At first, this thread was full of lols, now it just became even more ridiculous with people putting personal beliefs out there with what people should so with their money.

Hey, since you all have so much money to blow on bad games, give it to me instead and do good by god. Or something

Seriously, what if I regularly make charitable donations and also like to help myself? The answer in these scenarios always boils down to "whatever you do is never enough." With that mentality the only thing you can guarantee is sleepless nights and a crushing cloud of mental depression.

I will personally donate $5 to help restore Shawn's Shift key, but only if I can write it off.

I will remember this exact post forever.

Holy crap I missed a lot. Last time I checked this was a "well done, congrats" thread. Love this site.

I have decided to give away my collection because the guilt of having nice things is overwhelming. Also withdrawing my $20k offer and using the money to feed a less fortunate community McDonalds dollar menu burgers.

It's people like you who ruin this hobby.

I'm also giving my top 5 games in my collection to Skylersz. He's 100% correct and is to helping me see my flaws in in not only collecting but in life.

Jesus traded his games for your sins.

Sorry, I don't collect incomplete crap.

Now I owe Jesus a copy Bible Adventures. This giving thing is giving me indigestion. Who said you don't get what you give is full of it. I'm glad this worthless plastic is what finally will set me free from a life of sins.

Jesus will only settle for super Noah 's ark 3d (it's his favorite)

I need to pull NGD into this thread because from what I recall, this isn't a proto, this is just the "first version" of the game that we always called the "blue label Action 52". Is it rare? Sure, it definitely isn't common, but I never thought much of it to be honest. $100K? I'd gladly sell mine and I'm sure NGD would sell his, too, for $100K any day of the week. Unless I'm not getting my wires crossed, I'm not sure what all the hoopla is over here.

Who is this joker now ^

So NGD and yourself "think" this is just a standard "blue label Action 52"? Basically saying Mr Pabich, myself, hell even poor SB2K are all full of shit? I have just lost all respect for you and your site.

EDIT: I'm hoping this is sarcasm

I think everything he said was 100% pure unadulterated sarcasm

I hope so! If so, then I really feel like a complete dumbass... I really need to just bury my head in sand

Isn't that a bit harsh? He acknowledged that this was what he had known to be as the truth with the caveat that he may be thinking of something else or isn't remembering correctly. If solid proof comes to light that proves this isn't a prototype, then you'll feel pretty silly I would think. This site is about sharing information, and saying things like this is counterintuitive to the cause.

If it was a joke, or sarcasm, there's no inflection to support that claim IMO. Either way, a smiley face or something lighthearted would have made it more obvious

Going by everything else he has said in the thread I would assume it HAS to be a joke, if not, oh boy...

*Sigh* ... you people are just not getting it. There is no solid proof to show this isn't a prototype. There IS solid proof to show it IS a prototype. Just google "Greg Pabich Action 52"
Also there is even more mounting evidence that this is worth 60k+ I was skeptical at first, yes, but after I found out I own one and no one else besides the OP has this exact version, I am convinced this is a true grail.

Also, Dain isn't above the law here, he should be treated like everyone else.

Also, for those who are saying my pic was photoshopped and I don't really own one etc.. I do. I even have the same version which is the even rarer version that was posted in this thread by the OP.

The only photoshop is my watermark. This game deserves better than a bunch of people attacking us about it. As stated, this is a true Nes grail.

I stand by my original comments that these aren't prototypes. At best, they're what they say on the label: Samples. That would also explain why there weren't easy to find.

Put up or shut up. I have shown you proof, where is yours?

Uh, the word "Sample" in your photo?

Well then, I suppose I was wrong... Huh...
