Title: Some of my Gamecube collection
Post by: Joystick on January 14, 2007, 01:28:08 AM
Firstly, the opened games.
I also have a sealed gamecube collection, I will post them at the second page. Actually, most of the sealed collection I have an opened copy. But some of them are grabbed by my friend now, so I could only photo those I have now.

These are heavily used, and most of them are bought used. so have scratches, some of the manuals are worn, and I don't have the cover for paper mario and PSO, and these 2 covers are my first 2 downloads from cover project  ;D

These are heavily used, but are all in mint condition, discs have no scratches at all, and like new condition manuals.  Either bought as new or used but in mint condition

Now, the sealed GC collections

Player's choice and some games I don't know which category I should put them into

Just wonderful. I should take shots like these for my collection.

How do you manage to take pictures of the cases without lensflares? All pictures I try to take with my digital turn out too dark, blurry, or have lensflares  ???

Ok, The idea is, use a digital camera has high optical zoom, try to keep your DC as far way as possible when taking pictures, theoretically, the higher optical zoom, the better, but it will be more difficult to take the picture because you need to stand really far away from those games.

I used a 3x, and use flash to avoid the darkness and blurry also try to rotate your dc a little bit then you will not see the direct reflected highlight.

Because you rotated your DC a little bit. The cases will look a bit pyramid - shaped. I actually fixed some of the photos like the Player's Choice one. You could use image processing application like photoshop. But some of them are acceptable like the viewtiful joe one so I didn't bother fixing them.

Nice, the obvious question to me is, why do you have sealed games? Are you a collector?

Yes, I collect PS2 and GC sealed games ;D

So do you have doubles of every PS2 and GC game you own? And if you do, do you just buy doubles of the games you actually play? Or do you buy sealed games that you don't want to play and that are just for completing your collection?

Basically, most of the game I bought for playing are used..and generally you could wait until the games has a price drop (just right after the date the player's choice version released). So most of my sealed collection are under 19.99 bucks. And because I played the used or rented game, so I know what game is good and I need to buy for the sealed collection). I check the website and local store pretty regularly to find the right time to buy those sealed copies.

I did buy a few games from ebay. It is like you have all zelda for sale copy then you want to get the collector version....

I am not planning to sell them, at least for now.

Collecting games itself is really fun for me :D
