I was talking to someone about collecting the other day... and I started to realize that it seems everyone has different rules about the condition and/or accessories included with the items they add to their collection. For example - I really don't care about boxes, at all. I realize that other people want complete games, so I'll hold onto some boxes for things I might resell - but I hate having packaging cluttering up my workspace. Since I don't want the box, I can pick up carts much cheaper. However - I will *not* keep a cart with writing on it, or if the cart label is in sucky condition. I hate finding a game I want, but it turns out so be covered in rental stickers, has some punk kids initials on it, or has that sticker residue I have come to call gamestop slime on the label so I can't clean it off.


So I ask you guys, what rules do you have for adding stuff to the collection?
