Come this August I'll have 23 years into the hobby and during that time I've owned 639 games to date, of which I kept what you see in the collection. Back in 2012 I finally broke even by buying, trading and selling games and that paid for all the keepers. It's been a great hobby that has more then paid for itself and I've met a lot of great people along the way and we share the collection once a year with our annual party. O'yeah and like someone else said, working a real job seven days a week helps a little too.
