The world's largest collection of video games for sale

We have already told you about a man who in his life has assembled the world's largest collection of video games for various platforms. He became the owner of the official certificate of the Guinness Book of Records for his record. But now this man is putting up his gigantic collection of games for sale.

The Michael Tomasson collection contains 10,607 officially registered video games by the Guinness World Records. But since the time of careful accounting, the collector has found a few more boxes of games, and now his collection has exceeded the mark of 11 thousand copies. What is most surprising, more than 2,600 games are still packed in factory-made polyethylene film, that is, they have never been opened and outwardly look just perfect. More than 8,300 games in the collection include almost perfectly preserved original packaging, all instructions and brochures, that is, they are complete, which is very much appreciated among collectors.

The collection includes full sets of released games for 21 gaming platforms: 3DO, Action Max, AGP X-System, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Atari Jaguar CD, Atari Lynx, Buzztime, Captain Power, Game Advance Game e-Reader , Neo-Geo Pocket Color, Nintendo Virtual Boy, NUON, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Tapwave Zodiac, Tiger Game.Com, Turbo-Grafx-16 CD and Turbo-Grafx-16 Super CD. Game sets for dozens of other platforms are incomplete, but still close to this.

Michael tried to evaluate his treasure in December last year, and he went from 700,000 to 800,000 dollars for everything at once. In fact, the cost of this collection is much greater. For some sealed rare games in perfect condition on online auctions, you can bail out five-digit amounts in dollars, and collectors will literally fight for these lots.

At the moment, you can also participate in an auction organized by Michael on the site Gamegavel.com . Bidding will continue until June 15, and the bid increment is $ 250. At the time of this writing, the highest bid was $ 90,751. Let's hope that the new owner of the collection will take good care of the games, because they are of great value primarily as a historical reminder of the past of the gaming industry.
