Lol definitely had me going. Cussing about how I never get that lucky. Great find nevertheless. That thing is so minty I'd be worried it's a repro label. I'm sure you did your due diligence though. Very cool

Game store near me had a mint copy for almost $900 so that is a great pickup.

If that is standard cosmetic wear, your definition of mint is awfully strict. That thing looks like it came out of a sealed box this morning.

As it should be. Too many people have no standard for that word. 

It is very nice looking indeed. But with the relatively low resolution the forum can display I’m sure there are details we can’t see here. 

Oh, and:  OP ya got me too, lol! $17 what! oh, ok lol

Agree when it comes to CIB and sealed. 30 year old loose carts though, you can only be so picky. Clean label with no cuts or tears, no writing or other markings on cart, no damage. How much more can you expect from a cart?

its not really that scratched up but the adhesive has spots under the label from being in either a humid enviroment or hot attic

trust me  i would have been waymore more ecstatic if i really got it for that price lol.  i will say this though. i did get little sampson for 120 from  a local gaming store just months before the price sky rocketed in 2011.  and i got the LS manual free.

In theory, it doesn’t matter what we can expect. If it’s not mint then it’s not mint. Grading can’t be done on a curve or it’s meaningless.
I could lecture about the process but I don’t want to be overbearing. So I will just say that truly NM/M condition is difficult to find with many item categories. “There is no perfect card.”

In this example, many small flaws are visible in the close-up and that is just a partial shot. I will agree all day that it’s very nice. It’s not mint condition.

well my little samson cart i have is mint.  not one scratch stain wear of any kind    and yes your right mint is hard to find.  but i think saving 400 to 600 dollars for an outstanding cart vs a mint is fine for a game like this lol.

It is fine. I never try to buy mint. Just not my target. Although when I buy new I do try to keep things nice, that goes for games, magazines, whatever. I'd be interested to see your Little Samson.

Wow, $16.99?! Deal of a lifetime LOL!  

But seriously, $700 for this game in VG/NM condition is still a good deal. Congrats!
