Post your collecting goals for 2021

[Rudybegga | 48]

I'm needing around 110 nes carts, 160 manuals, 200 boxes.  I don't anticipate getting them all this year, but if I can get the more common stuff and cut those numbers in half, that will be a lofty but achievable goal.

Trying to double my loose NES collection in 2021, which is a bit shy of 300 right now. But that's a pretty lofty goal considering I don't have any rare ones with $100 or more so I'm going to try my best 

To encourage me to fill in all my missing carts, I bought a ton of reproduction dust sleeves for one of my shelving units and using real ones for the other (I'll swap them out as I get more authentic ones) and then spaced everything out alphabetically. so now instead of moving betweent shelves every time I add something and having no idea what I still need - its not super obvious what's missing and where to put stuff! Its already getting me to work on filling gaps with common carts

This is fantastic. Probably the most inventive way to collect that I've ever seen. It's going to be an amazing feeling when you place that final cart into the last empty spot.

Yeah, I started doing that for NES when I was about half way.  Every single game acquired from that point on has felt like important progress toward an attainable goal...
