Fluff | 31 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Let’s get some collection pics going! I’ll start with my favorite subset: pokemon distribution cartridges. This photo isn’t quite up to date for my collection, but you get the picture. This is all the “-USA” region Pokemon distribution cartridges, all undamaged (except dragonite, which if you have an undamaged one please PM me about that!). These definitely vary in rarity, but there does exist a bunch of damaged/snipped cartridges and even some board transplants on ebay for cheaper. The rarest to find (for me) was Shaymin/Regigigas (NTR-Y60E-USA), which is rare even to come by damaged. None of these are quite holy grail rarity though, the print size for north america were more generous then other regions. I’ll try to update with more photos of my collection later!

Skorp | 383 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Very nice dude!! Yeah, Shaymin was the last one for me too. I'd still say it is the rarest out of them rest of them along with Dragonite. I still need to find a Dragonite that isn't damaged. Otherwise, all of mine are clean and original, undamaged. There was a time when some of the USA Pokemon Distributions were pretty much impossible to get, like basically no one had a complete set except one person. Then one eBay seller out of nowhere dumped them I believe last year or 2 years ago with hundreds. Will post pic later on of mine. Still need a couple for EUR though. They are all on eBay, but come with very crazy prices right now, so EUR is definitely very hard to complete right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all on eBay, but come with very crazy prices right now, so EUR is definitely very hard to complete right now. Yea as time went on more of the usa distributions slowly leaked. There were like two or three incidents I remember where a seller dumped a bunch of carts at once. I started collecting like 4 Years ago almost at this point I think, and at that point, meloetta and keldeo carts were pretty common for under 50$, then a few years later someone sold a bunch of those damaged carts, and another seller had a few of each that were almost impossibly rare before (namely secret key and zoroark went from near the top of them all to like the middle, and that’s when I got my Regigigas/Shaymin, which I’m pretty sure I’d never even seen a photo of before). Eur prices are insane. Part of it is I’m from the usa so it’s harder for me to get my hands in them, but also the eur carts seem to leak less, and/or have a lower print run probably too. I have a few Eur nfrs (one is on the photo!) but they are all unorganized and scattered right now. Edited November 13, 2019 by Fluff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 383 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Also just realized you also only have Dragonite damaged as well! Interesting. I haven't seen an original undamaged one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 383 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Here is my favorite NFR collection. It was so difficult to get to this point with all of them being near mint to mint since most of N64 are not in the best condition. Required so much time and effort. Missing a couple still including the 2 very expensive ones out of my budget for now. Also have a one of a kind Mario Golf as well as some super rare variants. Overall, so happy to have come this far. (Not pictured Pokemon Snap Black Box, have it somewhere in storage accidentally ) Edited November 13, 2019 by Skorp 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I think I posted this somewhere else but I might as well post it here too. I'm new to NFR collecting so below is what I have so far. If you couldn't tell I'm going for the Zelda NFRs (just USA for now). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 383 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yeah you did, but definitely great to post it again. What are you going next for Zelda, the N64 ones maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked three times if it does and I haven't gotten a response. So, I suspect it may not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually don’t mind too much about the back labels for my carts personally. I think all the ones in the photo I posted above have them, but a few are def a little damaged. My preference is just that the cart is undamaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's as much of a problem with 3ds carts though, so maybe it'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the one that is $8, yes they all do not have a back sticker. They remove every single one from all their demos. Still, that is a super deal for a NFR especially Zelda related! Edited November 13, 2019 by Skorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluff | 31 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Here is one of the cooler items in my collection! Although I can’t read japanese and have no idea what any of this says, the cart plays a Japanese pokemon ranger demo. It is quite interesting to me that some Japanese demo carts came with a case! I’ve seen a few other floating around but most are pretty expensive. Edited February 22, 2020 by Fluff Misspelled a word 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped going for them as it was just to few to far in-between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alli64 | 1 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Dang I wish this group was still active. I currently have Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team EUR demo, Explorers of Time/Darkness EUR and US demo, Explorers of Sky US demo, and DS Download Station Volume 9. If anyone here any Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Japan demos for sale I'm super committed to buying! Also looking for the Explorers of Sky EUR demo.
