No way am I dropping art-people money on it of course, even CD-i art money, whatever that is. A $5 copy of the game serves me just fine. You know things are getting serious when the ancillary parts of your hobby start attracting serious auction money. I know plenty of NA/VGSers have been hunting these and paying significant amounts of money for years, but these Heritage auctions pretty much guarantee that all casual buyers will be pushed out. Still, I'm glad the artists and their art are finally getting some real recognition. Hopefully they are the ones selling, rather than resellers.

How is that even a question? You open up a 9.2 sealed and now you’ve probably got a 9.2 box, 9.4-9.8 cart, 9.4-9.8 manual. Meaning just taking the wrap off ‘upgrades ‘ it because now the other parts can bring up the average . Assuming the variant is the same there should be no question. Even if the variant is different there’s going to be a scarcity premium on the sealed Edited February 9, 2020 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't make sense if it were the same variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CIB has got a shot. Edited February 10, 2020 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Interesting stuff in this lot... Genesis, GBA, PS1, Xbox games... mixed bags. Also interesting to see CIB stuff. Edit: just spotted their first Sega CD game! Anyway, ... calling this "Bros." Left instead of the commonly used Left "Bros." is almost as annoying as typesetting "Bros." flush left.

You're speaking to the current high bidder on the Nintendo Play Station. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Someone should tell @Laketown04 about the display materials being fair game for HA now, maybe with the right audience he'd get more $$$ than we can muster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres been public rumors about HA selling promos signs and such since PRGE at least. Everyone's known about it but I wasnt believing it until i saw it firsthand. Sort of like the Wata matrix, the Go Collect price guide, the VGA population database, etc. I believe some things only when I see them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhiteJr. | 1,162 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Remember when Atwood posted these like right before the sealed/wata/HA frenzy started. Would have been interesting to see what they would have went for. I think he listed the lot for like $85k but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Any guesses to where the 7.0 CIB white bullet MTPO ends? I had thought about making a run at it, but I just picked up a 7.0 TM Legend of Zelda l, so I'm probably out of the running. I'm interested to see where the CIB hangtab Castlevania ends up. It's at $1850 with two weeks left before it comes up for the live auction. Edited February 20, 2020 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty’s Sticker Mario (or the other gloss seal that I had no idea existed until yesterday) A First Print Zelda (No REV-A, with TM after the NES logo instead of (R) and a first print Mega Man...that is to say it has the Captain Commando Sticker AND the Dr. Wright typo on the back of the box. ...you can probably throw white dot Mike Tyson’s up there now. Honestly that’s a variant I didn’t know about until earlier this year...but new big money gets to decide what’s worth new big money. It will be interesting to see how it affects CIB prices. My sticker seal SMB and TM Zelda didn't come cheap, but it seems like Heritage has a CIB Dr. Wright error Mega Man about once a month. The 7.0 CIB white bullet MTPO is the first one I've seen in a while other than a 5.5 on ebay. Edited February 21, 2020 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
