Predictions
Background
New York resident Michael Thomasson was awarded the Guinness World Record for his cornucopia of retro classics in December 2012, clocking up 10,607 games. Since then, Thomasson says that he's added around 400 new ones since, bringing the total up to more than 11,000 games. At the time of writing, the highest bid sits at $50,000 (£30,000), still short of the reserve price set for the haul.
For the right price, the discerning collector can walk away with more than 2,600 factory-sealed mint-condition games and a further 5,700 boxed with manual. As if that's not enough, Thomasson is throwing in a lifetime subscription to RETRO magazine and the crown itself, his Guinness World Record.
"Win this auction and you will have the largest recorded collection of games in the world -- or Universe, even," Thomasson says in the listing. "I'm handing over the baton and the winner will instantly become the new crown holder, without three plus decades of meticulous hunting."
