Hey there everyone! Been a while since I made a post. So here we go! Game collector's I have talked to in my area or friends who want to collect have wondered kind like "how may licks does it take to get to a center of a tootsie pop?" well how many strategy guides does it take to have a collection. Well the answer is 2! But honestly I have over 1000 strategy guides. Some of the rare ones I have are:
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue - Hardcover Strategy Guide - Sells for over $75.00 online Star Wars: The Complete Saga Guide by Prima Games - Sells for over $100 on some sites including Amazon. Why you might ask? Well this guide is full of errors which make the guide more valuable!! I know shocking huh? Well as an avid baseball card collector (I own over a million baseball cards) error cards can be quite valuable, even if it's just a birthday error or whatever. But this guide is amazing because it has every bit of detail that exists in the game and clearly the errors do not. Both Lego Indiana Jones guides they catch a few high prices on the market. Chrono Trigger - SNES Official Nintendo Player's Guide catches a pretty good price online.
Strategy guides come in all different types and sizes. Prima Game Guides and BradyGames all started off as what companies called Unauthorized Game Guides!!! Why? Because the game companies didn't want to endorse the games during those times. But now Prima and BradyGames are the highest and best quality game guides you can get on the market.
The best type of game guides that are released are hard cover game guides such as the most recent Mortal Kombat Special Edition Guide or Call of Duty: Black Ops. The hardcover guides are the best guides. Why? They stay in better shape and are hard to destroy. The best place to find old guides for games you might have sitting in your collection like for your NES or SNES or even GENESIS games you can get them at book stores, Thrift Stores, Half Price Books if you have one or Gamers if you have one. Sadly Game Stop doesn't sell out of print game guides. Or the best online places are Amazon and EBay!!!
If you have any questions about Game Guides or curious if I have one you are looking for (Sorry not for sale unless I have doubles, but I only have a few of those) just hit me up. Also more to come on Game Guides and My complete list of Game Guides will hopefully come soon.
Hey everyone. My brother and I have collected a lot of games throughout the years. We have a huge collection of games spanning from Pong Systems to the most recent systems. We also have Japanese systems and lot of cool video game related items. Check out our blogs from time to time because we "score" a lot at our video game stores, flea markets, and of course eBay.
