Wow, Pepsi Invaders! Did you buy it from an original Coca Cola executive, from some other collector, or did you or a relative worked for Coke?

not too much rare stuff for me, as I'm just starting out. Although I did just buy ninja five-o, and I also recently got cheetahmen II the creation and cheetahmen II the lost levels, so yea those are my rarest ones. cheetahmen II is surprisingly addictive. Its so bad its fun.

I'm going to assume still it's my Sharp NES TV, remote and 2 controllers all in fantastic shape and no missing tv parts.

If it's not that I have no idea as I doubt I own a game worth over $300.

I just saw you were looking for most valuable. Or the combination of the most value and rarest?? That award might go to my Hagane CIB because everyone knows that rental exclusive is that rarest thing under the sun and is going to worth like 5k someday

You're the sort of SNES collector I aspire to be. Handsome, yet rugged. Powerful, yet noble.

You'd be surprised by the value of some pieces of paper  

For me my most valuable / most rare pieces are these two beauties :



Robowarrior Tip Sheet = 1 of 2 that I know to exist
Wall St Tip Sheet = 1 of 1 that I know to exist

The last time a guy sent me a message like that, it ended in tragedy. But if we're strictly talking about video games, then I ABSOLUTELY wanna hear more.

I don't even know why I should comment here. You know what it is, attakid. And you should be pretty darn happy, too, 'cause after seeing what Nintendo's done with the Virtual Console release of Earthbound, I swear my end of the deal keeps getting worse and worse each day...

I'm really sorry to hear that you feel that way Andrew. I'm happy about our trade and I was hoping that you were too. I have regrets myself, but my regrets have nothing to do with the value of these items--I only paid $200 for that game. I just miss having that beautiful box on my shelf.

Have you seen what Nintendo has done with the Virtual Console release? Not only is the game $10, but they've released a free PDF of the player's manual on the website (http://earthbound.nintendo.com/playersguide/)
It just detracts so much from owning an original copy now. I guess this is Nintendo's way of stickin' it to collectors.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic but I think it's Nintendo's way of making $.



Besides, many people (myself included) simply won't pay upwards of $200 for a SNES game so being able to get it for $10 is nice (and I don't have to resort to downloading ROMS and doing shady emulation).
