Reseal, PAL games came with "Playstation" tearstrip or unsealed.

#69..... giggity

I bought box protectors and thought that would be the perfect time to update the first post.

Managed to get these really cool titles from a collector who is selling his entire collection. 

Very happy with these, especially R-type.

Really cool collection man!

Thanks for sharing

Congrats! 

Great to see this deal being done with a collector and not some corporate investor.

Congrats on the 100! 

Superb collection man.

Okay the rest I had on order are in!

Some FANTASTIC games here, I am super excited!

This copy of Battle Beaster is a beauty:

Amazing condition copy of Street Fighter III Third Strike:

This Advanced warfare game is REAL tough to find sealed, I'm loving it!

And finally my FAVOURITE game of this bunch, Elemental Gimmick Gear! I've wanted a copy ever since I saw the game shown on an episode of Game Sack, it looks fantastic:

 

So there we are... 2 more till I hit 100! 

I wonder what they will be? 

Awesome collection man!

Love seeing these updates.

The snes didn't have blood in MK1 in the US either. I remember everyone saying snes sucked compared to Genesis solely based on that criteria.

We were saying the exact same thing, being 11 years old in 1992 and thinking we were pretty tough that was a rock solid argument

Mastersystem > Megadrive > SNES > drugs and girls > Xbox > PSP > kids....

Not in the best shape but i belong now to the "Mortal Kombat Sealed  Klan"

Fantastic! Absolutly love MK

Mortal Kombat took all my schooltime, we played on megadrive/genesis because the Snes version didn't have blood here in PAL land. 

+1

I've been collecting sealed PSP games for some while now and pricing seem to be all over the place. Yes there is a decent amount off "rare" games which are usually expensive but most games are available for low prices if you spend some time looking. I think prices will go up as people who were kids when the system came out (2005/2006) are now 15 years older and richer. I think the high piracy level of the system will only add to the value off the games in the future.  

For now i think only a few big name games or extremely limited games like Elminage PAL will have a high value in the future. Personally I dont see it ever getting to NES/SNES levels.

Just want to say this is an awesome thread, really like these obscure variants.

Guess it's US only as i've never seen anything like this here in Europe.

Had a really nice haul this week!

especially happy with the Simpsons game as it was only bundled with the yellow PSP so finding one sealed is quite rare.

My Dreamcast Collecting heart just grew 2 sizes today:

Sealed Sonic in the house!!! 

This is really big for me, I love Sonic, and this is a big boost to my morale for collecting for the system! Gonna put this on prime display in the middle of the collection to inspire me daily on my Dreamcast journey!

Awesome addition!

really cool collection.

There is a saying about a single step being the start of something....

Master system is a great console, good luck on your quest!

@Awoken, do you know how many sealed Pal games exist in sealed tear-strips? It’s not my highest priority, but I also love buying some sealed PSP games every so often. Fun to collect, look nice and doesn’t break the bank!

Nice update, always love the family pics! 

Hard to say because alot of games were available with psp tearstrips and sealed without. Also in Europe alot of stores remove seals because they want to display empty cases. From the info I've gathered so far almost all pal ones were released with the psp tearstrip except alot of bundles and limited editions.

Do you have a thread or pictures of your psp stuff? Love to see it. Psp collectors are a rare breed so it seems.

Found 4 nice additions today. 

Hunting for games has been slow lately because of moving to a new house. Should pick up again from now on.

Found a nice one nevertheless.

My kids are (like their entire generation) obsessed with Minecraft, for them the 360 version was the "original" one so I ordered a sealed version for them to display and keep. 

I got this pal version and it's the first sealed xbox360 game I've ever bought but I've never seen sealed ones without the spine sticker.

Is this a legit sealed version?

I’ve recently moved to a new house and started to unbox my gaming stuff.

I came across my boxed japanese first edition PlayStation scph-1010 controller and thought you might appreciate it.

Not sure if it's brand new but it's in absolute new condition. I've had it for over 15 years and they are really hard to come by in this condition.

Well guys, as I'm getting close to finishing up my N64 set, I decided it's time to dig deep and suck some DDong:

Pretty happy with these, as a first effort, imported directly from Japan. Paid quite a lot, but less than usual eBay so I'm not bankrupting myself. 

Three of these are sealed too, so I know what I'll be sending to @VideoGameGradersLLC for my first order!

If anyone has any of the other four titles I'm missing, I AM on the lookout for those, especially in sealed condition where possible, but obviously I know that at least two of those games are basically unicorns, so keep an eye out for me will you guys? Thanks! 

Awesome condition!
