ApebitMusic | 129 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Hey guys, readying a submission to GCG and trying to narrow it down. Don't want to spend a fortune at the moment so trying to decide on 5 games to get graded. Out of these which 5 would you get graded? I'm thinking mostly based on value but if you want to share a "personal taste" aspect I'm all for it.. these are all games I love!! These are all SEALED: NES: Tecmo Bowl (white oval seal) Metroid (white oval seal) Double Dribble (black circle seal) Blaster Master (white oval seal) Blades of Steel (white oval seal) Batman(white oval seal) Double Dragon II (suuuper nice high grade, methinks!) Castlevania III ("Win a trip" version) Hydlide (ok probably not gonna be a pick, let's be honest). haha Goonies II (white circle seal. This one might be a slightly lower grade, not bad though) SNES: Super Metroid GENESIS: Phantasy Star IV GB: Metroid II (reeaally nice!) GBA: Ninja Five-O Edited April 6, 2023 by ApebitMusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApebitMusic | 129 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'm expecting/hoping/will be extremely disappointed if @DefaultGen doesn't chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair, this is subjective. I'd prefer those games but if one was in fair condition and might get a grade of, say, 8.5 and another might get a 9.8, then I'd probably go with the one with a chance at 9.8+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,395 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I think I've seen enough Heritage Auction results to know that TECMO BOWL is the million dollar game there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,395 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I mean seriously all of those are pretty nice games. I even like Hydlide a historical JRPG relic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this statement officially endorsed by the RGM? For my part, I won't speak to value because I have no idea what's the latest buzz in the investing sphere, but from a personal taste perspective, I'd go with Castlevania III, Phantasy Star IV, Super Metroid, Metroid, and Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faxanadu, Shadowgate, Code Name Viper, Crystalis (not the greatest shape) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulag Joe | 582 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Tecmo, Metroid, double dribble, double dragon, Metroid GB are you planning on selling any of the returns? If not, maybe include one you could part with to help with the costs, unless they’re all sacred to you then I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
