That's got to be the first authenticated art they've vga has done thus far? Just amazing Dan. So clean and unique. Did it come matted like that or you did that?

how would they even go about authenticating something like that? i'm guessing it's based on your word you gave them?

Seriously though, how can they authenticate that? I'm not doubting it's legit seeing that it's coming from a HIGHLY reputable member of the community. But I'm doubting their ability to veryify the authenticity.

I think *this* is what makes me draw the line I suppose.

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

I think your answer is right there.

The strongest provenance you can have is the ability to track the history of an item back to where it originated.

thanks everybody!

To answer some questions, I consulted with VGA a bit about the matting, they took care of it after we agree on it. It took a year to get it slabbed and authenticated :/

Robots are OK with the wife, LOL

As for how it was authenticated, I don't want to get into details, but buyatari is on the right track.

VGA'd or not, that is a damn awesome piece for any collection. Freaking sweet. Did they happen to create a way for the VGA case to be hung up on your wall?

2 things i get from this thread. 1 - it's not actually the worst vga'd games ever, which i was hoping for since Paul started it with that beauty, and 2 - VGA really like 85 don't they?
