Gulag Joe | 582 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The population growth rate for NES Al Unser Jr’s Turbo Racing was very slow, just like many professional video game collectors anticipated. Rest assured, they won’t be finding any pallets of that title anytime soon because they don’t exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 582 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Even more unsurprising among professional video game collectors was that there was only one 9.8 A++ Super Mario 64 added to the list. That leaves a grand total of 3 in existence. Rare indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys all wear patagonia vests, like investor bros? Is the professional video game collectors guild taking applications? Not sure I could handle the sheer amount of wata fellating required, but I will do my best. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be a professional video game collector. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khromak | 768 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I assume professional video game collectors get paid to astroturf on video game forums about sealed gaming companies and graded game prices. Maybe they get paid in acrylic cases or trident gum, or maybe cold hard cash. Who could tell, I haven't been invited to the cool kids club yet because I open my video games and play them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbfan10 | 340 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Nice, my 9.6/A+ Super Black Bass for SNES is the only made in Japan graded, which seems to be a rare first print to find. Still at WATA but should be back very soon. Also my Motocross Maniacs 2 for GBC is a 1/1 for now. All-Star Baseball '99 GB is another 1/1 Edited August 17, 2022 by mlbfan10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the thing about it... it was never that SM 64 at that grade was a dime a dozen, but that many more highly historical games should have been at the top of the bidding wars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not be a “professional” game collector, but I do have a PHD in game collecting as well as a current certification from the Video game certification licensing board (good through 2030) so I outrank you not only in classification, but also collection quality (and value). Professional game collectors are like the dental hygienists, and those with a PHD are like the dentists. So show some respect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the thing about it... it was never that SM 64 at that grade was a dime a dozen, but that many more highly historical games should have been at the top of the bidding wars. Well, there are no known sealed SMB mattes, and the highest graded gloss would very likely end significantly above where the Mario 64 ended. How many NES games in top grade should end above a top Mario 64? Mario and Zelda top grade earlier print, definitely. Past that? I'm not really sure tbh. There's also a single 9.8/A++ early print Sonic that I think could top a million. Many consider Mario 64 the single greatest video game ever created, so I think the very top grade collectible should probably be in the top 5. Note, I'm speaking in relative terms of where I think a top grade Mario 64 should be in the echelon, not commenting on how much I think it should have gone for. But I think long term, top grade Mario 64s will be near the very top of the ladder for video game collectibles.

Gulag Joe | 582 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I was promised pallets of sm64 9.8 A++ games by all the video game media people and a few on here. Where are the pallets? I want my pallets, Nostradomi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should lose the arrogance, bud. It's only going to end poorly for you. I love when people as yourself toss out statements such as "only one known to exist", "pallets don't exist" and the like. It's all bogus, things are still turning up even now, twenty, thirty, forty years past the creation of this stuff. So enough with the willful misleading hype, please. I would be more surprised if there weren't more major earthshattering sealed finds within the next ten years. Not speaking out my ass here either, rather speaking from patterns that I have followed regarding this stuff for just shy of 25 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably speedrunners. Just because it has lots of cool movement tricks to learn, and has both beginner and advanced categories categorizes for speedrunning, so it overall is very well set up for that sort of thing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inasuma | 1,203 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The seal ratings help a lot. I have a handful of pop 1 highest grades. 9.8 A+ MMBN2 + 9.6 A++ MM&B I'm also surprised to learn my Majesco reprint of MMX is a pretty high grade relative to what's out there (9.4 A++). Only one corrected NES code of the same grade, and 3 higher of the current variant. And possibly most important of all, my 1 of 55 (9.8 A++) Gauntlet Legends, also known as the rarest sealed game ever (obviously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
