My desk is looking a little crazy 🤩 but I’m okay with it! by @socalretrodude

Possibly my favorite console (aesthetically) in the collection. Who else loves GameCube? 🌶️🧡

Mt. Fuji out the window.
Super Nintendo in my hands.
This is what a proper travel setup looks like.
The @hyperkin SupaBoy doesn’t just pack light — it travels right.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day (2001) 🐿️

Fun fact: this game started as a cute N64 platformer called Twelve Tales: Conker 64… until Rare flipped the script and turned it into one of the most outrageous games on the console.

Plot twist: this was my wife’s favorite game growing up… and her parents had no idea what she was actually playing 😂

Running it on the Daiei Hawks N64 just feels right.

Did you play Conker back in the day or discover it later?

The holy trinity of Pokemon cards 🙌

Slowly switching over to @taggrading What’re your thoughts on TAG vs PSA?!

This is how collecting should be! The first photo was taken Oct 31st and the second was taken Nov 2nd. No scalpers lining up for hours. More than enough units for everyone. My heart breaks for those that have experienced scalpers, preorder cancellations, or limited units at your local stores. This isn’t to brag but to highlight how this community was intended to be. Hoping all that want one get one for MSRP 🤞 by @socalretrodude

I thought I was SOL. Here… In Japan… The North American variant has been acquired 😎🙃🥹
A huge shoutout to @villagepillage for the call 👌 by @socalretrodude

lots of link lately 🗡️

I skipped over my original save file from 16 years ago and started a new game on the PVM. What a story. Pure gold. 👌 What’s your favorite Zelda title? by @socalretrodude

Surprise surprise from one of my best mates @professor_nostalgia. And if I’m being honest, it couldn’t have come at a better time. This week has been arguably the worst for me as a collector. That’s a story for another time. Thank you for the amazing lot bro. I can’t wait to continue to send each other cards. 👌 This is what community is all about! by @socalretrodude
