LINK: Collecting Sealed Games
By Shaun Hatton - March 26th, 2008
A detail of one of my “prized” collectibles: A Japanese import Rodimus Prime.
Earlier this week I came across a post on the cgcc.ca forum by a new user who was promoting his own site: A forum for collectors of sealed games. At first, I scoffed at the idea that someone would buy a game and then not ever play it. But then I started to really think about it.
Was I no better? I have a whole lot of games that are still sealed because I bought them on clearance and then never got around to playing them (I’ll fix this soon, I swear!). Then I started thinking about how I used to collect Star Wars and Transformers toys like a maniac.
I initially had a post ready to go up here, but decided it was the kind of article better suited for 4 color rebellion. I tried to see things from both perspectives (ie: for collecting and against collecting), but ultimately I sided against collecting in general, which is an odd turn for me.
