I could see the future being a bit more advanced then that.

@@jupreindeer Yeah ...that box will be dust in 900 years. Paper isn't a durable material over centuries, it's organic material that's been decaying since it died, and a plastic wrapper isn't going to help.
I have worked with Fred Savage several times over the last 10 years since he is a sitcom director now. The Wizard is a classic movie. Cool guy and he never seems to age.
Awsome I remember jenny lewis was in the movie also but she was not to much into Mario at that time I was a huge fan of hers she sings now fred was so awsome in the movie.
This is currently my favorite channel on TH-cam. Born in ‘84, so these videos just take me back. Awesome content brother, thank you for doing what you do.
When Flipping through the corner of the animorphs book, there is a little silhouette of the character morphing into the animal. It's amazing great nostalgia
No wayyy!!!!! I remember watching Address Unknown in the 4th grade classroom for the history portion of the day. I completely forgot what it was called. Lol I've always wanted to rewatch that.
Wow! It’s amazing how far you have come. From 4 followers on TH-cam, to being an absolute rock star! God has been so good! Keep up the great work, brother!
Hey dude, I too, also have a sealed copy of SMB3 I bought from KB Toys many years ago (around 1994) for $10. I guess the time is now to let it go and have it graded and auctioned off. Thanks for the most awesome video!!!
Sealed and graded games are just the evolution of collecting . When you start collection you begin with the easy stuff and trade up. After you have collected pretty much everything in a specific category then you start looking for a rarer version . It happens with all communities.
Yep. It happened with comics + baseball cards and what it does is start pricing the casual fans out of the hobby faster, effectively killing it quicker.
@@bkirk0510 It does affect market pricing, meaning you gotta be quick and get the games you want faster before they rise up BECAUSE of this "people doing what they want with their own games" it's manipulatin the market, so.....
Here’s something that I noticed. When you put the magazines on the shelf that they aren’t very flat going vertically. I have collected a bunch of magazines over the years, and I bag and board them like comics to keep them flat and nice. Not sure if you are looking to do that to those Nintendo Power magazines, but with how those look, I would have bagged and boarded them. Also, I have saved the media shelves you mentioned and where to buy them so I’ve got that one and even the larger one saved for later when I’ve got a place for a game room. Thanks!
dude amazing video! and great flip for that Mario 3 sealed!! did the same with a Mega Man X copies... bought two for 350$ ten years ago kept them sealed in my collection ever since!
It isn't. WATA is a scam. If you really think about it, even grading by a more reputable grading company is just them telling you how nice the cellophane looks. Just noticed that the SMB3 example Rick uses in the video is a "left bros" SMB 3. That variant is more valuable, but we're talking about $700 brand new, sealed left bros vs. $400 brand new, sealed SMB3.
i swear retro u have the best collection game room besides no arcades i’ve ever seen man u bring back video rent stores with ur set up i beyond love it wow man
I find it nuts ppl are paying so much money for games they're never going to play. But hey if ppl got the money to spend on these games as long it makes them happy and it's not illegal i say go for it. You only live once!
Yeah it’s pretty crazy I’m selling some of my old consoles and games as I never play them and if I played them today they would seem so basic with the good at the time but not now graphics I’m all about the current more feature packed systems and games
German here. I loved the John Sinclair books back in the day! :) No idea you had them in the US though - if anyone could shed some light on this, that'd be great.
Yeah love the bttf films I even watched the first one again at my local cinema when it was the anniversary when the film was first released it was an amazing experience!
20:35 I remember those. Back when I schooled in Verde elementary School, they had those. It was an activity in kindergarten where we get a book with the cassette that goes with it pop it in the cassette player and listen along as we flip the pages of the book.
I had one of those “talking” Teddy Ruxpin dolls (the one where you stuck the cassette in his back and he’d read you a story). I used to scare the crap out of my younger brother with it. My favorite thing to do would be to sneak into his room at night, slide it under his bed, then sneak out as the doll started talking. Needless to say, I was a good big brother.
I love the shelves in the game room, it looks so good! I agree with checking the blank cases. In fact, I have gotten into the habit of checking every game case. I have found a couple Wii Sports anda copy of Mario Kart Wii that way. Mario Kart Wii was in a Madden PS2 case of all things. 😂
I think it's perfectly fine to get games graded, especially old games seeing as they'll only get harder and harder to find in nice sealed condition, it's basically just preserving history like paintings, vases, mummies, etc.
Your absolutely correct. At this point in time, video games are becoming a historical relic. Just take a look at the first issue of Superman comic. Or anything from the Ming Dynasty is worth a fortune, yes even that simple bowl.
I grew up on goosebumps for sure. Keep any eye out too, I just picked up I Live in Your Basement the other day for $.52 and sold it for $48 within 24 hours. Just getting into flipping/collecting after binging the entire $10 game collection series over the weekend. Thanks for all the great content!
My goodness i can't wait to hear the value. Id never heard of this before until I read about it on a national newspaper ( and im in the uk ) whilst its great, clearly some people have farrrrrrrrr too much money when I see anything go for crazy money I always think to myself, Jesus, if I had that much money I could help thousands of animals :(
It's all a scam man. The sales all seem to be internal sales designed to show big headlines to create a speculative bubble that the Auction House and Grading company itself can profit from.
great watch loving the turtles shelf and back to the future one my best movies of childhood that and e.t and the monster squad . hope u manage to get an amazing offer on game i personally could not sell it xx keep well see u next video
I still have the give yourself goosebumps books where you choose which way you turn or which building or ride you want to go on it then says which page to turn to based on your decision, imo a really cool idea for a book I wish other books used this idea!
Yea the last games that sold for high prices at Heritage was a Scam cause they were sold by people who work for the company at the high spots in the company .. Go watch Pat and Ians podcast they explain it better than I can..
