It has to be limited, it has to have a certificate of authenticity, etc.

But then after about 2 years collecting I started telling myself that really half of the games I own won't be worth anything because they are mass produced, because peoples mentality is that it will be worth money just like the Nintendo ones. But what people don't understand is that durning the Atari and Nintendo times no one really had the mentality of collecting that's why if you find something sealed or at least brand new from that era it's worth a lot of money. Not like now that everyone now usually collects them to try to make an extra buck, because honestly you know how many people think the same way we do now, oh if I keep this sealed it will be worth money. If you wait let's say 20 years to sell your game you will most likely see another 20,000 or even more at the same time unless is one that is very limited. Also during the Nintendo days how many games came out with a collectors edition maybe 5 of them not like now that every game comes out with one and they mass produced them. That's why the ones that are actually limited and I don't mean limited to 30,000 , I mean limited will be worth more money that's why I try to collect those and also I like the idea that I am one of the few who has it and who ever is on here and has there collector sealed and tells me they are not doing it for resale value then that's bullshit because then why will you have it sealed it the first place. This is my honest opinion so I hope no one takes it the wrong way.

100% nail on the head
