Topic: Your most personally valuable items in your collection???

For most personally valuable I'd definitely be going back to the SNES/Gameboy because those are the games I have the most irrational nostalgia for. A few games come to mind: Super Mario Kart because I played it more than anything else, Donkey Kong Land for similar reasons. Pokemon Red would be way up there but I gave my copy to my sister when I got Yellow... which would also be up there

I'm tempted to say Unirally, mostly because of all the games I valued highly on the SNES it's the one that's least likely to ever be seen again

my old game boy and my copy of pokemon yellow i still play it from time to time

If we're talking whats likely the most expensive item we own, I've got a shrink wrapped copy of Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Got the first game too and never finished it, hence why the sequel is still unopened.

After re-reading the thread title and some comments I figured i'd mention my most sentimental game. I have a copy of Earthbound for the SNES that my grandma bought me when our video rental store was closing and liquidating its stock. I rented it so many times before that and to finally own it was really special for me. 20+ years later and my grandma has passed but I still own that cartridge and I still recall that memory and those feelings whenever I play Earthbound.

That would complete the operation rainfall collection for sure. I only realised it existed after I bought Xenoblade Chronicle Wii though, so unless I see a really good deal for it I won't pick it up.

@KingMike That's odd because the price for the PAL version of Xenoblade has really dropped recently.

@BongoBongo123 I think it benefits from being remastered on Switch and 3DS, my guess is a lot of people sold the Wii version.

@Losermagnet I could've owned the copy of EarthBound I rented from Blockbuster many times as a child. Probably with the box and maybe the guide included. (though I wouldn't be surprised if my parents would've tossed the box anyways)
But I had to pass that up, hoping to find a copy of "FF6", the RPG I hadn't yet played but was most looking forward to. I have eventually gotten multiple versions of FF6, and thankfully a loose EB cart before they got crazy expensive.

my og octopus game n watch

Haunting Ground for Playstation 2....paid about $100. The game is going for $400 CIB...no regrets.

@MortalKombat2007 It's strange how you get such regional variation with such games. There's someone on eBay UK drip-selling sealed copies of Haunting Ground, seem to go for c.£70.

@gcunit

I did check Price Charter, although I don't know how accurate the site is but PAL version seem to be less valuable than the NTSC version. On eBay, prices range from $100 to $200 for the PAL version in the States. I have the NTSC version which fetch for a couple hundred more.

Pirates of Dark Water on the Super Nintendo, the prices full in Box on Ebay are insane.

@Bongobongo123

It really isn't, bought the Game this Week and i am really really regreting it.

Lucky duck. I had preordered the CE and bought it but I was staying with my parents at the time while I saved up for an apartment and my mother asked to borrow money (which she never paid back) and since I was broke after paying my bills and gassing up my truck I had to take everything (I bought like 2 other games that day too) back. Never saw that CE or the standard game in person again. My mom had a gambling habit at the time so it was just a waste to give her money but I felt bad for being in their house at 21. I refuse to pay ebay prices so I will have to hope the series gets remastered or I make way more money.

I own Pingu: Sekai de Ichiban Genki na Penguin a Japanese Gameboy game... I don't even own a Gameboy.

It's probably the rarest thing I own and It's very hard to find.

cartridge only

I've received my copy of Andro Dunos 2 for 3ds. It's actually a really well made game and is fun to play. It might be the last physical 3ds game and only 6000 copies were made. In two, or three years I bet it'll be worth a lot.
