Thats amazing! I'm super jealous.
I like to "collect" myself, but never like that to the extent. And most of the time I open the stuff. And I only like to collect games that I like. Anything I buy game wise unless I really dislike it, I never sell or give away, and anything I really love I display. I love buying collector's editions to games I love and getting the little statues or figurines or metal shiny cases. Probably the only highlight of Final Fantasy XIV was the collector's edition box LOL The best collectors box was Metal Gear Solid 4 because of its artwork.
I still have a solid collection of PS2 games on that note.
"Did you buy Zone of the Enders just to get at the demo version of Metal Gear Solid 2."
Oh hell yeah, and I remember I ended up loving ZoE to death. I still have both discs, mint, in the original box in my drawer. Hell, I remember
the day I bought it.

Just imagine later on how much it will
make him in the end if he ever decides to depart with it. You'd be surprised how many PS2 games go online even though they're not too old
even now. And sealed? It would make your skin crawl how much. Collector edition of Metal Gear Solid 3 sealed goes for
quite a penny. And if those games are original boxing (ie not PlayStation Red Discount boxes), they could eventually go for more later. Final Fantasy VII for the PSX in its original black banner box goes for alot. I still have that jewel case, but the discs are gone yet I still have the green jewel case and discs for the PlayStation Discount.
Sometimes I wonder what the value of even PS3 and 360 games I buy now will go for in the future. I wish I had the unlimited cash flow to buy 2 copies of every game, and just throw the sealed one into the dungeon or for display.
