Super bad Idea, Break Fluid will stain the lable, just use normal rubbing alcohol and it will take the blue blockbuster paint right off with out any issues, Also keep any cleaners away from the lable if possible as the N64 carts have no clear coat and it will fade or damage the lable.

I like that idea I didn't even think of it.

How will it stain the label if you only apply the fluid to the sticker and not the label.  I've done it and it does not stain anything.  I would rather leave the sticker on and not risk tearing the label and this methos allows me to do so withgout the annoying BB logo.

Updated. Got a bunch of good stuff last week. SCAT is the standout for NES lovers. Magical Drop Pocket is the real score I think.

I wasn't planning on selling but if you see something you want let me know. I'm not terribly attached to the PS1 stuff. Only thing I'm definitely not selling are the Final Fantasy's. Which is probably what you want lol.

Nice start man, which ones you missing? Without looking at a list and just going by eye, I know 3 obvious ones you need, Balloon Fight, Clu Clu and DK Math. Yeah those will be hard, but getting Volleyball / Soccer / Wrecking Crew isn't exactly easy either. Looking good, the BB set is one of my favorites to own as well

Stack Up wasn't in the pic, was it?  For some reason the one I couldn't think of was Balloon Fight.

Yeah I still need Stack Up, Clu Clu, Balloon Fight, DK Math, Mario Bros, and big box Gyromite. Also a couple of the silver box games, RC Pro AM, and MTPO. Not black boxes but I still wanna get em and have them all together.

^^ Hey thanks a lot, I'd appreciate the help. On top of the ones I'm missing I could definitely use an upgrade on Soccer, Ice Climber, Baseball and Golf. Probably some others but those are the worst condition ones I have. Soo many Stack Ups listed in the last week and I couldn't be in the running for any of them. Too much car trouble all at once so I can't really spend any money on games at the moment Oh well, when the time is right, it'll happen. I'm going to start going after the box variants. HT and Non-HT, and all the different code variants. My favorites are the boxes with no code, just because they're the originals. A lot of history and nostalgia in those boxes.

By the way Downtown, I saw you're black boxes in the pics thread. Nice stuff! Looks like you already have a bunch of the HT/Non-HT Variants.

I haven' t been collecting variants so much as ending up with them. I'm planning on selling the excess for Stack Up and DK Math funds, or to swing a power trade. But the asking prices on those are so over the top. I have a couple more dupes on the way. One of which is an Ice Climber. Not sure which edition, though.

GREAT DEAL
