First of all: I'm not a collector of VCS stuff that's breakable.
In fact, the only VCS related items I own, are a pair of CX40 joysticks that I use for playing and testing VCS games on my PC (with the help of the excellent Stelladaptor).
I did own an Atari 2600 game console once, though.
Back in the early eighties I fell in love with the VCS when I visited a huge toy fair in Amsterdam.
It was August 1983 and the dam of the game console software river was completely busted.
