Keep seeing stories about this gentleman, and there was a profile of him in the latest GameInformer.

http://www.nbcnews.com/te...uinness-record-2D11792439

Are he or the previous record holder, Richard Lecce, members of, or at least familiar with our site? Smiley

Not on the site, but community members. Also, there are people with more, but not sure what the standards are for Guinness.

My guess he is the highest total. Just the highest that will go public about it. Don't get me wrong still impressive.

Wow, I just had an epiphany.  I've just been collecting indiscriminately since I started almost two years, and have now amassed a collection of roughly 1000 games.  At the rate I'm going, I'll likely have 3-5 thousand in my collection by the time I'm the same age as this guy.  Every single one of my game shelves is overflowing to the point where I've had to resort to stacking games on the floor.  I still want to collect, but I think about half of my N64 collection alone is made up of useless sports titles.  I think it may be time for me to downsize a bit.  If nothing else, I can at least do away with the worthless sports games and the like.

But I digress.  Definitely a cool achievement to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for video game collecting.  Congrats to the new title holder.

You would think if you were gonna pose for this picture you would show off a bit and stage all your rare stuff haha.  The rarest thing I see is the boxed fm towns marty. But I suppose Maybe the award is showing off enough.

If Guinness includes variants he might be close to a complete NES set and that's it.

I saw a couple of headines popup on this but never read it before.  Funny part is this guy lives pretty close to me based on the article.  He's a bit younger than me but has a few more games.

I know this was mentioned elsewhere but I figured I could update and bump my old thread about this guy.

Anyone else feel like this is just a stunt, and the reserve price will never get met?

Or the reserve price gets met and the winning person never pays.

EDIT
Reserves are stupid. I don't get why people don't just start the auction at the minimum amount they are willing to accept instead of pretending they are letting it go for a good price.

This particular auction is even worse. STARTS AT ONE DOLLAR! With a crazy stupid high reserve and a minimum bid increment of 250$s
