Right, the non revision sleeve version came with launch day systems. I want to say there are at least 3 or 4 sleeve revisions.

That Mega Man II one is very tempting.

I'm finally back with a new unboxing video and this week we got a big one. I open a sealed Final Fantasy X for the PS2.
 

Been like this for awhile. People who can't afford sealed games want the next best thing which is a 100% CIB mint game. The TMNT games are going up most likely due to the Cowabunga Collection.

I wonder if that's just on the shrinkwrap? If so it's an easy fix.

Box was badly crushed so decided to expose it to the open air:

Welcome to the club. You should be able to fix that box as well.

Controllers from all generations are pretty easy to take apart and fix given you can find the parts. Joy cons are a bitch though so congrats

All are easy to take apart but some are a pain to put back together. I'm looking at you first gen PS3 controllers.

Fixed a 360 controller with a broken right stick.



Had to buy some replacements sticks online. Note that the potentiometers on them are terrible with lots of dead zone so be sure to keep the original pots.

All cleaned up.

As long as it works who cares what it looks like inside. Be sure to take pics of the repair though if you plan to sell it.

I agree, Retrobird is a quality channel and he's growing pretty fast. Great videos on topics that we've all thought about.

In this weeks video I unbox a launch day SNES from 1991. It made alot of kids happy to see this under the tree 30 years ago.
 

The corrosion on this Wii Remote board was pretty bad. I couldn't get it to work.

Yeah Roundball is tougher than people think.  Feels like that should be a minimum $250 game in halfway decent shape, but before this pop report nonsense you probably couldn't have even sold for $150.

I bought a sealed one a few years for around $90 and I thought I overpaid for that.

Roundball seems like it's actually uncommon though. It was a late release sports game which means it probably didn't sell many copies and no one cares about it. Either that or people have multiple copies buried in their collection and just assume it's not worth listing.

Definitely not worth $1,000 though. Not even close.

Another one...I guess having 0 on the Pop report automatically means it's rare and expensive now.

you mean the one that ended early? apparently someone bought out all the seller's sealed games he had listed.

Investors strike again.

Not bad at all, the pins were dirty but it's all incased inside.

Before:






After:

I would just keep the game ungraded and left inside the box. Makes it complete.

@Jeevan@drxandyThank you both!

I'd take a page out of your book and want to relive some memories.  I'd crack open every one of those *ON CAMERA* no less HD resolution and throw it up on youtube. Video and game after video and game.  I'd enjoy soaking in all the people losing their shit how much money was thrown into the shredder taking swings at my so called selfishness, epic stupidity, lack of making a payoff of a house, wanting to find and end me, etc.... the usual entitlement stuff.

I'm waiting for the day when I get comments like that on my videos.

Those would have been opened so damn quick.  Fuck gloves and that bullshit.  I literally would've taken that knife and opened the shit out of them.  Most of them are still needed for the sealed list...maybe all of them (I honestly haven't even looked in ages)

Final Fantasy, SMB 3, Balloon Fight, Ms. Pac-Man (Tengen), and Tetris are all needed. I would totally open those to if I got a great deal on them.
