In Collecting

im very new to nes collecting and i havnt a clue what's rare and what's not.
is there any database of rarity? i have one here, but i dont know how reliable it is, so i figured i'd get the info from people i can trust to tell me the right thing.

because it was my 18th on the weekend i have some money to burn, so i bought the classic book. cost me over $40 though including shipping.. i hate australia more every day... (it's an awesome place to live though)

woah! $40 bucks for a book?! my dad is from Australia so I got some Australian blood in me. kindda glad I dont live there though since shipping is so high. I wouldnt mind going there and seeing where my dad grew up though.

i know this is late but Happy Birthday man.

Happy Birthday from me, too.

And a hint:
Read through the forums a bit more. I think Luke alone recommended digitpress.com for about 100 times...
