That is a pretty impressive collection. The amount of time and money spent in getting rare games or even collecting all games for a system. You think when his collection was small and started to get bigger he would start documenting all games, systems, and accessories.

I sort of thought it would be hard to sell. While it is an amazing collection, who has half a million to just spend on video games and consoles?

The Powerhouse museum in Sydney Aust could have bought it (for instance).
