Those are pretty neat.  Cant believe they left the power to that console on this whole time!

Easy way to make a lot of money fast. Will not be surprised to soon see many more rare promo items surface on eBay.

With zero provenance I honestly wouldn't pay a dime for either of those.

I'm with zeta. It would not be difficult nor expensive to fabricate those.

Yup, that's why I kept my bids low.
If I won the hucard holder thing, I was going to raffle it off here.

This looks like someone just went to a local trophy store and asked for a plexiglass box and the cheapest engraving possible.  I mean a Keith Courage game in a stupid block?  How are people falling for this shit?

If it is real, I would love to have one. However, I am not willing to spend $$$ on anything. Especially unverified stuff.

Not to worry. I'm sure the next one that is "found" will be VGA graded with a BIN of $5K.

Huh. The system piece is neat, if real. I'm not Columbo or anything but if you look at the pic of the underside of the plaque, it does look like some pretty old glue.

I thought exactly the same thing. Though less eloquently.

A former poster on this site DreamTR was at one point in possession of the first off the production line TurboGrafx16. Depending on the history of this item, I wouldn't be surprised if this were real.

Too bad the turbo list archive is down, I am pretty sure he was active on there 15 years ago.  He programmed a Pac Man clone in HuC called Krunch back around 2000...
