Ad hominem. He brings up valid points.

Not mine, but they were posted publicly years ago. I figure it's fair game to post them around.

https://www.ebay.com/usr/nostalgic80 Nice stuff! I think that specific 5-Screw R.C. Pro-Am was the first one ever discovered back in the NA days. Here's a pre-grading photo I have of it.

VGS rare variant/error thread Nintendo edition
ThePhleo replied to Hybrid's topic in General Collecting Discussion
Thanks, I'll revisit the screw variants and likely end up updating it to a R9. Also, something no one pointed out is why I bothered adding Anticipation, Donkey Kong Classics, Ice Hockey, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Team Games, and Zelda II to the "Does Not Exist?" category. Those are in there because other 1988 first party titles have been found to have documented 5-Screw variants (R.C. Pro-Am, SMB/DH/WCTM, and the rumored SMB/DH) -

Pretty sure Rollerblade Racer has the same crappy foam. -

@Code Monkey I agree, but to a degree. Extreme errors should be their own little neat category, and well...it *is* the "Rare Variant & Error" thread. Variant guys like me just ignore errors...but there's merit in tracking errors, because if enough of that exact error pop up then it's a legitimate variant (see Atari people with upside down labels, or even Kid Niki SoQ splotch error) -

I can confirm that my copy also has this harder, more "crap quality" foam? I mean, it's styrofoam at the end of the day, but something about it just feels of lesser quality. -

Dang, I knew I forgot something! Yes...jaws is pretty darn rare. We're also going though a glut of Super Pitfall's for some reason. Maybe it's time to demote it to R7 status (basically ignorable status) Edit: There. I fixed it. -

It's a gem rarity of a gem rarity. In my opinion, If 3 Screw Stadium Events is a 5 Carat FL/IF D Quality Diamond, then the 5-screw is a 5 Carat FL/IF D Quality Canary or Pink diamond Edit: Basically, it's not about relativistic rarity anyway. Overall, 5-Screw Stadium Events is just as available as 3-Screw DK Math...less than a handful exist. -

Also, here's the 3-Screw Gumshoe photos I have. They appear to be two different copies, notice the blurry one doesn't have that smudge to the left of the SoQ, granted it's blurry. *Edit: Found a second photo in my drive, with the rear photo. -

I have a much clearer photo of that exact sale, and the other two photos that go with it. It has the same hallmark of all known 3-Screw DK Math being refurbs too (No stamp code on the rear label), so with that said I still don't know why 3-Screw Donkey Kong Jr. Math counts if this cart doesn't. -

Castlevania 3 wasn't mine, but I think it was discovered right before NA went down and I never had time to save it. Blades of Steel is in fact based off of the recent sale, and despite the top label being total crap...it seems authentic.
