My Handheld Collection

[jasontgarrett]

Thanks to any and all who participated in the auctions! Of the 45 or so listed, sold all but 1. Also got to (virtually) meet and chat with some great fellow collectors, which is always fun!

At one point my collection was up to about 300; over the years I’ve sold it down to a more manageable (for me) 50 or so remaining.

In the spirit of Pride Month, sharing here some pics of the "rainbow" of all 9 of the Gakken LSI's that were in that adorable shape. I don't think I've ever seen a post of a pic of all 9 together, so now we have 'em for posterity:

Yeah, I could've stuck the American Soccer / European Football side by side, but that wouldn't have been as fun as mixing up the colors.

At some point this summer, when I have the time and patience to find all of the boxes, styrofoam inserts, and instruction manuals, I plan to put these up for auction as a single lot. My remaining 40 or so will always be in my possession, but these 9 -- although adorable -- should go to someone who'll love 'em even more.

Quite Beautiful!
