Coolection At TooManyGames - Ultimate Retro Riches Market

 

 

This June, Coolection is hitting the road.


From Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29, we’re bringing our full gaming firepower to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center for TooManyGames 2025. It’s Pennsylvania’s biggest gaming convention, and we’re also going big. We’ll be on-site all three days, vending in the marketplace alongside some of the biggest names in gaming culture. 


Our booth will be packed wall-to-wall with retro classics, high-end grails, Magic: The Gathering singles, sealed product, hardware, collectibles, and modern titles. We’re loading up for every kind of collector. This isn’t a highlight reel of the collection, this is the collection. And you’re all invited!

Rare SNES Games You’ll Want to See In Person

 

The SNES legacy is deep. At TooManyGames, we’re bringing titles that rarely leave the vault. Some are sealed while some are in pristine condition with complete packaging.  Don’t worry, all of them are showstoppers like Castlevania Dracula X, Chrono Trigger, Mega Man 7, and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy.


They represent the golden age of 16-bit brilliance, and seeing them in person, clean, sharp, and verified authentic, makes a difference. Every SNES piece we bring has been cleaned, tested, and stored with care. We treat them like museum pieces because that’s what they actually are.


Ask about Little Samson, Duck Tales 2, or Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus while you’re at the booth. Not everything will make it to the table at once, but if we have it in stock, we can bring it for the next day.

Collection Builders and Loose Classics

 

A full library grows one cart at a time and this mindset guides our bulk bins. You will see rows of cleaned shells sorted by console and region. Each piece runs on original hardware without fuss. We test pins and polish contacts before tagging prices.


NES and SNES bins hold the evergreen staples. The titles still shine on a CRT with no mods. A quick scrub of the contacts and they boot on the first try. Prices sit well below boxed copies, so you can snag three games for the cost of one grail.


N64 stock features fan favorites that still spark party nights. Mario Tennis and Wave Race remain perfect picks for couch play. We pack extra joystick caps for worn controllers, sold at cost. Need a Memory Pak? We keep a stack tested for save retention.


PlayStation 2 and GameCube selections cater to players crossing from retro into early 2000s nostalgia. You will spot Metal Gear Solid 2, Ico, Viewtiful Joe, and more. Discs ship in fresh cases with resurfaced bottoms. Minor scuffs never reach the data layer and we guarantee full play-throughs.


Loose does not mean junk. Each item receives a grading slip in plain language. “Surface clean, minor label fade” might drop the price but never hide issues. You can ask to see the cart under booth lighting if you need a closer look. Our staff can swap regions on a RetroTINK to prove compatibility.


Are you looking for sealed copies? We bring current-gen hits still in shrink, plus a sprinkling of late-print Wii gems. Complete-in-box staples like Super Mario All-Stars land on a dedicated shelf. 


You can pick up a box protector at checkout and walk away ready for display. We love matching players with games that fit tight budgets and big dreams.

Magic - The Gathering and Sealed Cards

 

You can expect real cardboard heat at our booth. We plan to showcase Commander staples like Dockside Extortionist, fetch lands from Khans, and reserve-list power pieces. Foil mythics rest in magnetic holders, each tagged with current TCG median. 

Older pulls from Urza’s Saga sit beside borderless modern art from Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Every card goes through a strict surface check and fresh penny sleeve.

Sealed inventory spans key sets like Double Masters 2022 draft boxes that are wrapped tight, plus Modern Horizons collectors. We will carry Lorcana booster cases for Disney fans who want variety. Our playmats stay rolled in tubes, ready for a quick unboxing at the hotel lobby games.

Trades are welcome all weekend. You bring a binder and a clear idea of your wants. We use live TCGPlayer mid to keep numbers fair. High-end swaps take place at a side table so traffic keeps moving. Bulk rares convert into credit for that one missing dual land. Cash payouts available for graded slabs if paperwork matches.

