Collecting on a Budget with John Hancock

John Hancock is a long-time video game collector, enthusiast, and historian – by which we mean he has entirely too many games that he never stops talking about. He has been a visible face for the retro gaming crowd for some years, mainly because he is usually hovering, vulture-like, over the rarest thing on a given vendors booth. We’re reasonably sure he has some kind of psychic game radar. John is friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastically shares his love of gaming with everyone.

John and his impressive game collection have been featured in several media interviews and articles over the years. John’s game room can only be described as staggering. Despite having around 5,000 games and hundreds of consoles, John somehow manages to have a wife and son (who is already sorting his building blocks by color and rarity), and he works as a counselor with mental health patients.
