I always feel a little sad when I see super impressive video game collections for sale on e-bay. Sure, everyone has good reasons for selling — they might not have the space anymore, they might need cash, they might simply just not care about their collections anymore.

So yeah, a fair amount of stuff. Maybe it’s just something I’m interested in as a fan of the series, but I think it’s a pretty cool collection. It’s currently looking for a starting bid of $500. Here’s hoping Anthony gets a decent price for it all.
