if their personality tends to be a completionist then why not, its allways satisfying to have something you truly want 100% and not 75% :D

my tips would be to take your time to seek for the best prices rather than going and paying normal prices for it. The fun of collecting is hunting it down and getting the best bargain deals.

305 NTSC-U releases? I'm pretty sure, like 100% sure, the number is 297, if you count the different colored cart releases (games released on black and grey cart, like Turok 2 and others), it is 304 I believe. And if you count the international version of Yoshi, then your looking at 305.

International Superstar Soccer will be harder to find than worms/conkers, particularly at auction. You'll likely have to break down and pay the $55+ ebay/amazon price http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=n64 ... n=1&_sop=1

Most of the blockbuster exclusives are tougher to find, stunt racer, sculptors cut, etc and you'll end up having a hard time getting those in trade.

Its a great collection to start with, relatively small, not a ton of super-rare stuff, 70% of it is playable / enjoyable and it doesn't take a ton of room.

Until your around 240-250, i'd suggest buying those huge lots that show up on ebay fairly often, it might make you cringe putting out $200 or whatever it is, but long term if your goal is the library, you'll save tons that way - plus you'll acquire dups to use as trade bait.

Here's what mine looked like in December (i've since blown it up and kept just the 170 titles I liked best). It was very fun collecting it, good luck!
