I feel like I'm alone (or almost alone!). There are SOOO many game collectors out there but I've found so very few that collect sports games (and different than just simply amassing a bunch of old sports games over time). I've run across a serious baseball game collector and a couple hockey collectors. I, myself, collect hockey fairly obsessively, though I'm only at around 100 games or so (I even go so far as to collect each version/variant and the European and Japan releases). I haven't counted up a full set, but I believe it'd be around 250, but variants and regional releases can push things pretty far past that. I've been surprised at how much value there can be in older sports games and some particular releases are in the triple digits (try getting a boxed copy of Pro Sport Hockey for the NES for less than $100...). Right now my most cherished items are Elitserien '95 and '96 for the Sega Mega Drive (European Genesis), basically Swedish league re-skin's of NHL 95 and 96.
Ultimately I'd love to have the entire hockey game library for a thematic man cave of sorts, but thats for when I move out of an apartment and into a house.
Anyone else on here collect?
