Seriously?



There is probably some 30 something nerd somewhere still in tears because his mom cleaned up his room/basement and threw out his 'old' Nintendo games.

Hamm wished her well and, before she left, asked if he could take a picture of the rarest item ever to come through his door. "I felt honored just to hold it," he said.

"It's given people a lot of hope," Hamm said, referring to this thread on the Nintendo Age forums. "People say that they never find anything at their Goodwill, well, the holy grail has been found there."

"I felt honored just to hold it," said the man sitting on a stack of CIB TG-16 Magical Chases.

It's sad that the "holy grail" for true video game collectors has so little value as an actual game.

No shit. At least Magical Chase is actually a good game. :)

He's a "collector". Stupidity is inevitable.
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

It's much worse, he's the kind of guy who flips game for profit and whose collection consists of his current stock. His passion is price inflation, not video games.

See my signature below,  :D

The answer is simple.  Game "collectors" are a$$holes
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!
