I suggest having it unplugged unless you're doing a backup. Hmm, yeah those things are the one thing that keep me up at night. I have an irrational fear of there being a “timed” version of those kind of viruses that basically wait months or even a year to manifest themselves.

ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Another $10 gone, and another photo added to the archive! Keep them coming guys. I hate money and love NWC photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I sense a disturbance and in the force, as if approximately 267 (well....subtract 26 for gold) Nintendo World Championship cartridges are still unaccounted for and people just don’t want my money to prove they exist. ... Rare tendo tape pics in my DMs please. Will pay cash. Edited September 16, 2020 by ThePhleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snesmaster | 17 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) I have been collecting photos of these whenever I have seen one since 2002. I don't have any of the numbers you are missing, but I may have some photos you don't have. Let me know the best way to get them to you, and if you get some new photos feel free to throw however much you feel is fair my way.

Nickfraun | 12 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Saw this pop up on a FB group. Figured you could reach out. He says it was untracked. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 And @Archon 1981 claims the next $100! Im gonna update the list as soon as I get home. We’re approaching the fabled “90” copies and I think it’s time to put that rumor to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I was going to post that one when I saw Pat's video on it this morning. I figured someone would get to it before me. Pat shows a much closer photo of it in his video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xjwebb1982 | 50 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 #105 coming up for auction. HA posts nice high resolution photos so may be worth grabbing the two they have posted. Wish I could see the top label. The back of WATA label also notes that a tab is broken. https://comics.ha.com/itm/video-games/nintendo-world-championships-1990-grey-wata-50-cart-nes-nintendo-1990-usa/p/7236-53004.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this cart has one strange, but funny picture associated with it. Some dude posed with the cart on his hairy nipple with it....keep this photo in mind, whoever buys it :V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Updated. Thanks again @Archon 1981 93.333% of the "90" that exist are now documented....why the hell would Nintendo number them #0001 - #0350 (or 0400) if they only made 90? hmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is the source for that? Maybe it's close but not perfect. I find it hard to believe over 90% have been discovered. That's not challenging your work, or others, it just feels like probably a lot more of these might have been lost with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I make joke I just hate that number so much that I sort of adopt the persona of that which I’m trying to kill. Theres definitely either 350 or 400. There’s no way 90%+ survived. When we hit 91 I am still gonna include the “90” number in my %discovered chart. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a gambling problem and since you work here, you legally can't buy more tickets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjistar | 517 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Are the photos you have of #0348 the ones I watermarked and posted to NintendoAge? I still have the unaltered originals of those somewhere if you're interested. I'd also like to see what photos you have of the copy I own (#0165) as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
