The date stamp is 3/16/2016, not 2010.

The site said he was planning to auction these off and a poorly worded line about "I'm not going to tell you I have been collecting for 7 years to get you to bid" or something totally random and irrelevant like that.
Wrong. The date is yesterday. The pic size is fine, I can make out all the details. The site is his template for eBay listings. He's not selling.

You're right sorry I was sitting too far from the big screen to make it out.

One says 03/11/2016 and the other says 03/16/2016, then it just lists what's in it, the company, etc.
What I don't get is why the images are so small, and why only a top view of each.
Edit: Read about the template thing, still why only a top view?

It definitely hurts the value of his games by posting the case pictures though....

Ehh. Not really. He's not selling so it doesn't matter. If he were selling then yes I'd agree.

I don't to derail the thread about how amazing these pictures are, but what, there are 2-3 sealed Stadium events? Even the fact that there's a known case in existence has to devalue each game by thousands.

Could we get some better pictures? Would be sick to see this box from multiple angles. He can keep the watermark on there to prevent scammers from trying to sell it.

I found him and some old NA threads from 07 talking about him. Is there any way to see what a person has previously sold/bought on eBay? Would love to learn more about this person.

Wait until he tells you he has a whole warehouse of them.

You'd think it would be more valuable if he opened the case and sold them individually. Might be tough for someone to come up with a few hundred grand to buy a case of SE.

That's not really the point of this thread, though. Really cool item either way, never thought i'd see a sealed case of this game.

I'll ask for sure. Not likely tho. The point is proven. Anyone doubting at this point is grasping at straws. Not to say that I don't understand the skepticism. I do. However, the fact remains that this case was rumored to exist for years. This isn't new. I confirmed it years ago and was told pics were needed. Pics are here. It is real.

That is amazing! Certainly something I wouldn't have considered existing in 2016, in the case of either. This Tom gentleman must have some insane stuff!

Hey sorry I'm new here I had never heard anything about this before today. Sounds like this guy has an amazing sealed collection but it's only logical to remain skeptical with zero proof being offered.

I don't think it devalues another sealed SE at all. These are not available for purchase so their existence really doesn't have any bearing on price. If they were for sale then yes. Keep in mind most people who have a sealed SE aren't selling anyway so value becomes irrelevant to them.

He's not saying you should be "in the know", just explaining that it's been an on-going thing, and it took him this long to take 1 picture and post it publicly, that it's unlikely he'll take more, that's all

Hey nothing to apologize for. Just trying to give you some background. Tim and I met in 01' and have been friends since. Yeah his collection is mind blowing. For me this isn't even the most impressive piece.

Of course! There's only a few million copies out there. That's only like, 2% of the world population.

Yeah. When I first saw the pic I said "Dude you just made me sh*t my pants and get a boner at the same time!"
