NES Pickups - March 21st, 2015

Today was a little different than most pickup days because it consisted of two trips to my favorite game seller/trader's house.  The first trip I went with some cash in hand and came home with 5 new games (2 in boxes).  During the first visit I had mentioned, in passing, that I'd really love some of his other boxes and manuals and might have some games at home I would be willing to trade.

A few hours later, armed with about 10 of my doubles, I returned to barter my way to one more boxed game, about 24 loose boxes and 16 game manuals.  There were several stand outs in this lot not the least of was the box, manual and 3-d glasses for the game rad racer.  I also got Jurassic Park which is one I've been on the hunt for for awhile.  With these additions I think I stand at about 48 CIB games now (a collection I haven't really been trying to get but have came across through happenstance here and there).  As with anything that is the better part of 3 decades old there is a varying degree of wear and tear on the boxes and manuals, but I'm going to chalk it up to the proverbial character giving thing. I also got a near mint Gyromite with box and manual! New games acquired are as follows:  F-15 Strike Eagle, Jurassic Park, Wheel of Fortune: Vanna White Edition, Dirty Harry and Smash TV.

Since the boxes and manuals are too numerous to mention here I've provided some pictures below:
