fcgamer | 4,719 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Just grabbed these today, they are part of the Changhua Storehouse pedigree, @OptOut and others know if this pedigree. Brand new carts, bootlegs of course. I wonder if I could get them wata graded, they look in fantastic condition in terms of how this stuff generally goes.

GPX | 1,369 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 @fcgamer, I’m curious to know.. is there some genuine way you can tell a retro bootleg versus a modern repro of the retro bootleg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must perform a bootleg toilet test. Only way to know for sure is to drop it in your toilet and see if it floats Legit bootlegs are more dense, so they sink right to the bottom.

You might laugh at the pedigree stuff, but I feel the "Changhua Storehouse pedigree" is definitely worthy of this title. So much really, really good condition stuff from the same collection, then there's the vast volume of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's still quite easy. There's been some instances of people trying to fake stuff, but it's quite obvious if you know what you are looking for. It might sound odd to you, that people would be faking old bootlegs, but outside of Japan, the US, and western Europe, the boots are much much more collectable and valuable than the real ones.

acromite53 | 337 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Anyone else think a "legit bootleg" is a funny concept? @fcgamer More info on this Changhua stuff? I'm interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,719 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 @acromite53: I think the guy was in the industry previously, either as a shopkeeper or a manufacturer or something of the like. Maybe he did rentals here? I've gotten from him literally thousands of games spanning from Sega Mark era up through 2000s GBC / GBA games. Everything is generally in really really nice condition, a lot is (according to him) new old stock, even found a proto from him and a few boxes for bootleg games, which id never seen before. This sort of collection definitely screams pedigree to me, due to the general excellent quality and volume of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,397 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The resellers and comic people don't care, so no, this cannot be a pedigree. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,719 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Got some more sealed games, from a different source. Wata, please dammit, flow like wata like you initially said you would, help me get this stuff graded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidaldreams | 654 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 WATA will grade anything and everything under the sun if you pay them. Like CIB games. So the answer is probably yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the case. "We. Grade. EVERYTHING." is an exaggeration at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,091 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I was actually curious about this. I wanted to buy a game from skinny grinny and get it wata graded with the Florida collection on it.....will they just put whatever you want? Or do they somehow verify the title I made up?
