I have added the following carts to the collection:

1. Xenon 2
2. Robocop Vs The Terminator
3. Supreme 30 in 1 (bootleg)

All of them in mint condition.
I didn't really wanted the 30 in 1 cart, but it has some cool games like TMNT III, Motocross Maniacs, Batman III, and the cart has good quality plastic and sticker. Also, it was about 4 bucks.

Parasol Henbee (Jap) added to the collection.
I'm happy about it because it's my first cart released only in Japan :D

I need some help organizing my pictures, how should i do it?

1. Post a pic for each cart, this way the details are good and i can easily update the pictures when i add a new cart.
2. Post a group of pictures only for rare carts and general pictures with the carts in the binder as it is now.
3. Only post pictures with the carts in the binder as i did before.

Or do you guys have other suggestions?

Later edit: there is also an option to post details for each game, like release year, genre, compatibility (classic, color, color compatible with classic). Can this info be useful?

I have finally put some order in the pictures from the first and second posts: cropped the console pictures, added pictures for each cart, added details for the games (release year and genre).
I've also added two great games to the collection: Joe & Mac Caveman Ninja and Prince of Persia.

I would post pictures of 4 to 6 carts at once. Less pictures, but they should still be nice and easy to see the labels.

I've tried this option but its hard to update the photos when new carts are added to the collection.
With one pic per cart it's easy to update.

I've added Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Swamp Thing to the collection.
Pics and details are available in the first post.

Castlevania II made my day. I can't describe the feeling that i had when i touched the cart for the first time :D

Later edit: I almost forgot that i bought Advance Wars Dark Conflict (Days of Ruin) the other days. My favorite DS game, got it sealed for 14$ from a supermarket :D

You could just do this with the older carts and just leave the newer carts as lone pictures, until there are 4-6 lone pictures, then take them together.

I'm trying to keep them alphabetically ordered. I'll think of something to group the pictures and keep the first post shorter and easier to watch :)

Anyway, its a celebration today: the Game Boy Color Pikachu Pokémon Limited Edition is added to the collection. Pic in the first post.
Bought it for 8 bucks (plus 2 bootleg carts, Rats and F15, no value here) and it is impeccable, no scratch, nothing. The battery cover was missing but i had an extra one, so everything is perfect :D

Oh hey I got a similar gameboy! :D

Except mine has the basic buttons, and changing gold and silver paint/plastic and in way worse condition than that (AND missing the battery cover).

You have the silver one, nice. I like the Pokemon branded handhelds :) Tho I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan.

Also, i've updated the first post with grouped pictures. I hope they are easier to browse now.
