I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying all main series games -- Red through Alpha Sapphire -- new-in-box as collector's items. This will probably set me back a couple thousand dollars, but I think it's worth it. Any other collectors out there? Collector thread? Collector thread. Show us your stuff, how much your collection is worth, etc.

Non-video game Pokémon media welcome as well.

>Buying Old stuff in 2014
This isn't how it works. You buy the game it comes out and leave it closed, you don't buy the game when it's already overpriced.

In boxed versions of Red and Blue i've seen for as cheap as $50. So you could probably get away with getting all the main series games by playing your cards right with sales and ebay.

I would say your best bet is to not focus on sealed in the original shrink wrap and instead look for ones that have all the original stuff and boxes in nice condition. Mainly because its easy for someone to shrink wrap it themselves if they have all the stuff.

>wanting "sealed" things

this is kinda dumb anon unless they are incredibly valuable, just buy used mint ones which still will cost you quite a lot of money but at least you will have all the bits and pieces in mint condition, be able to play the games on your consoles.

i see one right now on ebay for $285.30 for buy it now. Gotta play it right and scope out the older ones.

newer ones should presumably not be hard. even stuff like XY i'd just wait for another sale somewhere. Speaking of which OP, if you're in the market, TRU was doing a bogo 40% off on games I think today and maybe this weekend.

i've got most of the games and was lucky enough that i remembered to save the boxes for everything when i was younger too so that's always been neat to me.

Almost everything it's re-sealed. You don't buy sealed thing unless you have a proof.

And if it's $3,000 now, then it could very easily be $15,000 in 20 years. It's a worthy investment, anon.

Not too big of a collector but got these at a yard sale for $1 each. Both only had about 30 min play time on them
