Sealed Game Heaven — Forgotten Freshness
← Sealed collections for other systems
Piccie taken a while back for another forum, but it fits well here too.

Some of my pearly items that were to hand. I've got lots of other sealed stuff, mainly pce, saturn, with marty when I can (not crap though). And more gems too

Some sweet new hardware too.

Can't really be seen but the Darxide is signed by David Braben (Elite) (red triangle ship). The pce stuff is lovely too, flawless, no unstuck glue or manual rucks. Renny Blaster has poor glue, took an age to get!

And i'm the one who believe there is 100,because i remember it in japanese Famitsu issues when it came out.

A bit of a story on that one. Basically my japanese contact left bidding right up until the very last second and his bid never registered which means some lucky guy got it for peanuts. In any case, the seal wasn't 100% perfect. There was another sealed 2nd print MC that same week! Also went fairly cheap.
Yeah, I saw both, good prices too as you say.

I suppose you could have bought both, as the game only copy looked great condition, and just sold the damaged sealed copy. Open copies are hitting that sort of price on Ebay these days, so a sealed one, albeit with damage, would have certainly recouped your spend I imagine. Ah well, it'll be up again!

I cannot remember the official ads in Japanese magazines from those days, but I know where the "20" myth comes from:

I was gonna bid on this but I don't like the barcode sticker in the back. Wheelaa, could you enlighten me on why this game is so sought after?

Because it is very rare in sealed condition.
