Ahans 76, member of the Playstation Collecting Community, probably deserves the title of King of PS2 Collectors, after he managed to acquire a brand new, sealed copy of every game ever released for the PlayStation 2.
Ahans 76 says his passion for collecting video-game related items can be traced back to when he was 16 years old. He saw a Sega Game Gear handheld, in the window of a Game Crazy shop, and since he had always wanted yo own one as a kid, but never got the chance, he bought it on the spot. This awakened his collector’s spirit and made him consider collecting more video games and consoles. As far as his unique PS 2 game collection is concerned, he didn’t go for the full library from the start, he more like fell into it. He was buying a lot more games than he could play, and at one stage he had about 300 to 400 sealed games, so he looked on the Internet to see how many other games here were and landed on a website where it said the PS 2 had 800 games. Seeing he was already half through, he decided to go for the whole collection.

By the time he learned there were actually a lot more games released for Sony’s most popular console ever, he had already acquired too many video-games from shops going out of business, to stop. Most of the games in his collection were bought at retail price, but for some he was willing to pay hundreds of dollars, in order to get sealed copies. Such was the case with “Wizardry: Tale Of The Forsaken Land” of which he already had 4 copies, but all of them had a whole in the case’s barcode, and that wasn’t acceptable. He ended up paying $300 for it. The last game in his collection was the first “Moto GP”, he got it off eBay for $9.
