So funny story:

Background:
Canada has thanksgiving in October.
USA has Thanksgiving in November.
My last phone update lost my contacts
I have a good friend (Doug) in the US I visit every year in Seattle
I play Magic and travel to big events

Story:
So a friend (Ian) told me he was heading down to Seattle for US Thanksgiving again (we went together last year) about a month ago. I was going to be moving but thought I’d try to go anyways.
A week later, my Magic buddies mentioned an upcoming Magic event in Seattle. I thought that could be great I’ll be able to do both. I just need to contact Doug and see about staying there.
As the event got close, I had been unable to get hold of Doug, but finally he called me. Let’s say it was Tuesday. While we were chatting I asked if I could hang with him for part of Thanksgiving, and as usual he was ecstatic. Being a gamer and having space to spare I also asked if the rest of my Magic crew (5 including me) could crash. He talked to his wife and confirmed that they could spare the space, given that Thanksgiving was Thursday and the Magic event was Friday. So we were set.
Then, Friday morning Doug calls me to confirm everything. I said that’s great we’ll see you in 8 hours…….Doug stopped for a moment………………….it seems that I didn’t realize that Thanksgiving was the following week.

OMG, so jealous.

That’s super awesome Ben. An awesome gift for an awesome guy.

They were REALLY excited about the VB! It’s a cute story, but as you said, not particularly funny. Very educational, I can’t wait to sell my VB for that price.

Sad, I only need the stand.

The price it is listed at is less than what I paid for mine.

This game should really be number 1 on the rarity list for Virtual Boy games.

Should I be concerned that the bottom of the box has some wear and tape? Or is so rare that I should find a way to get it?

Another piece of awesomeness….

Quite the collection. Anyone want to finish at the start?

Oh man… I hope you’re planning to sell copies of carts and boxes of your game. If so, let me be one of the first orders! 🙂

I would be so down too.

That is a lot of cards, though… are they CCG, or just “baseball” cards, or a mixture?

There’s at most a couple hundred of the CGG. RunnerPack any books you’d want?

Twenty to thirty THOUSAND trading cards?!

That is definitely the most amazing thing to me.

Yep, 4 1/2 medium sized roughneck tubs full. The rest of the collection is 1 1/2.

This one is a little easier on the pocket book.

Found a few goodies today.

Plus right now, almost every US game (not Jack Bros) has a sealed version up. All more than I think should be paid but some are still okay.

Not a real seal, but a real NFS box all the same

The blue definitely looks the best to me. More than just my blue-bias, it looks a lot more clear, shapes stand out more.

Wario Land is one that strikes me as a red feel, I’d love to see a color spread of it.

Also, I’m very curious about the small hint of the case next to it. I see some Wii and Sega(?) stuff. Any chance of posting an overview of everything so I can be even more jealous?

Everything else is store inventory. As requested here are the pics. Take note of the display names. As mentioned before I’m getting custom one done which includes our beloved VB.

But why is Insmouse on the ‘floor’? Substitute Mario’s Tennis or something for it, stat!

Good Eye! There is a very good reason for Insmouse on the floor.

All the other boxes are “new” most NM. Insmouse however (and Waterworld) have used boxes and aren’t sturdy enough to survive the shelf holders. I ran out of plastic boxes to hold them. Once I have protective boxes or better condition boxes, they will be put in their rightful place.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It`s a case I scored from Zellers. Zellers has been taken over by Target and are clearing out EVERYTHING so I scored five cases for my store. Really sharpens the place up, but I couldn`t help myself and commandeered one for my VB collection.

I`ll post a pic of the entire case when I get the name plate installed on the top.

Finally have a nice display for my VB:

I`m also getting a custom made sign for the top of the display.
