I'm not going to say I know one way or the other if this is true, but are you guys seriously trying to suggest he should open up a sealed case of rare games just to prove something to to some random dudes on the internet? Yes. Let's have him devalue his collectible that's worth thousands of dollars just for some worthless internet credibility

Thank Tim. And you are welcome. 

It took 10 years to get this. I am thankful that we finally have one to talk about.

This. I don't debate that they are real but it's pretty obnoxious that someone who has this amazing videogame collection can't come up with better pictures than that. I wouldn't buy something on ebay with pictures that small. And there is no way a person under the age of 60 has a website that looks like that in 2016.

Lol he is just sharing the pics so the knowledge is out there. There's no reason to make demands for better pictures, open it, or anything at all. He's not selling. Take what you will from it. Thanks for sharing OP.

So, as some know already there's been a rumor of a sealed case of Stadium Events.  I've brought it up several times when applicable and each time was accused of being a liar. My friend Tim Atwood (the owner), was accused of being a liar. I defended him because I knew the truth, and I know Tim to be a solid standup guy. I begged and pleaded for him to make the pic public. He didn't want to. Well, until now...

Recently Tim listed some games and in the description he has a pic of a case of Soccer, you know, the rarest sealed Black Box game there is...  Anyway, I let him know that his auction description upset someone and his response was "Post the link and tell them to F off!"  

Haha.  So that's what I'm doing. A lot of people owe Tim an apology but I doubt we'll ever see that. The fact is Tim has the most insane sealed collection in the world. Period. End of discussion.

Here's a link to the pics of both Soccer and Stadium Events.  Let the insanity begin.

The UPC numbers does not match up with the box for Stadium Events............. Maybe I am wrong but the last digit is off. The UPC Number is 0 45557 87305 9......... Not 6....... But I guess the 6 pack uses a different ending number?????

Anyhow without 4 sides I can't believe this is accurate.

Great to finally have something to see, thanks for sharing Tom.

I don't get why Tim doesn't try to cash in somehow, I mean, he has to cash in at some point or it will be too late for him anyway. The guy can do what he wants and I'm not losing sleep about it, but damn, with all the stuff he is supposed to have, he could change 'some' of it into cash at this point.

If you're going to claim to own something online it's only reasonable that others would ask you back it up with proof.

Sounds like this guy has a long history of sealed collecting I was reading his eBay feedback to 2001. Can't find much else online other than NA threads asking about him.

I remain polite but infinitely skeptical. I hope it's real though sure would be cool to think someone hung on to a sealed case of these games! Now I can only hope a pallet of Aero Fighters gets discovered so I can own it for sub $100.

I bet he would make the most money by sending in the distribution box to VGA to get 5 uncirculated grades and then make an unsealing video of 1 copy and uploading it to Youtube.

My logic; would shut up any nay-sayers (not that I am one), would prove if it is a 3 or 5 screw (there was a variant sold last year if I am correct?) and I would assume the other 5 sealed copies would be the same (you could also x-ray a game to determine this), contact Kotaku and IGN with video feed opening a sealed copy, build hype train, spread story, have people rip their hair out watching a grail get ripped out of cello, sell 2 graded copies, keep one sealed and 1 mint CIB for personal collection, keep one for sale down the road, donate 1 sealed copy to Wolfman for the great ideas...

Just make you post it on your geocities website in a 16 x 16 pixel jpeg and all will be forgiven.

lol you tried it but the UPC numbers does not match up with the box for Stadium Events............. Maybe I am wrong but the last digit is off.  I am going to have to call B.S. this appears to be a modified picture as the UPC Number is 0 45557 87305 9......... Not 6.......  I am going back to sleep.

The UPC is for the case not 1 game. I just looked at some cases on ebay and compared the UPS case number to the game.
The last number was different.

This is a correct statement........ I got out of bed to look at the few NTSC 6 pack boxes I have and they end in 8........ oh well..... as stated one fuzzy picture would make me believe its real, anyone with good photoshop skills could pull that off.

OK now the whole world knows more then 2 sealed copies are floating around, so how many pallets are left so we can go hunting for sealed copies.
