Incredible collection! 

For the serious sealed collectors, what was a sealed SM64 selling for 10 years ago?  

I just saw this on Nintendolife and couldn't freaking believe it!  How many sealed first edition SM64 copies are out there?  Easily hundreds, if not over a thousand!  

I would have guessed that SM64 sealed in good condition (not graded) would be worth less than a grand.  

I just saw this on Nintendolife and thought it was fake.  A box variant of the most common NES game other than SMB??? What in hell! How many sealed Left Bros are there?  I know this one has a high rating, but jesus H! Sealed collecting has become completley out of control! 

I'm looking to get a gaming chair for my old man for christmas. I've never shopped for one before and don't own one myself, so I figured you guys might be able to help.  I'm looking to spend $200 at the most. 

Are there any features I should look for?  All of the ones on Amazon look very similar.  I noticed some of them have a foot rest, while others don't.  That seems like a useful feature that he might use from time to time.  

Thanks in advance for any replies I get! 

Some awesome items in this thread! 

To think, I can remember when DreamTR bought one years ago for $6,000, and everyone thought he was mentally insane!  Before that sale they were selling in the 2-3k range, and the grey NWC were selling for around $800.  If only I had money back then! lol

Hi!

So I'm not going to get into details over what happened. It doesn't actually matter. There was what I believed to be threat to the confidentiality of one of my sources, and my kneejerk reaction at the time was to shut it down. That didnt really last long, as I the primary purpose for continuing to build this collection is to share it. I ended up starting a twitter account ( http://www.twitter.com/artofnp ), and have been mostly been sharing there. Truth be told, I kinda forgot about this thread.

Anyway! I'm opening it back up. And the first thing I wanted to show you is actually... a lot. My primary intention for this collection this year was to travel it around to conventions to have live exhibitions, which I obviously cant do on account of COVID-19. SO I decided to put it all together in my home and do a quick video, so people didnt have to wait another year or more to see any of the work I've done.

Here you go!
 

 

DUDE!  The shoes from the Track and Field NP cover might be the most insane thing I have EVER seen in someones collection, and I have seen them all.  The fact that these shoes still even exist after 30+ years and you were able to track them down is unreal!  

Awesome collection!  I love the SF2 art too!

Welcome! Let's see those signs!

I don't have my signs displayed anymore, as my basement is only big enough for me to display my arcades and kiosks.  

Here's a link to my current basement.  I've added 2 more arcades since that video.

Here is a video of my collection in my old apartment, when it could all be displayed.  I've added a few signs since this video as well as a 4ft Super Mario statue.

I remember you. Your avatar was this but in color?

Wecome back!

Well shit, I wasn't totally forgotten! lol  My avatar was my Nintendo Service Center neon sign, which was that image.  Thanks man.  

Just heard about this site from Signcollectorguy, so I had to make an account and check it out.  Not sure if many of you guys remember me, cause I've been out of the loop  for a few years now, but I've been a sign/kiosk/memorabilia  collector for nearly 20 years.  Bought most of my collection between 2000-2008 when prices were more reasonable.  

Now that sign prices had skyrocketed, I moved from that to collecting arcade cabinets.  I currently have 12 arcades, and have pretty much maxed out my basement lol!
