but keep in mind some of those "ratings" from rarityguide are very loose. Legend of zelda a link to the past is considered at 62%? Maybe I am off base but that certainly feels a bit high. So I don't know for sure what comprises the numbers they have set. Another example is super mario world is at 72% which makes sense if they are referring to the boxed non players choice version (since most copies were either packed in, or came later as a players choice version) but the game itself is hardly near that number.

Also values don't always reflect rarity.

Prime example is Super Smash Bros. It still commands a higher than average price, but it is not really rare in any way, because it sold millions of copies; it is just very popular and sought after

Whereas super bowling on the 64 you can find pretty cheap on ebay because it isn't very sought after, but is one of the harder games to come by imo.

[BadChad]

Ive been anxiously waiting to post up pictures but Ive commited myself to waiting untill everything has been cased and covered. Also need to build a second bookshelf as the one I have now is starting to explode since I got my most recent box of UGC's. Im getting close tho.

Hmmm. If you always end up buying more loose or unboxed games before you finish boxing everything in UGCs we will never see your collection.
