This blog post is a follow up to one that I made
one year ago today. In that blog post (my very first blog post ever) I made reference to the fact that in one year I had accumulated approximately 800 games, a major feat that I was very proud of. Now, one year since then, I accumulated about 500 more games. A year ago, I was trying to get to 1,000 more games, but didn't quite make it. Since then, I was trying to get to 2,000 total games but again, I didn't quite make it. Right now, I'm sitting at 1,872 total games. Which is an increase of about 500 games. Not as good as the previous year, but I did get a lot more uncommon/rare stuff this year than last. Now, I haven't kept track of how many games I sold/traded, so if I hadn't sold or traded anything, I might have had 2,000 games by now.
A year ago, I had 347 duplicates, but I now have 457 duplicate games. Which means for every 5 games I bought, 1 was one I already had, which isn't bad considering the majority of my purchases are lots.
And for future reference (mostly for myself), I'm compiling a list of how many games I have for each system, the first number is the total number, the second number is the unique number.

And in case anyone is wondering, October 16th is no special date, it just happened to be the day I passed 500 total games, so I'm just using it as a base point in my personal collection timeline.
