Sweet baby jesus, I need to stop googling oddball NES stuff. The vein in my forehead can be seen from space after reading this thread. AGCI Wally Bear is a proto. I know this because I owned one. If you're going to put it on a best of list, then add every other proto with differences. Only one of those protos had a label, and it was falling off. Mine was blank. If neither had a label, you wouldn't even be considering it. Holy fuck, come on now. The what ifs around Sharedata Chiller are worse. You don't know, period, take it off the list. Again, no label and it wouldn't be in the conversation. Little Samson and Flintstones 2 are not #2 and #3 because you have OMGRARE bias. 2 decades of circle jerking, the Blockbuster bullshit with Flintstones and pictures like this have influenced the perception of both games incorrectly. The sad part is there's a significant chance some of the winners in that pic posted in this thread. Fml. It gets worse with games from other regions. As mentioned in this thread, Americans shouldn't really make any determinations of "rare" or "hard to find" when they don't live in those regions. You have tunnel vision that you can't cure. On top of all this, rarity lists do not matter, period. They are all wrong. All of them. What matter is price. "oh my should I buy this game which is a R5 or this one is the R7 oh ho ho, clearly the R7, excuse me while I drink my lavender rooibos earl grey hyrbid tea with my pinkie extended". Fuck that. No one is doing that. What they're doing is looking at the price. Game X is $20 over going rate and Game Y is $20 under. You buy the one priced under. X is beat to shit and Y is not. Do you care about condition? Then you go with the Y. Or you buy the game you're actually going to play. Or even want to own the most. The only way rarity should be a consideration is after all other things have been considered and it at that point, the inaccuracy of whatever list you are referencing makes referring to rarity useless. The ironic thing is, at least as far as licensed goes price-wise, because lol you goobers killed unlicensed collecting, is Little Samson and Flintstones 2 are #2 and #3. Damage's been done, which makes me glad reality mutually-assured-destruction'd the original NA.

Mission accomplished. Cavern, we're done here.

You might be the real OSG. You also might be the real OSG. Imcinfused.

Is this the real OSG or the one who liked NA? Because they have to be different people.

But seriously, if Pat actually comes on here, tell him if he advertises this NFT on his pod channel tube and it sells, I'll split the proceeds with him. Also tell him that clawx has questions for him that he never answered a decade ago when they were both on playthenes. I want to see those questions answered, damnit.

Btw, if anyone reading this has some crypto to burn, have I got a deal for you! https://mintable.app/art/item/The-Stainman---The-Most-Incredible-Human-Art-Ever-Made-Who-Is-Stainman-You-Must-Enter-the-World-of-Stainman-To-Find-Out/QlBBJGK5PsG6pTR

Guess I shouldn't have emailed Seth Abramson 2 days ago. Oops.

Reading something like this, I am reminded of this article which pretty much sums up NES collecting to a T and its progression over the past two decades. https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths After reading the quote above, superNESman is a true sociopath. Wow.

And seriously if I could fly a fighter jet into NA to kill it, I would oh wait someone already did that and paid for the privilege nevermind. This is a guy who clearly doesn't remember me posting on NA a decade ago. Or posting when NA was in its death throes. Or pretty much any time anyone mentioned NA to me online or in public. Or posting anywhere online. Moving on. Oh believe me, I have been furiously masturb... ... furiously masturbating to all of this Wata nonsense. I've been told you can see my erection from space now. It's glorious. If things keep turning up Milhouse for me, I'm going to literally become Milhouse. Which is fine because yet another incredibly stupid thing about game collecting now is literal Pogs. You know, Shantae Pogs. It's like watching a cartoon of game collecting by the guys who did ATHF. So those will go with the Alf pogs. Jokes aside (this will be difficult but I will try), anyone who remembers me knows my disdain for VGA and yes, it went tenfold for Wata, which is still one of the dumbest names I have ever encountered. When I heard they were grading open games, I knew the dam was breaking. Being as I'd rather shoot myself in the head then try and make some sort of public presence (ala Pat... it was possible as I had the patented Wall of Games trick to sit in front of and can curse uncontrollably), I just watched instead of trying to fight it. It's impressive to me that superNESman and cohorts managed to create something that feels dirtier than VGA ever did... and now is being proven as actually dirty. How do you make VGA look like the good guy in all of this? I honestly don't know if there is a rift between this site and the actors who constitute the Wata grift, but I hope there is. With Abramson involved, I would not want any connection to this boondoggle in the slightest. I have been around, not here... oh no not here.... but I've been around. I've largely slowed to a crawl with collecting because I have everything I could want, prices are lol and I have kids. What's that? No one cares? Correct answer, former NA, correct answer. @Dain Hey man. I know why you're posting but I would not. I do hope all is well with you though and that this shit, wherever it goes, keeps you out of it. So in summation: Claw is a centaur; his dad is a horse. Watajoke. I still think the lot of you are twits.
