I've met a lot of collectors in the game development ranks. Which makes sense since a lot of developers get into games because they're passionate about them. Though I've found very few as serious about it as us. Also, I generally run into console (2600, Colecovision) collectors. Steve Meretzky was the only serious PC game collector I met. I know one with an incredible pinball game collection as well.

The most I've actually paid for a game -- I've bid higher, but not won the auction -- was ~$675 for an orange castle coversheet Akalabeth. (:chuckle: I needed the coversheet as those are what I'm missing from my other Akalabeth and my Ultima.) For me, the interesting thing is that the seller was one of the programmers for Arena and Daggerfall. It is cool to see that the people who develop the games are as serious collectors as us. -- Edward Franks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