We stock inner sleeves, deck boxes, and toploaders right next to the showcase. You can swing by, chat about the meta, and pick up fresh tech for Friday night Commander pods.

 

We’ll Be Buying Games and Cards On-Site

 

Trades keep the hobby fresh. Pack a backpack with spares and visit our intake counter. We look for loose carts, boxed sets, handheld systems, sealed boosters, and graded slabs. Clean gear draws stronger offers, yet we still quote on well-loved stock.


We want to talk with everyone! But conventions can be crazy, so our ability to purchase collections and games will vary based on the traffic at the booth. Please know that we may need to ask you to wait a little bit until things calm down, but that doesn't mean we don't want to talk with you!

The process moves fast. You can hand over your items. Our staff logs each piece, checks condition notes, and pulls up live market data. You receive a cash and a credit quote in minutes. Credit nets extra value if you plan to shop the booth.


Are you selling a full collection? We break it into lots so you understand the numbers. Consoles power on at our test station. Cartridges boot on original hardware. Cards slide under LED magnifiers to confirm surfaces. Transparency matters, this is why you see every step.


We explain region locks, label variants, and print codes. Many guests pick up new grading tips during these walk-throughs. No pressure to sell if the value surprises you.


Large trades can stay with us while you roam the hall. Return later for payout. We settle in cash, PayPal, or store credit. Turn forgotten boxes into fresh grails before the weekend ends.

 

Can’t Find It at the Show? We’ll Bring It Next Day

 

Our warehouse holds far more stock than one booth can handle. Space limits force tough choices, so some gems stay behind on Friday. Spot a game, console, or foil on Coolection.com that you need? Flag any staffer. Show the listing on your phone. We tag the item, pull it after close, and load it on the next truck run. Your request moves to a marked bin, ready when doors open.


Here is the routine:

  1. Submit the SKU before 4 p.m.

  2. Pick up a claim ticket with your name and the item code.

  3. Return the next morning and pay at checkout.


We do not charge a holding fee. You skip shipping and gain a first look at the condition before purchase. If the piece fails to meet your standards, no hard feelings. We place it on the sales table, and you move on to the next hunt.

Final-day limits apply. Sunday lacks a follow-up window, so place requests early on Friday and Saturday. Large hardware, like CRT monitors or boxed systems, rides in padded cases to protect corners. Smaller carts arrive in plastic shells for safe hand-off. This on-demand pull service puts our entire catalog within easy reach all weekend.

Mention This Blog, Get a Surprise

 

Readers drive our mission. Your clicks and comments keep rare stock moving into new homes. We want to thank you, live and in person. 

Walk up to the booth. Say, “I read the Coolection hype post.” That short sentence unlocks a sealed envelope. Each envelope hides a reward.

Possible pulls include:

  • Instant five-dollar credit. 

  • A sealed Lorcana booster.

  • A Coolection sticker set.

  • A mystery discount code for a percentage off anything on the Coolection website


One envelope per reader, while supplies last. No purchase needed. Just greet the crew, smile, and claim the perk.

Golden tickets lurk in three envelopes. Find one and pick any loose cart priced under twenty dollars. We ring it up for zero. Pose for a victory photo if you wish.

Bring friends who follow the blog. Each reader earns their own shot at loot. We love rewarding the people who read every line.

Feedback Bounty, Score Big

Fresh ideas drive fresh inventory. If you notice a gap in our lineup, tell us. Maybe you spot a missing handheld line, an overlooked TCG, or a niche accessory brand. Share the tip at the booth or tag us on social media during the show.


We log each suggestion in a quick form: item type, publisher, and why it fits. Our team reviews these notes on Monday after TooManyGames. If we green-light your suggestion and bring the new line into stock within ninety days, you earn store credit.


We notify winners by email and list them in a thank-you post. You can spend credit online or at the next convention. Help shape Coolection’s catalog and pocket savings in the process.
