(2) Too many games in the collection. After selling off a BK, I will be down to 19 pins and need to be at 18. Targeting a Borg pin - help decide which one - IM, Tron, MET or TWD. Number of games in my collection by designer - Borg (4), Lawlor(3), S Ritchie (3), Johnson (2), and one each (M Ritchie, Gomez, Eddie, Trudeau, Nordman, Oursler, Jim Patla). Lawlor, Ritchie and Johnson have long been my favorite designers. enjoying being able to add Borg to their company, but having more Borg’s than anyone else, feels unbalanced. So I was eating spaghetti at lunch today and pondering which Borg pin to sell. Initially leaning towards TWD - barely three weeks old and a blast to play, but already feel a bond to the other three.

Tron is fun to play and hard to find, so it is coming off the table.
MET is my favorite of the four - really the complete package, so it is coming off the table.

In my mind that leaves IM or TWD and both are fantastic games. So maybe less interested in which is better now, as much as which one best compliments Tron + MET?

Quoted from T7:

FYI - Your poll will be skewed, now that you've taken Tron and Met out.
Is it possible to change the poll to only IM and TWD?

all entries on poll stay. Poll measures what I should do, comments are helpful and funny and what I finally do is another matter.

Quoted from modfather:

Easy , sell your BSD or JD. Forget about the designers, keep the best games. Sell them both and pick up a GB.

Will never sell BSD. I go back and forth with JD, but it is probably too nice to sell I am intrigued by GB pro,, but wouldn't sell JD to fund it.

Keep the votes and comments coming. Who's the lone MET hater I agree that a selection based on designer is flawed. But once you see it, it's hard to unsee. Maybe my OCD, passive / aggressive nature is stronger than my willpower to ignore it.

Results so far - only a few votes for MET, TWD and Tron are virtually tied and IM has more votes than the other three combined. However, IM was also the pin mentioned most frequently, not to sell. I probably play more IM than the other three, but could give it up and not feel too big a loss. Beginning to see letters form on the ouija board, but it's murky. Too early to tell so stay tuned... keep calm and keep voting.

Quoted from bam10:

Jeff, I thought you had already decided to let iron man go.

That was iron man #3. , and it is gone. This is #4.

It's been three days, so time for an update. Found buyers for my second BK and IM, and both are in new homes. Numbers don't lie, and IM was the clear loser in this BATTLE of BORG's. Maybe it doesn't want to play nicely with the others. Did read some comments about selling JD and that started me thinking about listing it.

Then idea expanded into listing three pins (JD, WH20 and Shrek), selling one and keeping the other two. I'd like to open a future spot in the lineup.
