COLLECTORS ONLY: Do Reprints, Re-releases, etc. Hurt your collecting goals?

To me, it really depends on the game that is reprinted.

It depends on the game system. I have a friend that collects the greatest hits/platinum hits games as well as the regular edition. He told me, " It adds a new dimension to collecting and they save you money when you buy them brand new." I agree with him partially, but I think that if someone is a die hard collector they will not be happy with a GH/PH over an original release. That is unless they are into variant collecting.

I don't usually mind if a game is reprinted. It may affect the value, but I don't usually sell games. As for GH games, I'm on CAG most of the time and we get some advance notice alot of the time of when they're going GH. I was able to get a non-GH copy of KHII a week before it went GH and price match it to the GH price.
