Weekly update: July 2nd - 8th, 2012

NES pickups for the week ending July 8th:

Abadox  w/manual
Cabal
Mach Rider
Othello
Platoon
Slalom
Star Voyager

A good week at the Flea Market!  Guess I sort of made up for the
fact that I didn't go last week, but with Canada Day celebrations, etc.
there was too much goin' on.

In terms of standouts from this group (for me personally anyway):  picking
up a couple more NES Black box games was nice (Mach Rider/Slalom) and getting
a two-fer with Abadox and it's manual was cool.  As you'll recall from my
previous post, I sort of decided on the spot that I might start trying to
amass some of the manuals along the way so this is a welcome addition.  The
games were all very clean and only Cabal required some cleaning to remove
red marker on the bottom, but stickers were all pretty much intact and the
carts were in overall good to very good condition.

This has also been an exciting week as I was asked to participate in an
interview/feature on a well-known retro gaming site.   This was pretty
cool as it gave me an excuse to get some quality photos done of my collection
and also let me relive some of my first Gaming memories.   Details about
the feature to follow!
