  1. One of my favorite photos and NES sub sets. The silver box games were all so significant and had such a small timeframe. They look beautiful in their original form and are some of my favorites
  2. Nobunaga’s Ambition II for the NES. Look at the artwork! One of my favorites
  3. A nice little cardboard hangtab. I think Sly Hunter and Skykid were the two Sunsoft hangtab games.
  4. A fun little “square” set for the NES. I need to spend a little more time on this forum….makes me get the feels from back in the good old days
  5. Years and years of patience to get this far. Almost completely NES, but a few oddball systems and games as well. Nearing 550 sealed unique NES titles.
  6. I love this one. I haven’t seen a legit h-seam Elevator Action go up for sale for at least 5 or so years.
  7. Interesting. Kudos for selling both VGA and WATA. A lot of the old timers have quite a build of VGA games and don't want to spend the money to cross. Looking forward to the first auction of games.
  8. The silver box set is definitely one of the most iconic! :)
  9. It has the typical box wave with the late releases. No jewel case, so the wrap squeezes the box pretty good. But it’s very nice overall :)
  10. Finally able to track down a copy of a life long TG16 want. Magical Chase
  11. A very hard to find game for the NES sealed. Super Cars :)!
  12. I think it’s time to start sharing some collection games in the “old school” fashion. I need to spend more time on this site. Anyhoo, here is the sealed set of NES light gun games made for the system minus unlicensed. Enjoy
  13. A later print because it’s more uncommon?!? There are less than 20 round seals sealed....total.....in any variant.....cardboard hangtab or not.....there are literally hundreds of oval seals......they were about $600 less than two years ago.....I’m all about rarity.....but to say oval is even in the same universe as round seal is a joke...
  14. Hello everyone, This week, I’ve been going through some of my sealed stuff and have two NES games with some cloudy oxidation on the shrink wrap. One of the games is quite pricey, and was wondering if any of you have ever used, or know of, a product that can remove or lessen the oxidation without damaging the wrap? Help please!
  15. I’m glad Ark is finally back :).......took you long enough!
  16. I had a similar problem last night. Found out my username is whatever your email address is w/o the @yahoo/gmail etc. Somewhat of a pain, but figured it out.
  17. Ahhh, yes....I forgot about Metal Slug 1.....that would fetch a pretty penny.
  18. I can’t think of any AES title that would cost over 100k.....but maybe I’ve been away from serious NeoGeo for a bit.
  19. I would always, 100% rather have the seal....even if it was halfway ripped off....and I have one or two of those. That being said, I agree w/Jone in that there is some appeal. For me it is the new and untouched contents that are the appeal. But yes, something such as “brand new” does sound a little more appropriate and straightforward than “NS”.
  20. I would agree with hyrulevyse. Two different grading systems (so apples to oranges), but an 85 usually crosses to 9.2-9.4 A-A+. Not always though....VGA is VERY strict on wrap. You could have 8 sharp corners, but a flawed wrap, and grade out at a 70-75. That same game could crossover at WATA to a 9.4 B as they have completely different systems. If wrap is important to you, look for 85+ from VGA and you will have, for the most part a mint game. Look for 9.2 or higher and A+-A++ for a mint WATA game. If you want pristine, look for 90-100 on VGA and 9.6-9.8 A+-A++ for WATA
  21. I agree, but that Kung Fu Heroes round seal has been tough for years now. There was one 85+ about 1-2 years ago and the rest of them were beat up copies. It’s a beautiful piece of art work and an early third party title that has run fairly dry. I can confirm the copy that he spoke of is in a private collection and not being re-sold. Sigh....collecting is becoming so much more complicated
  22. Interesting to see how much our beloved hobby has changed in the past decade. As the title above states, lately, with the addition of WATA and Heritage/Certified Link auctions, along with what has become regular CIB grading, it finally seems to be here to stay (the grading portion). I remember for years the debate on grading, all of the back and forth between keeping them raw, or preserving them (even opening them to play)....the subjective nature of the grading itself.....yet, despite all of the back and forth.....it appears as though it has become the newest grading normality (CGC, PSA, VGA, WATA etc.) and is more active than ever. And for the record, although I love the display look of graded games, I still have a few hundred raw and enjoy those just as much. Grading is here to stay.....the tidal wave has been upon us for some time....and if nothing else....it has changed the hobby drastically.
  23. I have seen some very “well done” fakes in the past 15 or so years....and yes, they may look good on eBay or forum sites, but in hand, it is quite simple to be able to spot a game that is “faked”. There are way too many variables to get right, many of which seasoned collectors don’t really share with the collector community. I don’t think it can be done....and yes, I’m quite aware of counterfeit cards, comic books that have been restored and even coins.....games are just that difficult.....at least when it comes to the older NES/SNES/64 games.
