Insignificant collections: a home for the proud but unimpressive

It's a hint book published by the Ultimate Game Club in 1991. It has about 120 pages on the NES, 8 on the Genesis, 7 on the Turbografx (14 games), and a couple on the gameboy, SMS, and neo-geo. It's all short hints and codes - no walkthroughs, no pictures.  Some factoids are listed about each game (# players, genre, difficulty, a Game Club rating of 1-10, name of last boss, and whether a battery or password is used).

Thanks for the scoop. Sadly, that sounds like a sad little TG-16 section .

I used to collect ECW/WWF/WCW wrestling figures from 1996 - 2001 and had every series complete, I had a wrestling addiction.  I had over 275 MISB but moved abroad and wasn't going to take them with me.  I tried to sell them but couldn't find anyone who would buy them.  My last resort was to give them away to the neighborhood kids who opened nearly all of them in front of me and proceeded to trash them. 

I kept the Owen Hart Blue Blazer and Brian Pillman figs but that's all I have left.

Here is mine.  This photo is about five years old.  There are some missing 3 or 4 dress shoes and some more gym shoes.  I haven't really bought many pairs since then and they aren't nearly as shiny, but all should still be around. 

I liked Retro Jordan IV and VI a lot and air max 95.  I started around my junior year in HS and got alot over the next 5 years.  After that it was just a few here or there.

I know the Red/Grey Air Max in the second row from the end are really hurtin, but I don't want to separate them from their brothers.  Someday I will treat myself to another pair.

Get your shoes off the furniture!

And I thought having 3 pairs was a lot for a guy....

That shoe collection IS pretty impressive.  Lots of great classics!

I had a pair of original Jordan IVs, Jordan Vs, '90 Air Flight, '91 Airmax, and Reebok Pump in the early '90s.  Back then I begged and pleaded with my parents to buy these $100+ shoes and I remember telling them something to the effects of: "Nike Air shoes are so comfortable it's like walking on air and they make you jump higher with the large air pillow".

In retrospect, I feel absolutely terrible about forcing my parents to spend so much money on buying shoes for me.  

I should have begged for Turbo stuff instead. O:)

Ha yeah I had some pumps when I was like pre-teen those were great.  I almost bought a pair some years back when they re-did them but never got around to it.  I have a similar story w/ Scottie Pippen's first shoe.  I begged my mom for some and they were expensive as hell too.  Then i got them home and ruined and scuffed them super quick from playing outside.  I was super upset I wanted to cry I'm sure i probably did.

Let's see: boots, bowling shoes, fancy shoes, running shoes....D'oh!

good lookin kicks up there.

I all of a sudden fell into a comic book collection for which I have ZERO interest in...

[Necromancer]

Heh, Leather & Lace.

[bob]

Heh, Leather & Lace.

yeah, no shit, rediculous.

I thought the "electronics" one from radio shack may at least have some cool sci-fi artwork in it or something.  Um, no, wind turbines and walkie talkies.

Ah hell, I forgot the boots in the garage.  Apparently I have a lot too.
