Hello All!

I'm a grown up NES kid who loves games, old and new. I've collected a lot over the years, but am currently working on a complete CIB NTSC NES set. I'm getting towards the end, but still missing a lot of heavy hitters, so hopefully I can find some here and make a few friends along the way. After that, it's either SNES or Game Boy.

I'll be sure to get my collection posted as soon as I sign up for image hosting. I really want to help out the_wizard_666 with his NES CIB FAQ, so look for me in that thread. If you can't stand to open your NIBs, I may be the man to buy and open them for you. The loss in value is not a sticking point for me.

Anyways, I love the community you guys have built. It's been a ton of fun doing my research here and I figured it's time to start contributing. See you around.

Nick

Welcome! Nice collection. Looks like you're going after box variants, too?

Thanks! I've seriously considered trashing my son's toy shelves so I can extend my game shelves down to the floor, but neither he nor my wife would approve that plan. That's why the bottom row is newer purchases and not in alphabetical order. Also, let's just pretend that my closets of shame (formerly my alcove of shame) do not exist.

Thanks! My primary goal is simply a full NTSC collection, but I'm a sucker for moderate and major variants so that's definitely a secondary goal.