That’s what I was going to say… There’s no way a game with that many copies sold (Mario 64) is worth that much money. I’m not a huge fan of grading in general, but I’m glad there are a couple newcomers, including CGC, that will hopefully make it less volatile. That podcast episode also mentioned there are still people finding and sending in sealed boxes (as in the boxes from a warehouse with multiple copies). It reeks of a huge scam.
Game grading is a double edged sword as although it might up the top end of the market it also creates excitement for those of us just grinding and discovering :) The power will always remain in the hands of the collectors, and as long as the grading remains monitored and we as the purse holders don’t start bowing to “this would be a 9.7 if it was graded!!!!!” BS then it’ll all be good. The comic book industry has managed to retain an element of control, so why not us?
If it’s time to do it .. do it .. I mean it’s something you can put to your son’s collage fund .. in Australia we haven’t hit that level but man I wish I picked up some sealed games
Nows the time to sell and I hope you certify and insure that sucker before you send it in. I'd get my hands on a koffin from rose colored gaming. I hope you can take advantage before the hype dies down because it's only a matter of time before people catch on that these sealed games aren't worth what people are paying for them
Oh snap, I remember "Address Unknown." I don't think I ever saw it, but I remember it being shown on all the HBO/Cinemax channels a bunch in the mid '90s. One of those random family movies they'd constantly have on, like "Heaven Sent" or "Johnny Mysto."
Really, this is first time I’ve ever heard about but I am in uk so maybe it’s more of an American thing, also that Jeff Daniels film super sucker which retro found in one of his vids looks weird but I kind of also want to watch it
This has effectively change retro game collection in the absolute worst way. Its not even slightly worth it anymore. All passion has been sucked dry and replaced with value and grades. This video is proof. I'm done collecting and I'm subbing to this channel. Ricky is a filthy trader who I've lost all respect for as a collector
Hey Retro here’s the deal I ❤️❤️❤️❤️Mario and the whole crew Luigi etc but super rich can pay a crap load of money for anything they want and not care Something is not right here it’s insane keep us posted✌️👋
I happen to believe that graded Media is gonna be huge in time. I think select Games , VHS , DVD , Blu Ray , Laser Disk , Etc are all gonna go for serious bucks. As streaming takes over. The physical Media copies will become retro cool and highly collected.
Hey bro, gotta say just found you channel, and being the age I am this is everything my childhood was made of. Absolutely love it. And can I say your RETRO sega inspired intro gives me goose bumps. Reminds me of turning on sonic on my sega mega drive (genesis) as a kid 👍🙌🔥🔥🔥
Grading has been the holy grail in most novelties and niches like toys, comics, cards and videogames and it's always been rather a roller coastet ride. Why not profit from it? From a gaming perspective I have always said that I would by two copies for the collection so to keep one and play with the other. Xd. But due to moves some vintage games were open and due to meddling cousins over the years a majority of my sealed collection broke. I wish i graded that way they would be protected. Now rebuilding it has been rather hard. Books I read were Dungeon and Dragons and Forgotten Realms. I also enjoyed the 'Choose your Own' stories and the Redwall Chronicles.
I was remembering the movie Spare Parts. When you ship it to get rated, it wouldn't hurt to throw in like a dozen tampons to protect it from moisture...🤣
14:20 - I believe the two grey discs are "preview" discs intended for journalists and film reviewers. They're not worth much but they're kinda neat (Well actually it says you get a big fine for selling them, so that's why they get donated). I got a Spider-Man 2002 one once. I really like the minimalist case and disc, it's region free, and it also starts straight into the movie instead of having any ads or piracy warnings etc. kind of makes me want to start a collection of them since I'm assuming the studio would have used the same case layout for all their preview discs.
My older brother had that copy of the Goosebumps Collectors Caps back in the day. It came with a sealed set of 5-6 pogs. There was also a second collectors cap book released not long after.
Just started watching you. Started with Phoenix Resale, have been watching him for probably since he started; an he had you in a video an it was awesome. I love the retro stuff. Games, movies, action figures, clothes, etc. I cant wait to keep watching your content. Even though i was born in 98', you have broughy back alot of memories from my childhood. We were very poor growing up, so i got hameydowns an yard sale gold for birthsdays an Christmas. An im kinda grateful for it. Got to gain a love for all these things. Much love man. Keep up with the content. Look forward for more to come !!!
Good to watch some R’nR after a long day on a side note just sent my sealed copy of sol divide for the PS1 which is really underrated btw and I expect at least a 9 to 9.5 minimum
Hiya, Retro. A little random, but I found your Blockbuster "Make it a Blockbuster Night" tee at a yard sale for $1 and bought it. I wear it to bed and love it! Always enjoy seeing which retro shirt you'll wear next! ☺️
Dr. Seuss was my jam as a kid. Also the people sitting by the pool reading the baby sitters club, are the same people who used to sit by the pool reading that. Like the exact same people.
I hope your mailman takes real good care of the SMB3! If I had to send that off where I live, I might as well bubble wrap and it stick it inside a fireproof lockbox, half of my packages I receive absolutely get mangled.
Rick, love the content. One of my favorite channels. Being I am at the age of 51, this all takes me back. I catch myself watching everyday. Idea for you, maybe get you some picture frames and put in the magazines and mount them above each shelf. This will keep the magazines from falling over on the corners and will give you the room of the new shelves to display in front of the magazines. Keep up the FIRE!!!!
If its over 20 years old and sealed i think grading them is excellent. It means there are few left out there and they need to be preserved as part of gaming history. Having newer items graded is ok too because eventually they will be just as rare as what we call retro now. If having a seales collection is your investment for the future or just your way of collecting no one should have any issue. Its all about what makes YOU happy!
I'm an og Nintendo Power subcriber. Got in right around second year, thanks to my aunt. Then searched for those issues me and my cousins missed. When I moved out, no room for my stuff, and my mom and brother have no idea what happened to the years and years of copies. Just like my Official Players Guide, that came with my 1987 NES instead of a game. How many OG cartridges you rip as a kid? I can remember my cousins and I ripping all the sweet cartridges! Millions ripped open.

