Man, hope you have LOTS of disposable income. Saturn prices have gone through the roof in the last few years. Good luck!

I got into Saturn recently, and I'm going disc only for the most part just because the cases are worth so much. Though you seem to have inflate money, so that does not seem to be a problem for you :P

But I got Sonic Jam Disc for $30, when CIB seems to go for $80

I don't collect complete sets of any console (seems like a waste of money when so many games for any given system aren't worth it), but I do have a nice Saturn collection. About seven years ago I started collecting for it in earnest and I picked up the majority of rare titles before the prices went insane.

I got Panzer Dragoon Saga AND Dragon Force together for $225.
Burning Rangers was $90.
Shining Force III was $80.
Magic Knight Rayearth was $90.
House of the Dead was $115.

I don't remember what I paid for stuff like Shining Wisdom, Shining the Holy Ark, or Shinobi Legions, but I know it was all considerably less than they sell for these days. I still had a lot of games from their original retail life too, like NiGHTS, Guardian Heroes, and VF2.

Saturn Bomberman was my greatest accomplishment. I paid $90 for it last year, and that was a great price. Three weeks later, the case and manual got ruined in a flood. The disc still worked, but the manual was all waterlogged and hideous. A local shop got in a copy priced at $80! I took my crappy copy up there, figuring maybe I'd get $40 in trade just based on the rarity of the game, condition notwithstanding. They gave me $115 in trade. In essence, they PAID ME to take a better quality copy of the same game. My old copy still sits in their shelf, priced at $189.99.

I wish you luck in your endeavor. It's gonna cost you, but the Saturn is such a great, under-appreciated system.

Kind of curious how you went from a full N64 set to going for a full Saturn set, but based on pictures of your collection, I believe you will do it. Good luck.

All I've really collected for the past 5 years is n64 and sealed is just getting stupidly expensive. so I decided it would be fun to branch out and go for another fullset. NES,snes are far to expensive and have too many games the Saturn has a small library and lots of very fun games for it. I may not finish the whole set this year but I'm sure I can get close to 200 by the end of the year if I continue to buy in lots of 5 or more.
