That's the thing about an estimate. It is an approximation, not a statistic. It also depends
on the top five in what catagory, Number, Age, Quality, or combo thereof. Either way it
was a pretty good spot, and I think the recognition is deserved. Even though it's going
to make the chances of finding games in the area a little more slim for a while
Himself (Him*self") (?), pron.
1. An emphasized form of the third person masculine pronoun; -- used as a subject usually with he;
Jamshid, who is known in the video game collector's world as "Exidy," estimates he has one of the top five biggest collections of arcade machines in the country.

I had a friend just mention that "you only listed 56" games.. But I have 110 games, actual working uprights. The rest are in my garage, I did mention that but they "edited" that out. It doesnt matter anyway, because I probably have more games than you haters anyway

Perhaps not in the "top five biggest", but with that lineup of sweet looking games he's definitely a contender to be included in the "top five best" collections in the country. Congrats Jon! Please let us know when the vid gets posted.

In all of this thread, I haven't seen any "hater" comments so I'll figure you're referencing my post. All I can say is Jezzus people, you need to relax!
Exidy, either my sense of humor is getting worse as I age, or you don't find the absurdity of the FL news story about your collection from back in the day worthy of a laugh (at the old days). I'd hope you still find that piece amusing....if not, that's too bad because it is for me.
My comment about the estimation is something I find typical of news stories. In no way was it meant to be a pissing match, so please don't take it as one. Half the time when media reports on collections, something always gets tweaked. It's unforutunate the news didn't state your entire collection numbers. Triple digits are impressive - although I don't envy storing that many. (oh wait, that was negative)
On a positive note for all you sensitive types, congratulations on the coverage, the new game room definitely deserves it.

I thought they did a great job. Some great photography for sure. Certainly better than a lot of segments I have seen.

So how did it all come about? Did you call them up or something?
Very cool! Can't wait for the video!
Awesome collection! Too bad I didn't see this thread until now or else I would've watched the news tonight.
I gotta see your collection in person some day. I saw that you have a Blaster upright which I'm itching to play.
