Hello, signed up here awhile ago and almost forgot that I did, lol. Reminded me now that I've finally completed my boxed U.S. collection...I am missing nine manuals so I have a little work left and Sonic is not UPC'd, though it never will be unless I find someone who has no idea what they have. I'm not here to brag, well maybe a little but it has been a long journey from saving up on my paper route all summer, finally able to pick a Master System to this day like 25 years later. Feels good ! ...Try as I might, I just cannot post a picture and I tried I have for the last 45 minutes, so you can just imagine what 114 boxed U.S. + 11 PAL Master System games look like on a shelf, lol.  |

Congratulations. That is one of my goals also, except for a UPC Sonic the Hedgehog. How hard was James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing to get?

Buster Douglas was surprisingly one of the easier ones. I picked up the cart only at a local shop over the last summer for $25. Went on Ebay and a few days later there was a box and manual for $175. I offered the guy $125 and he took it. Should have tried lower but I was happy to get away with it for $150 complete since I never find SMS in the wild anymore and was getting pretty close to completion at the time. ...Anyone know how to post a picture ? I've used the picture ![]() brackets but get nothing, is there an easier way ? I mean, that seems ridiculously simple but will just not work for me. Thanks ! |

Buster Douglas was one of the few games I had to acquire on Ebay. Most of my collection are actually finds in the WILD, a rare feat these days. Buster Douglas KO ran me about $60 on ebay back in 2003-04. I have NEVER seen this game in the wild, a testament to how rare it is. Congrats on completing your collection! What are you going to do now?!? |

Thanks ! Well, I started selling off most of my collection so I'm going to continue to do that. I only plan on keeping my SMS, Genesis, Dreamcast (which is probably next to complete, I have like 10 games so far, so that will be a fun new journey) and PC Engine/CD. Huge collections are super cool to look at but I always end up sitting and staring at all my games for like 45 minutes, not knowing what to play because there are so many and end up doing something else because I just can't choose. I think I need a break though, holidays are coming a I like to be generous to others rather than just myself, lol. Plus I have a PS4 with a few games coming next week. The SMS is still my favorite though so I'd love to stick around and talk about it...and maybe get some of those manuals. Curses needing Golden Axe Warrior and Power Strike, lol.
