeed. I like the Italian OP instructions, and wow, three boxes of pouches? Are they all filled with 20 pouches each? Nice shippers too, are they filled with respective games by any chance??? Even your TTs look C10ish!! Congrats on assembling quite the minty collection! And I second Pablo's suggestion of continuing towards completing the collection while maintaining the same level of mintyness! (yes, I know that's not a word, and for all I know, if it were a word, it would probably be spelled mintiness!) AC PS I think my Donkey Kong game is in better condition than yours, but, it's not an MS DK. ;D

WOW!
Nice collection you have got there. Have you got a display cabinet to display these games?
I can see why you need gloves to open the games especially with the mint ones. Because you know how the side flap is tight and sturdy, it is hard to pen it with your fingers alone, you need to use your fingernails to grab a better grip on them. But when you do that you leave indentations on the box (specifcally the flap) and thats wear the wear and tear sets in.
keep up the collection. All the very best.
Arthur
P.S. Just noticed that your location is Australia. Which state are you situated in?

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the praise. Yes, I am very happy with the G&Ws I have, although my collection now, is NOT what it used to be, as I had 58/60 G&Ws (1 loose) (Innis can certainly vouch for that). No, I don't have a display case Arthur but I used to have them all displayed up on my wall (i used to have recessed shelving in one of my walls, which made displaying the games really effective). Try using something like a letter opener (cautiously) to slightly pry open a tight end flap . I live in Melbourne . Thanks again everyone Best Regards, Damian P.S. I have added another link (my old pics) to the top posting

Are you going to the grand final tomorrow? Who are you supporting?
I'm off to the other "footy" that you guys don't like much (parramatta eels vs canterbury bulldogs) that is on tonight 75,000 people.
Your grand final i believe is a sellout? 105,000 capacity?
sorry for the off topic everyone.
Arthur

AC PS I think my Donkey Kong game is in better condition than yours, but, it's not an MS DK. ;D Hey AC . Thanks mate but I am sure I will never have the variety of games that Paul does/did. Yes, I used to wear gloves when I would handle my G&Ws but now they are sealed in plastic . Excellent memory !!! Yes, 3 Pouch Shippers & all with 20 pouches !!! No, my shippers aren't filled . Yes, I am extremely happy with my 4 TTs & they will stay in my collection FOREVER!!!. All are fully complete & Popeye would be the worst @ c9.5. Shouldn't have sold my c10 DK-52 Hi Damian! Long time no see. I have been wondering if you had sold all of your collection or not, good to see that you kept so many! I really like the slide show, excellent! ;D Do you have a new goal now or whats the plan? Anyway nice to see a familiar face here again! UC Hey Ulf . Good to hear from you mate. Yes, its been a loooong time.....probably too long !!! LOL! (those of you who wouldn't know me, I have been collecting for about 6 years) I think the slideshow is much better than my old pics, so now I just need to do a major photo update . Not sure if I will go for 60/60 but definitely trying to complete my MS Collection & get some of the G&Ws I shouldn't have sold. Also, I am still collecting V-Tech, Gakken, Bandai & Tomy games . Best Regards, Damian
