Matchbook | 194 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Went in to the local store today and they kindly showed me this. It made my day because this is the first time seeing it in the wild and I actually got to hold it. Sorry for the bad pics but their lighting is terrible in the store. Now I will say I was a little perturbed to hear they took a magic eraser to it to get sharpie off the cart and LABEL? Nooooooooo! Whyyyyyyy! Not this game. Needless to say some of the texture was smoothed. Label has a little bubbling and the cart has some of that light white abraded coloring to it. If anyone is interested let me know. He said they would probably go down to $1400 US. They also have it for sale on ebay which shows the board. Here is the user selling it.

Matchbook | 194 Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 @Hollywoodcaddy do you need this one? It's not the prettiest looking for its price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,833 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Sigh. So many sellers with a complete disregard for condition. Also, if you own a store I would expect you to be a professional. That means using a method to remove marker that doesn’t involve a belt sander. Sorry. I don’t know if I took away the right message from this post Edited March 24, 2022 by Hammerfestus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywoodcaddy | 72 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I agree....if you own a game store you should know a few proper ways to take care of a rare games needs...knowing the correct way to clean a rare game is a MUST...I personally think that's to high of a price vs condition for that game...but I thank you for posting it...I've always gotten a lot of help collecting games on this site from this community of awesome people...thank you thank you and you guys keep being awesome... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a polymer eraser, like one that will remove charcoal from art paper (white ones) Those and some elbow grease work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they changed their ways, but I saw a store owner once use a nail file of some sort on NES game pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. W's suggestion of the polymer eraser would also work. Those things are like magic (unlike the Magic Eraser.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have varying results using the cover it with dry erase marker and then wipe it off method. Although it’s pretty much the alcohol in the dry erase marker that makes that work so IPA and qtip is probably just as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
