I've really been considering collecting original Game Boy stuff when I start seriously collecting again. That is, if I ever again have the financial footing TO start seriously collecting again. :?

GB and GBC has always interested me. I never realized there were hardcore collectors out there. Ive got two original GB's and GBC's as well as some games. My local Play N Trades have a shitload of GB and GBC carts laying around for sale.

So what, may I ask, is the hardest/rarest/most expensive GB and GBC game to get hold of?

Anyone?

Well ,they are talking about a bible for the GB, I'm sure that's rarer than any other game in the list.

And yes, we demand pics!

It needs updating. I went looking for Mr. Do! on eBay a couple months ago and there were a bunch of carts selling for $20.

yep, some of those are not so rare or expensive anymore. And like I said, F-1 Pole Position should be there. It's not that expensive, but just doesn't pop up so often.

also, I wish Magical Chase was less than $100. Y'know, if you all went in on a Christmas gift for old NR... :|

I have a bit of a GB collection going, but I've been forgoing buying until I start beating some. Until yesterday when I bought Yggdra Union >.<

EDIT: did a count. 12 original GB carts, 7 GBC carts, 20 GBA carts. I don't have them all on me atm, so some of these are more-or-less. I'm more fond of the GBA obviously, but I'm also aiming for specific games, not just collecting for a full set.
