I'll be interested to see whether or not either of those two clowns ever post here again.

They may not, but they may browse the sale sections and look for noobs posting about wanting to buy games, and drop them pms. This is why they need to be banned outright, as opposed to being allowed to lurk here still.

Another thing regarding inserts:

These new people who are getting into TG-16...like every single day there is a new guy who played one TG-16 game in 1989 and now, like a Manchurian Candidate freshly activated, suddenly needs to own every single game made for it...those guys...they don't keep their stuff very long, you know? The shit gets dumped and regouged really quick. So quick in fact that a buyer may re-sell his game before it's even arrived in the mail from the guy that sold it to him! Remember that one f*ck that had a complete US collection, sold it all, and then completed it again? What are the chances that guy still has any of it still? When you collect like a damned vacuum cleaner some details are likely to be missed. He wasn't opening or playing the stuff of anything. How would he know?

Now, it's established that these guys knew what they were doing, but unless the inserts are really obviously different it's for sure that a few copies of the game will be converted to "original CD with reprint back insert" to "original" at some point. The guy that got scammed here was in a prime situation to do this himself accidentally.

That same guy just sold a set of PCE homebrew games for double what the hombrwers themselves are currently selling them for.

It seems like the pro-collectards are much more likely to delve into shady crap, all while championing the natural "fair market" b.s.

Here's the recent M&MIII auction I mentioned:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Might-and-Magic-III-3-for-the-Turbo-Grafx-DUO-English-U-S-version-/111733529896?hash=item1a03d65d28

I don't buy the disclaimer of "the map and insert look original to me, but I'm not responsible because I bought it secondhand".

The edges of one side of the map have unfilled gaps. I'm guessing that everything is either Sparky repro packaging or repros of his repros.

Even if you don't think the seller is being dishonest, someone is still flipping Sparky's stuff.

That is a listing from Keith Courage. His eBay ID is TurboGrafxfan.

Awesome, he bought these bits off of me, and won a Dragon slayers map in a raffle so keep an eye out.  He makes mention of the M&M manual insert being a repro in the listing but not the inlay i made for him and i do not recall if i sold him the repro map, so that could be original but i doubt it.

Anyway of all the people i have helped out and sent inserts and maps to this is the first time i have seen them up on ebay, so that is a pretty good percentage but it is that 1 or 2 percent that ruin it for everyone.

EDIT: it is not that it is just up on ebay, people are not being fourth coming about what is real and what is not. I do not want to see these on ebay but if they appear and people are honest it takes the sting away.


Awesome!!! I'd like to buy

Dungeon explorer II insert
Magical Chase Insert
Might and Magic III Insert
Exile wicked Phenomenon outer sleeve


Also, any chance that you could also make a rear insert for Might and Magic III? I ended up buying a copy of the game that came with no case at all.
