The numbered carts are the silver tin ones. These are ones I didnt make in time for CGE, Eurocon, or the other shows.

Update:  2 out of 6 people have (sorta) gotten back to me.  That means the next 4 people on the list still have a chance.

Me too, fingers are crossed

I didn't get to make it to the event, so hopefully I still get a shot at owning one.

I thought I might get one out of CGE, but no dice. I've been trying to get one since I heard about it.

Actually, Josh  you might be at the front of the line.  When I bought Cheetahmen 2 from you a long, long time ago, you mentioned you wanted a copy,  I just didnt record you because I thought you were done with collecting.

A number of people didnt get back to me, so some people will be getting PMs today.

All the spares I had are now gone.

I think Hakan (Nesaholic) has one left from Eurocon where someone had bought it only to try to resell it on ebay.  He might be your best bet since it would be nice to keep that copy in Europe.

I also know burdger has one (#33) he is looking to get rid of.  I dont remember, but I think his might be a "loose" copy (I think it was burdger who got a copy from someone else, but they had thrown out the tin, etc..)

Theres a very expensive on on ebay.

Other than that, the only one left to get would be #100.  I'm super behind in getting that contest ready too.  It will be publicized when its ready for people to compete for it.

I'm really impressed that you cranked out 100 of these after your notes on how much work (we'll call it: how much "love") went into the making of each individual cartridge. If it was just another Garage Cart I don't know if anyone would be comfortable calling it the first official new release of a new era of NES games.

/oh, mine's already on its way? I don't have to brown-nose anymore?

Heh, so much of your semi-rare CIB's went to me. They're still sitting in my bedroom!

I wrecked a lot of carts. I used 108 donors to make 95, if that's any indication of how lousy I am at de-soldering.  
I also went through 4 de-soldering irons beforeI figured out how to do de-soldering braid. (I had to buy the irons because I couldnt find replacement tips).  I even tried hooking up a bicycle pump to the de-soldering irons to blow the solder out of the way (not a smart move)

   If anyone plans on doing something like this, I can't stress enough how much time and money you'll save using the blank boards from Bunnyboy.

On an unrelated note:
Sorry to open old wounds Josh, but I think this link says it all:

That was probably from around Feb/MAR of 2006.... and that list was already HEAVILY EDITED. I had already sold a good chunk of it off. That list was probably the last one I had edited before the stuff hit ebay.

If i remember correctly I was extremely pissed that no one wanted the DK Jr. Math and when i dropped it on ebay it only sold of 65 or so... it was really nice too

BUT DAMN! some of those prices make me want to crawl inside of a bottle of whiskey and cry myself to sleep.

Regardless I made just under 10k selling off my collection on the forums and then ultimately on ebay. The money went to school and traveling so I have no regrets. I just wish that people would have been willing to shell out the dough then like they do now.

@ jumpman - you and captain nintendo bought SOOOOOOO much stuff... If i recall, you dropped over $500 on the first batch of stuff I posted. Were you the one who ended up with my minty Chubby Cherub boxed? I can't even remember...but i do remember I sold it for practically peanuts in comparison to what it is selling today.

Nope, I didn't end up with the Chubby Cherub box, but you're right, I did spend something like $500. I can't remember anything specific that I got off of you, but when I look through my games, I remember which ones you sold me. mb7241's got it - ahhh, the good old days.

Yeah, I do have #33, but it is complete still with the cello bag on it. I'm not actively looking to sell, but I've posted it in a few of my trade lists.

That bill galaxy guy has #58 and #59 on ebay, granted they're expensive. The Auction one has a $199 starting price and he's got one in his store for a crazy $350.

Hm...I just tried something at RetroUSB... I tried to add 1000 of a few different things to my cart, to see if it'd let me. I ended up with the following numbers (of course, I didn't check out with these...that'd be ridiculous and expensive):



Airball - 113
Sudoku 2007 - 23
PowerPak Lite - 29
ReproPak MMC1 version - 39
27C020 256KB EPROM - 34
Clear cart cases - 14



So my question: is that how many are left of each?
