Heya guys! I bought a lot on Facebook that clearly had this Dolphin Atari 2600 cartridge in it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175475238611?hash=item28db23a6d3:g:gN4AAOSwEuZjSP8H&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoA67clgkRSrcwCTnAQ%2F%2F8EjmLsAyyZ%2FiW30q%2FPkWYbug0UIMg90osOpFc9g1QAnDJ4jYdRHBRwOiFXZFIv16mImLCotXja8jMbAeQZZAGUCbJBM7GaSF60QRrgTA1nraw6wjzTqlHPiA6dKahoo8dlFHhhtJ0x7IrzR5d7XCMFruSu6MMkueo%2FJjI%2FXsF86tOtz6MxTByoK94l%2FzLc9WpxU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_jj3e6LYQ However the seller was incredibly nice to me(like almost too nice) and sent me the Atari 2600 lot without asking for payment, and told me to pay after I got the lot which is pretty incredible. However when I got the lot the Dolphin prototype was missing. It's been a very suspicious dealing and that is the exact same one in that Ebay auction with the blue circle on the end label. I did however find this in one that was in the lot, and it's Plaque Attack. Edit: Ok, thank you confirmed this is indeed a prototype. The rabbit hole here goes wayyyy deeper. Will update with more info once I get it. There is actually hope I can recover the Dolphin proto!

I've been on the hunt for a while now for PAL exclusive NES games, but I haven't really found a good option except stuff like Ebay.de Is there a forum or place where people exclusively trade this kind of stuff? I remember PALrocks. but I don't think that forum is around anymore. Currently on the hunt for a Mario Bros Classic Serie CIB and a Fester's Quest PAL CIB. It's been trickier than I thought trying to find CIBs like this! Any tips?

What is something like this worth? The only ones I can find claim to be NIB, but are just decent looking CIBs. This thing smells as fresh as 1984, and I can confirm the lady who sold it to me bought it as a gift and it was stored in the attic unused since then. It's brand new never used not even once!

I own every single one nes and snes. I'm a sucker for these!

Mega long overdue bump!

What is something like this worth nowadays?

Man, whenever I see Thrilla's Surfari I image Thrilla Gorilla himself grinding on the cartridge.

Looking for that thread that had a list of all the NWCs known to exist by number. Anyone remember who was keeping track of it, or where it is?

I think the issue here is there is a market for graded items, but the problem is people perverting or using it for illicit reasons which is when history quickly repeats itself. Anyone remember VGA? https://www.nintendoplayer.com/feature/vga/
