Does minty mean < mint? And if that's true, doesn't that render it not mint?

Mint hasn't meant mint for some time. Depending on the seller any one of these could be in better shape than a Mint copy

GEM MINT
Cherry (mostly using in arcade game circles)
Prestine

If you really mean mint then you have to use all caps
MINT>mint

it's crazy what shantae is worth, though. it's not that rare is it?


It is the rarest GBC game...  Cart only is ~$80  I thought.  Maybe $160 for super minty CIB.  Maybe it's just going up in general as it's hard to find
try 300+ for a minty CIB

It's Gameboy Color though. How many threads are in the WTB forum for "WTB GBC Sealed / Complete games!".  It's been re-released as a downloadble game too, so gamers can get their fix there.  Right now all of the value is coming from hoarders / speculators and a few collectors.

GBC is highly volatile in general, Metal Gear Solid GBC CIB can go for $100-$120 as a BIN and yet auction off in the $50-$60 range sometimes.  Shantae just gets all the hype and all of the attention so people keep trying to boost the price.  It won't last forever though, mark my words.
I agree that people are definitely trying to boost the price. They are doing it with everything not just shantae, look at all the NES games that keep skyrocketing that are worth no where near what people are getting. So I definitely agree that right now it is higher than it should be, but the fact that the game has hovered in the $100 price range for so long tells me that collectability is high and it isn't going to fade out quickly. I just predict the game will probably sink back down to the $100 range and that's where it will stay.

Is Shantae really the rarest or just the most expensive?
