should I go on ? If you did, your collection would be worth a LOT more, add an Action 52 Prototype for only $100k and complete your collection.

This may very well be the greatest post in NA history.  From the list, BeaglePuss and I:

- Own the first.
- Owned and sold the second.
- Own the game loose, thos it is irrelevant because it isn't a prototype.
- Owned and sold a gray NWC for the highest publicly recorded price, though also irrelvant because it isn't a prototype.

Outstanding work!

Someone is butthurt over not owning a wheel of fortune CIB or prototype...
 

I own Wheel Of Fortune CIB for SNES! Do I get to join a special club? 




Sorry, but it's for NES sealed copies only. Of course, what do I know? I can't afford sealed Wheel of Fortunes (guess I won at the game of Wheel of Misfortune instead!! Now only if Burger King paid more ) ]]>

I can't vouch for Skylersz sanity. He did figure out how to emboss a watermark though!
Noooow, just address those paper to Mr Holy-SNES and send that package my way please I can vouch for him, and I hope everyone realizes that our "battle" earlier was just a joke. This is great info, Skylerz! And it enforces some of what I've been saying all along, that there are more than 2-3 of these out there.

so... it says sample, have instructions, box, and anything that looks like a sample (nowdays "not for resale" cart) and they are calling it a proto just because?

I got lost there... that, for me, is not a proto, it's more like a sample for magazines, markets or something else...

seems really complete to me

and I read all, pretty strange thread x)

Some/many still consider builds of games sent to press or shops for review to be prototypes. Some can still differ from the final retail release. Prototype doesn't always mean an internal use development cartridge/PCB/disc.

Exactly. Here is my other pride and joy, it says sample but it is still considered a prototype by many. I could never sell this one as I feel it has more value than my A52 proto. I think this was also sent to press or shops for review as well, I could be wrong though. All I am certain of is its large value in $$$.


 


yeah, but it doesn' have a manual, a box, label, etc etc this looks more like a proto than the Action52 one
"Engineering Sample" also hints "proto" to me x) ]]>

All my watermarks are unique! Man I'm so lazy.
That's for sure! HA!

I was getting worried seeing people mistake your sarcasm for criticism :/
On a serious note though, that is some awesome bit of info and glad you posted it. The theories on what these A52 proto/samples ARE exactly can now be put to rest ]]>

Hope I didn't offend anyone and I will add a so it is clear to all.

I was digging through some very old documents that I have accumulated over the years. I wanted to finally put this to rest and show you all proof (ha like that is gonna make a difference). Unfortunately due to certain parties involved, I can't show you the full documents but if you don't take my word for it you can ask a guy called Dain Anderson, I hear he has some sort of connection to this forum. Also Holy-Snes can vouch for me (the docs, not my sanity).

 

First up, Mogen32, awesome score. It is no surprise to me at all that this was found in France. Vince Perri, Greg Pabich, SB2K, I love your work.

Dra600n, I am sorry. Nolans, I am not worthy. Dain, thanks for not banning me yet.

 

Now, I am going to be doing myself out of a potential 100k but here goes...

These were given out as "samples" to interested parties. The goal of this was to get distributors on board for other countries/regions. There is also a press kit with all sorts of lovely info inside, those awesome "sample" labels, upcoming products, adverts, oh and something about a game called Cheetahmen 3.

 

There are definitely more than 4 of these samples out there. I would glady take 100k btw
