Cool, sent you a PM!

Do you still have the Zelda vinyl?

Hey Everyone!!

I was once given a Chrono Trigger DS store promotional poster, which was essentially a blow-up of the label art (below) on thick, almost card stock paper. This was at a Hollywood Video probably back in 2008. Unfortunately, it got destroyed in a move.

If anyone has one they would be willing to part with, please let me know. It means a lot to me, as I am sure there are a few things in each of your collections that mean something special, this was one of those things for me - right up there with my games that still have my name written in mother's handwriting.

My most sincere thanks!

Hey everyone,

  Yep! I managed to relist it. I'm dealing with move from Miami to Wisconsin, so it's been taking me a little while to respond.

Is there a reason you don't turbo warp this thing to WATA? With the risk of a low grade gone you'll increase your high-end buyer pool significantly. 

Hey everyone, sorry had a busy week on call! 

I am definitely thinking of grading it. To be honest I don't really like the idea of grading, but I understand why it exists.

Wow, that's an amazing level of detail! Thank you for updating us!

I was thinking exactly that. I worked so hard to keep it perfect, and it needs to stay that way. I’d be willing to drive in state, but typically would ask the buyer to fly in and would calculate their travel cost, and subtract it from the sale. on the plus side, South Florida is pretty nice this time of year 

I know what you mean, I think about opening it and staring at it at least once a week.
I cured that with a nice complete copy that I can open and pop into my GBC for good times.

Also, your calculations may be off since the second picture has some fisheye lensing going on. I bet if you opened up the lens correction tool in photoshop you'd get even more precise results.

Excellent point! I'll have to try the same assessment in photoshop and get better at it.

Hey everyone,

  I had no idea VideoGameSage existed until recently. I was a member of NintendoAge for a while, was super into videogamevinyl and chiptunes, even did some chiptune DJ'ing for a bit. 

  Collecting, trading, buying/selling video games has been my longest running hobby in life, and it is nice to be back in this community. I really appreciate all of the work that went into making this website look great.

 Looking forward to fun times!

It is very hard to fake the wear I see in the pic.

The front bend has cracks and there is usually a gradient of light wear/fading starting at the top from sitting on a rack or shelf.

Also (pics below), the ratio between the image boundaries shifted on the label and the total width of the label closely matches up:

Image 1: small red : big red is .035

Image 2: small green (added together): big red is .032

Well, I just followed eBay and picked something closer to the high end of what was listed, and it seems like some really nice copies sold for close to this amount.

One thing to note is the colors on this copy. It has little to no fading since '98. I keep it in a little box, padded, and have wrapped the box in aluminum since I got it (guy I got it from told me he did the same).

How about we change it from burn in to "Digital Patina"?

I think it's awesome to see.

Thanks for the advice, I'll work on it!

I'm so sorry for your loss. May all of our VG heroes be with you and with Mrs. Tabonga.

Amazing. Really great work and I hope you get top dollar for this!
