280 games and one of the worst pictures ever for such a huge collection. BIN works out to $9.20 a game. I'd call this worth it given the time it would take to put a complete collection together.
The list they are using has Sega Swirl on it, they don’t have the big box for Seaman, and it looks like they are missing (though its a variant of a variant, but since there are Hot!New!, NRF’s AND all SAS games including the NFL 2k SAS variant, its a valid call IMO) either the printed or stickered (I can’t tell with a spine pic) Hot!New! version for Hydro, NFL Blitz and Ready 2 Rumble.

A full DC set isn’t really all that hard to put together thanks to its real lack of rarites. A few games will cost some $$, but its a fairly small list. The rest are fairly easy to come across as well.

Yeah, a couple of years ago a really nice set sold for around $1800–just above my max. They were sticker free and as mint as possible. The poor description and lack of pictures makes me wonder here…

Even if this was legit, this takes away the fun. I’m working on building up a complete DC collection. Started 9/09 and I’m new to the whole collecting in general scene…I’m up to 37 games now including Sonic 10th Anniversary LE and Samba de Amigo box set. Do you guys go for the rare ones first or the commons? My approach has been look for deals on rares first as the prices are only going to go up…does it make a difference?
Tim, a lot of people who were hardcore into NES collecting went the rare first route – and many are very grateful. In general, rare prices go up, common prices go down.
Stu, i`m still putting the BIN at plausible sale. A bit overpriced, but plausible.
Are you actively hunting slash collecting DC variants?

Link, i’ve got a full DC collection, with all known variants.
I know there are a few potential bugged copies of games (I don’t have), but those are more factory errors than true variants and to find them would be more of a chore than its worth. There are also the 3rd party Gun+Game packins for HotD2 and Confidential Mission I don’t have either, but since those wern’t official releases, i’m not TOO grumpy about it. I’m sure i’ll get those at some point, but i’m in no rush.
The only stuff ‘released’ I don’t have are some of the ODM’s and any of the standalone DC Demo discs. But those DC Demos are quite the bear to get.
It’s not quite a ‘complete’ set.
