Tracking your video games requires more than a spreadsheet. Establish clear ownership history, monitor private baseline values, and generate structured reports ready for your records.
Document your Video Games portfolioHigh-value physical assets carry unique documentation and claim risks. Use our documentation checklist to establish verified provenance, and organize complete insurance documentation across your private collectibles portfolio.
Document the exact publisher, platform, UPC barcode, and regional code (NTSC/PAL). For sealed or graded games, record the Wata or CGC certification number, print run variant (e.g., hangtab, first print, cardboard style), and cartridge/disc serial codes.
Evaluate shrink-wrap integrity, seal ratings (e.g., A++, A), corner wear, and box crushing. For unsealed items, document PCB board authenticity, contact pin corrosion, manual spine wear, and disc scratch severity.
Track original retail receipts, distribution source documentation, and auction house invoices. For autographed or promotional items, record developer signing event details, press kit distribution records, and previous collector pedigrees.
Log recent realized auction prices from platforms like Heritage or Goldin for identical grades. Maintain conservative baseline values adjusted for market volatility, ensuring replacement schedules reflect current demand for rare variants.
