can somebody educate me on the story behind magical chase?

NOT RARE:
Magical POP'n

I agree with all of this post, but this.... Whaaaaa? Took me forever to get this game.

I was also thinking. It probably doesn't matter anyway how rare or expensive it is. With the advances in 3D Printing in the last few years i'm surprised people are not printing out reproduction casings and selling these on ebay. Probably wont be long before you can print the whole thing up, PCB included at home and play it on a actual system.

Lol, you apparently have never been on NintendoAge.  That place is hilarious because so many people are worried about others making repros of released games and reducing the value of their "legit" items.  Making a basic repro to fool like someone on Craigslist isn't too bad, but making something that plays and has all the hallmarks of a true original takes a lot of work.  HuCards will probably be the last to have boots made of them, mainly because of how they were manufactured.

Games like Magical Chase are making it worth the effort. You can bet it's on a booter's radar.

I'm a member there. But been awhile. I can't wait till I can print up a cope of lil Sampson.

Once huey's become bootlegged, they are going to be extremely problematic. If you open a bootleg NES, SNES, or other cartridge, it should always be fairly obvious. Mask ROMs and perfect replica PCBs are hard to fake. There is no way to take apart a hucard to verify it's authenticity. If they master the outside look of the huey,  it will be near impossible to determine authenticity.

I think some of the artwork on the card will be a giveaway.  Simple ones like Worold Class Baseball ect wont but onces like MC or Leg Axe II might be.

Who knows, we shall see......

While technically possible to make a perfect reproduction (what was done once can always be done again.... except for losing your virginity), there'd likely always be some small detail off.  Like the Sapphire booties: there's several ways (some obvious, some more subtle) to tell 'em apart from the real deal.

I think as retro video game bootlegs get better and better, closer to the originals it eventually will cause a crash in the market. I think hucards will be one of the last platforms to be bootlegged though, we're still a long way off making replica hucards.

I know, it'll be great and I can't wait for it to happen! 

Cheapo Magical Chases and Coryoon's everywhere!

Since the market is based on b.s., it will unfortunately be the opposite. As with Sapphire, nu-collectors will treat the bootlegs as low-print-run collectibles and flip them for hundreds of dollars and use them as further fuel to justify the even higher prices of the "first print" version.

The market is doomed to crash to a certain extent at some point, but bootlegs only broaden it in the meantime for people who are valuing perceived rarities and are not concerned with the games themselves.

The Sapphire bootleg flippers are merely providing an archival service, so that you don't wear out your original manual and case insert.
