The Magazine

Long reads, findings from the archive and opinions with a name on them. Issue one is being written, and it comes out when it is worth reading.

What the numbers say

Findings from cataloguing every copy: which editions hold their value, what complete in box really costs this year.

Opinions with a name on

Whether a game is worth owning, whether an edition is worth the premium. Said plainly, and wrong sometimes.

Guides nobody else wrote

Which variants of one game exist across which regions, and how to tell them apart on a shelf.

Collections and rescues

Other collectors, with permission. And one object per issue that was heading for a skip.

The short versions are free

When an issue comes out, what we found goes up here for everyone, without the tables and the working. Until then, everything we have written is already in the Journal.

If you collect something properly, have taken a console apart and learned something, or hold a strong opinion about a game nobody else remembers, I would like to hear from you.
