Haven't been at it for long. Maybe 3 months since I saw someone selling a SNES console on craigslist with a few games that brought me back some great memories from my childhood. Im picking up any locals that I can and trying to grow my collection of loose carts with labels in the best condition possible. 

My most valuable carts so far are:

Megaman Soccer
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy II
Super Mario All Stars
Super Mario Kart
The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past (x3)
Donkey Kong Country Trilogy
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2 : Yoshi's Island
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (no ultimate yet   )

I have probably about 95-100 games in all so far with 65%+ being junk/undesirables. Just picked up this 33 game lot on ebay full of useless titles for $69 just to build up the collection  

I will be using the cover art from thecoverproject.net to furnish some universal game cases while I grow everything. Currently have about 1/3 boxed up and ready to go on the shelf.

Just picked up another Ebay lot of some carts that appear to be good condition but are mostly undesirables. Already had killer instinct and the only carts I was interested in otherwise are Final Fight and Total Carnage. The ones listed below ran $40 USD w/free shipping. Priced out seperately on ebay I came up with a total individual sales price of $81 so I think thats considered a win.

CAL RIPKEN JR BASEBALL
FINAL FIGHT
KILLER INSTINCT
GEORGE FORMAN KO
NBA LIVE 96
KEN GRIFFEY JR WINNING RUN
SUPER BASES LOADED 2
NBA SHOWDOWN
MADDEN 96
MADDEN 98
TOTAL CARNAGE

Hello!

Are you going for a full set?

I would someday like to have all the carts as part of my collection but cannot say how long that will take or if its really feasible at all. A website i saw said all loose carts currently total a value of something like $17.5-18K and barring getting some pretty amazing deals that seems like a long time of collecting haha. I've got quite a bit already invested but cannot say the exact amount yet without going back and looking at all the different lots I have picked up. I would guess somewhere in the realm of $900-1100 so far which includes 3 consoles, 7 controllers and all those 95-100 games.

Now we have quest4nes and Quest4SNES? Oh well, good luck on your collection though!

Yea I saw his username and thought that was funny. Definitely not intentional, its just the first thing that came to mind when I was registering. I take it he must be a regular since you recognize the name so quickly lol

Change your name

Good luck on your set

Welcome! Keep your name, and while you're at it take his avatar to add to the confusion  

Haha dont worry - I will change up everything so it looks quite obvious I am not you. Besides, you are obviously an old timer here - no one will confuse me with someone of your stature!
 

Ya buddy!

Welcome, cool username it fits your agenda perfectly.

Welcome to NA!

Thats the way to do it. Buy in bulk early on! Welcome and good luck!

I'd consider one of the more premium cases as opposed to UGC, but they are pricier and harder to acquire. Worth it though imo.

I also run an SNES contest and a "beat all the SNES games" thread. You should check them out.

Hi, nice to meet you!

First off, good luck with the quest. I hope you have as much fun collecting as me.

Regarding full sets, here is my advice: You should decide if you want a full set or not, period. If you don't think you will ever go for this goal, IMO there is no point in bulking up your collection with filler / crap titles. Best to either go for it all, or just get the stuff that you actually want. Otherwise, you end up in the awkward position of having a collection that is not anywhere near complete, and also consisting with a lot of filler.

Either way, welcome to NA, and good luck!  

Good luck.

You should have been SNESQuest, and made a photoshopped version of the SeaQuest tv show logo as your avatar

Great name and welcome to the site.

100 games and no Turtles in Time? The Hell man, lol j/k. Welcome to Nintendoage.

Too bad you didn't wait until Feb 21 to join, to really add to the confusion.

Here is another vote for "borrowing" his avatar  

I like this 👍
