Some of my records and CDs are also worth 100 euros, or 55, 49, 39. But I'm also very attached to them, because they are memories of youth.

I can understand, the emotional value is always greater!
In your place, I would definitely store the plates for a few years, you never know if the collector's value in this regard perhaps still increases enormously.

Oh, very cool with the games. You would have to have there original shrink-wrapped games from back in the day. But no one knew that back then and no one could have guessed that they are worth so much today.


As a child, I also collected the first generation / edition of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Many of these cards I owned back then would have been worth 4 to 6 figures today in good condition.
Unfortunately, one day I hit puberty and decided to part with the whole collection, probably so as not to scare off my childhood sweetheart at the time. - Yes yes, love can be really expensive

I was, at that time I think, quite spoiled when it comes to consoles.
But that was probably also because I had an older brother who also had a passion for gaming.
We had a SNES, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy SP, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, and finally an Xbox.
But I think I share the best memories with the Gameboy SP, the N64 and the Gamecube.

Falcon wrote on 04/03/2023 at 16:02: Unfortunately I don't have any games from back in the day. Mostly I always sold the old consoles and then used them to buy the new one. Never really saw the point in leaving the games lying around somewhere when I wasn't using them anymore, but I never thought of it as adding value. Might not have been such a bad idea to just keep the old stuff.

Yep, the same is true for us. Is unfortunately everything today no longer available.
That annoys me a lot too, but not really because of collector's value, but because there really are a lot of games from back then that I'd really like to play again. In fact, I'm in the process of reacquiring the old inventory so I can play the old games again.
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to open my VGA's

The condition would have possibly deteriorated over the years anyway. Back then, the cards were put in such light foils at most. The cards were not sealed directly from the packs into a hard plastic sleeve as they are today. You also touched the cards more often and took them out. I think the high price can only be achieved if they were all graded 10 by the PSA. I think even freshly drawn cards are not always graded with a 10. It depends on how perfectly it was printed, if it has creases somewhere and so on. It has to be really perfect, then you get the 10.

Of course, I agree with you completely.
Nonetheless, you always think of something like that, because nowadays even cards that are not in perfect condition are offered relatively expensive.

I don't even remember, I think I just threw them in the trash when I was cleaning out

Actually bought another C64 a few years ago via Ebay, that's the one I grew up with. Of course with full equipment. Floppy, joystick and 2 boxes full of floppy disks.
Was a nice flashback to childhood.🙂

So the Gamecube was mega at the time I got it after a long time of nerves but I immediately fell in love when I saw it at Schlecker in Spieleland the game where it was this Mario where it is currently available again as a new edition where Mario has to clean up the island


Oh have spent so many hours playing this game those were the days (I bought the new edition and played through again)

I left my complete C64 equipment to my nephews back then. Somehow after quite some time most of the floppies stopped working and so on. That was sad.
In retrospect I regretted not keeping the set.

I know, that's why I found it on Ebay and bought it. Sure, in terms of graphics and loading times of the games, it's not comparable from today's point of view, but a lot of classics have been fun to play again. All the summer/winter games. The first point and click games, Maniac Mansion or Zak Mccracken, wonderfully crazy. Pirates or things like Bubble Bobble or Boulder Dash...

Oh, and it was so easy to get new games back then and it was completely free 😉
