It was the original IBM PC keyboard--that went along with the 5150 I also appraised. Original IBM keyboards, with their mechanical switches and "feel" I sell quite often for $100.

If you are talking about my King of the Nerds application, no it was done by http://135studios.com who also did the Super Steel City Showdown video for Super 1UP games. Shane has certainly been out to the museum and has shot some video out there, most of which hasn't aired yet but will soon on his R...

There were two versions of HD Loader--the official retail release, which only saw a single release before being shut down - and then the "ps1" trigger discs. Basically, exploiting a weakness in the system, the PS1 game could trigger "patch" code located on the memory card. The pa...

leonk - please let me know next time you are in town. Even if the museum is not officially open I am sure I could give you a tour.

My NES collection is one I've never really focused on - just sort of grown organically ... I'm at 608 titles. Around 250 CIB

I am in Brantford, they generalize Toronto because that is recognizable. You have to remember this show airs in North America. It also helps protect the identity of the collectors to a degree.

And yes I have 66 TG16 Hu Cards and 16 TG CD's

Well Chris to be fair appraisals are a funny thing. A complete in the box Virtual Boy can go for $500 - and I did show him one earlier off camera (even though what they showed on camera was loose). As you know, it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. Just because you think they are only worth $...

New Checklist and some cool videogame ads

Hey folks I just wanted to let you know about a couple of updates on my personal page. First of all, people often ask me (as I'm sure they do all of you collectors out there) tips about collecting video games. When it comes to some of the newer systems and their daunting size, I tend to tell people ...

I'm not really sure that it matters--this is hand built by Mr. Baer but is NOT the one in the Smithsonian - which sadly remains stored with nobody able to play. This one is fully working and we look forward to having everyone give it a try! Mr. Baer is supporting what we are doing by also donating p...
