I just snagged a Goindol PCB off of Ebay because I couldn't resist and thought I'd throw the question out there, which is who here has the most PCB sets? I'm not talking about people whom sell them as a business either, just people whom collect them.

I've got a few but I'm sure there's PLENTY of people here who can blow my collection out of the water.

Also for the fun of it what's the oddest board you have? I guess mine would be a Rotary Fighter set and a TV Pinball.

I win hands down around 6000

Holy shit, you serious? Where the hell do you store them? And remember I'm talking about collectors whom like to use them themselves and not re-sellers.
 
I've never counted....I'd guess 800-1000. My untested ones are wrapped in bubble wrap and stored in big labeled Rubbermaid containers (that is , the ones I've cataloged). The ones I've yet to catalog, are in boxes. My tested/working one are individually wrapped and stored in USPS boxes.

My oddest board....maybbe my Cops 'N Robbers complete set.

Sorry, I haven't done VAPS in years. I got tired of my accound being reset (though, I believe that problem was fixed). I don't have the patience for that much typing.

It's been FIVE YEARS since an account has been reset for not participating in the census (before we took it over). So long in fact that we are about to start doing it again in a modest way to clear out some of the junk entries, but in no way that should affect you.

Give it a try. The census project is a good cause and you might find it useful.

I did say years;)

I figure if people take the time to put it in their VAPS they prolly dust the board off and plug it in every once in a while. Good way to keep inventory of your games too :D ( I love this place ).


I will agree tho it is easier when you only have a few boards to add to your VAPS. I've had no issues with resetting.

RE: VAPS, I think my account was there for just a few days before it was wiped clean in whatever housekeeping they were doing at the time.

Pissed me off enough not to bother with it again.

Under new management? I'll check it out :)

Off the top of my head, I know I've got dozens and dozens of GORF boards and 25 or 30 Pac boards.
 
I am guess close to 200 to 300. Here is just 1 set of them I have. had to move them all for my gameroom project. I have 2 more shelves in the livingroom. This BRICK of boxes is in rows of 10 - 3 per layer and 5 layers. Most have 1 board, some have 2, per box.

I remember stuffmonger had a crap-ton of boards. I haven't seen him on here in a while,but everytime I saw him post it seemed his board count would increase by like 10 or so.
 
I don't want to know how much money I have tied up in boards, so I don't count them anymore. :eek:

I'm glad I never got into collecting Pac boards. It seems everyone has > a dozen Pac boards. I'm surprised they sold for what they did for so long.

I probably have a hundred or two boards. Earliest is probably Pac or Centipede and the latest is probably late 80's IIRC. Most are from the early 80's with only a dozen or so past '86.

Well since I have only sold about 5 boards this year I seem to only be collecting them. I have 2 roll that are 75 feet long and 5 shelves high full and a parts room that is 500sqft that is full of boards and kits
