Sam NES Litman | 53 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Nope. Just hunted for this one for a loooong time. The purple label, 1st edition. I will not be collecting diff back labels on this cart. Just needed it to complete the 8 diff NeS Mega Man’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzombie | 927 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 @Sam NES Litman Ah ok! Thats cool to see. Like I said there are a few versions of them. But i'm still not convinced they were printed here. You can also make a case that the back may have been backswapped as well, as thats impossible to tell. Info is still pretty scant on this. If they were printed here, you'd find plenty more here. Compare how many more Stadium Events there are to this variant or any other label variant. Untouchables, Wayne Gretzky, etc. I wonder how much more common they are in Chile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMNT II pizza offer vs not, Tiger-Heli shades of gray, Klashball color variance, MTV Remote Control letter spacing, Ring King Yellow bar vs not, box back screen shot differences (Rad Racer, Tetris, SMB3, and a ton more). I could go on almost forever before I even hit copyright, screw and TM differences. I know you're trying to be succinct and just do "major" differences, but that's essentially impossible. In fact, it's actually really difficult to find a US NES game that doesn't have any variants. Seriously! Even just going for a set of loose carts! I am not joking!!! If you ever want to complete your set, you need to stop doing any more research right away.... can’t find anything on this Klashball variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam NES Litman | 53 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sweet! Thanks, I have over 1200 cartridges so far for the NES . I’ve found some crazy variants and it’s just fun to hunt! I know it’s a never ending story but I have goals still Thanks again for the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,537 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yeah, there's some weird label variants out there. Do you have the Castlevania with the oversized top label (where Konami appears upside down near the top of the label)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its overall lighter as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 927 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 FWIW, I was looking at prices on pricecharting (since that seems to be updated) and someone sold a 5 screw Mega Man for 3k? I saw a gotcha 5 for 2k but a best offer was taken. WTF is going on here? WHO is buying these at these prices?! Might as well just go to TG16 and Neo Geo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Brink_ | 48 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Ahh yes, the NES variant rabbit hole. In loose Black Box games alone, I have 131 variants and know of at least 3 I'm missing. For all 5 screws loose, I have 141 label variants - not including 9 factory mismatches & 1 upside down... and I know of 4 I'm missing (SE, MM, Tyson orange bullets) - so at least 145 out there. It will never end! Diving Ninja probably has a higher list amount. I do have an extra Silent Service 5 Screw CIB, Gotcha, Jaws & Super C - all in nice condition - but looking for variant trades. Would take a fair chunk of change otherwise - not really looking for cash. The only Star Force I have seen for sale was on eBay six years ago and I couldnt sleep for days until I won it. Best of luck - its a fun journey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already was and known to be when I got it. At the time I paid top dollar for it, which was $500. Its value has nothing to do with its rarity but its demand and I don't see that many people demanding it for that much. Variant collecting will always be smaller than the larger regular cart based collecting. So how is it worth more than every licensed game except SE? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I understand, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay! I just love how few there are known, which is why I had to have it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
