Chips: 114 | | | Re: What else do you collect??? (pics encouraged!) I collect sports memorabilia too. Game used items, autographed Jerseys, mini helmets, footballs, baseballs, 8x10 pics, and sports bobbleheads. A few other random pieces too like old stadium seats, etc. Pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Will try and get some pics up here later if anyone is interested. |

Chips: 516 | | | Re: What else do you collect??? (pics encouraged!) I've bought over 200 classic arcade games in a 10 year span. I'm down to about 30 now, and after the first week in June I'll be down to 4. Sadly I don't have time for it anymore and I want to develop a Theater room and finish the basement with a nice poker section. Most locals are aware of the TV show I was on: YouTube - Basement 80's Arcade in New Hampshire
Some other pics of more games after the addition (after the show):  |

This room is EXACTLY why my wife thanks the stars everyday that we don't have basements in Southern California homes.
Install a kegerator and a toilet, and I would never want go upstairs! |

Personally I'd like to keep Tron, Tapper, Missile Command, Qbert, Robotron, Defender, Centipede and Moon Patrol as well but that would break my existing deal so they gotta go. I'm the type that will likely buy another lot of like 25 games after my basement is finished...the thrill of the hunt always outweighed the bounty for me. Same with chips.  |

Oooo and Burgertime! the egg always gave me trouble... |
