yeah i saw that (about thor). i was recently in touch with him about the NWC. he is a really nice guy. crazy that he doesnt even know where his is. for those of you who dont know, thor 100% deserved to win that thing back then. i remember watching him....all of us finalists watching him play tetris on this big screen television before our "practice" time and it was amazing. he could vibrate his thumbs right and left faster than it would move if you just held it. so not only was he a better player (at tetris), but he could move the pieces faster. so here we are, all the best players in our respective states and we re looking at eachother like its already over.
i just had a request to tell my story (which is quite a long one), but im not sure where to put it..... or how much to tell any thoughts??
Robin here again. Instead of collectors corner, I've been asked to write it in the e-zine. I'm not sure how long it takes, but I'll accompany it with pics and do my best to give all the details.
Asfar as the sale of the NWC I'm willing to talk to any of you. My feelings on the matter are a little torn at the moment though. Last year I almost sold it to a kid who was offering 1000$. I was broke at the time and had just had a baby, and had no idea it was worth so much more. I actually found Thor on myspace to ask him for his thoughts. He didn't know the current value either and thought it was a good deal. Later, we both read up (what we could find on google) and learned that it was sold at 2k....and someone has been trying at 7k. I read an article from some "collector" that thought it could go as high as 70,000$ some day (that would be nice). So anyway I was talking with someone recently about this theory that it could reach 70 and they were like "if I offered you 10 right now would you take it?" . I said yes, because A) theres no guarantee it will go up anywhere near 70 and B) i think 10 now will be worth more to my family than triple that would be worth in 20 years. (i realize it's not worth 10....yet)
The truth is this game is the only material thing I value in the universe. There was a fire in my apartment last year and as I ran out I grabbed, baby, cash, and NWC.... without thinking. Now that I am not so broke, it seems like maybe i should just hang on to it. My mom, an avid comic reader, once had X-men number 1 (which wasnt catching on back then) and gave it to someone. You add the fact that I used to pray to own it (back when nintendo power had a contest for the gold), and,like I said I'm a little torn..... torn, but listening to offers
