Why first party? My action replay has been holding nearly 20-year-old save files just fine.
You are very very lucky. Not sure about Saturn, but so many horror storys on AR memory cards, especially the older code entry Gamecube versions. I would not use an AR card other then the bootup requirement, even backed up the AR file to a regular 1st party card.
The action replay 4 in 1 (gameshark, 1/4 mb ram expansion pack, and Memory card) is great but it can only backup saves already on the Sega saturn console. The first party memory cards (and I imagine some memory card only third party carts) you can save to the memory card in game. I only play arcade ports on the SS so I don't know from first had experience. Time to go play some Die Hard Arcade I think.

Made some additions over the last few weeks, the best deals coming from a couple of garage sales I stopped by while on my way to other things.

PS3 - Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls for $1 each (Demon's Souls has no manual, Valkyria is complete and like new)
PS1 - Crash Bandicoot for $3 (Greatest Hits, complete)

Hit some pawn shops I've never been to before and came up mostly blanked, but on my last stop I grabbed Jak and Daxter Collection for PS3 and WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game for Genesis for $10 together. Jak and Daxter is like new, WWF came with the case but no manual.

Pick Axe Pete is a good one - nice add. I love K.C. Munchkin. The word scramble game gets surprising mileage with my wife and kids - might be enjoyed by a group. Lots of games on the recent article from Jex the Gamer on the Racketboy main page are worth a look.

Wow that is sexy. I've seen many cocktail cabs that were completely torn up, but that's in great shape.
