    This was not released in the US and certainly not in longbox form.  To my knowledge a mock up long box doesn’t exist of this like you see for Space Hulk or that one football game.  Like I said, I’ve never seen this before and it’s just a Vidpro card.  I certainly wouldn’t pay close to that.  But umm I also don’t have money 😅

    I see.  Thank you for the explanation.

    I don’t that this would be considered a reasonable price by people that spend that kind of money but something I don’t know that I’ve encountered before and I didn’t know a better place to share this

    Why is this worth so much exactly?

  3. I would say trim down the collection now while you are still feeling somewhat better.  Put the money in a trust for your nieces.  With these interest rates it will grow quite nicely until they are ready to use/need the money.  Of course keep the sentimental stuff and Everdrives still so you can play the games you want.  Just my two cents.

    Most copies do not come with the bonus puzzle.

    I have one sealed copy of this variant and it has a sticker on the seal:

    And an alternate UPC code sticker over the back seal too:

    I assume it’s a retail exclusive variant but to date I haven’t been able to track down any more info than that.

    I see.  Thanks for the info.

    I'm not really into cards any more, but I assume that when the card grading companies really started focusing on how centered cards were, that's when they were trying to increase scarcity of 10s.

    I really don't know the history of grade values and overall populations, but if there was a glut period of people no longer submitting cards, it would make sense for the graders to want to shake things up a bit and make "pristine" 10s even harder to come by.

    When I hear someone say they thought they had a "perfect" card, my assumption is that the grader took out some type of micro measuring tool, and found that the card wasn't perfectly centered by 1/10th of a millimeter or something like that.

    It wouldn't surprise me if that have quotas, or rather, they set limits to how many 10s they let out the door for a given day/week.   By limiting that number, people are more inclined to submit cards because it really is a gamble to see how good your card will grade.  

    In the end it is still a human deciding so there are always be variances.  I've seen plenty of tens with minor marks on them.  And I have seen 8s that I can not find a single flaw in.

    I looked over that card with a 10x magnifier…it was tough to find a flaw. Bottom border cut might have been the knock.

    What do you use to look for flaws?  Microscope?  I picked up a Topps Jete Gold Rookie for $10 recently.  Want to give it a close look for any flaws.  Might get it graded.

    Wondering what you wanted for your Phillips cdi.  I'm sorry this isn't a pm, my inbox is full and can't send a pm.
     

    Oh I see.  Sorry but that CDI system is long gone.  It sold for my asking price.
