What a "complete set" really means

Most collectors count the licensed retail releases for one region. Our totals cover every Nintendo Entertainment System game in our catalogue with a bot-verified market price, so they are a realistic buying budget rather than a theoretical list price. Variants, regional reprints and promotional discs are not included.

Loose totals are the cheapest way in and usually land at a fraction of the complete-in-box figure. Sealed totals are dominated by a few graded copies and are far less liquid — very few collectors ever complete a sealed set.
