Tulpa | 3,445 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Doesn't matter. I could list a shitty MLB NES cart on eBay for a million. When one actually sells for that amount, we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo | 2,179 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) That label has been moved around a couple times in its lifetime... hmm. (psst: never buy NWC gold for a single penny above NWC grey price)....(actually, NWC grey circuit board price....there are some REALLY high def "label" scans out there for NWC gold) Edited June 24, 2020 by ThePhleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that all NWC golds, regardless of provenance should be held to extreme standards of scrutiny. There's absolutely zero way to verify that any known NWC gold is not sacrificed NWC grey without a shadow of a doubt. Even the ones that went through Jason's / DreamTR's hands can't be verified unless he has high definition photos of every copy he had. Photos in high quality can prove a record leading up to him by pointing out simple flaws, scuffs, and scratches. Anyone that bought any of his copies (or subsequent owners next in line) could easily forge a gold with any NWC grey and keep the real one for themselves. NWC Gold should never be considered safe, under any circumstance. The only solace there is, is knowing that a lot of these things were gathered at a time when Nintendo collecting was still a weird and geeky thing to do with little to no money involved in the hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,084 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Ah, good old Nick Morgan. He got his from Adam Harvey (buyatari) for like $5000 or something like that in 2008... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never thought about it in that kind of level but yeah, you’re pretty on the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.G. CIB | 414 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Nick made a fake label for someone..... can’t remember their name on NA (replicating the label from his copy). The guy claimed when he sold it he removed the label. It was all on NA. Either way too easy to fake so I would pass.