Do you not garage sale? You should try it chase after the right price asks if they have video games.
I like to imagine that in the year 3000 someone will open up graded games to get working copies.

But they deteriorate on their own especially disc based media.most CDs will be completely unreadable by 2100
That's not true....but eventually yes, they will no longer work.

Living my childhood all over again. I would literally have the same themed shelves. Back To The Future IS the best movie ever.
Back to the future is an incredible movie.
The best film trilogy ever IMO.
Nice vhs find! I just found 2 copies of that Duck Tales and one was sealed!
The sealed/graded market is cancerous to the hobby…

Yep. It happened with comics + baseball cards and what it does is start pricing the casual fans out of the hobby faster, effectively killing it quicker.
@@williambourque926 But the Comic and Card markets are pretty booming now.

heck ya man! sorry it took so long 😑
I so expected the door to catch and you be happy with no door handle breaking any priceless classic :)
“Super Mario Bros. 3” is worth a hundred grand?! Holy crap! That’s outrageous!

i swear retro u have the best collection game room besides no arcades i’ve ever seen man u bring back video rent stores with ur set up i beyond love it wow man
thank you for the kind words...i love hanging in the game room!
Honestly these type of videos are my favorites from you. Just chill, laid back, discussions on everything I'm interested in.

Your ability to open game cases, with one hand, always impresses me.

Lol seriously right? Am I wrong in thinking that the shrinkwrapped new version is so rare bc it usually came with the system?
German here. I loved the John Sinclair books back in the day! :) No idea you had them in the US though - if anyone could shed some light on this, that'd be great.

Can't wait to find out how well it does. And yea fully agree get the money now befor it all drops again
Yeah it’s worth that much! Lol. one of the most produced games ever made…
Them mag's should be in a sleeve with a cardboard behind the mag's so they can stay strait with out corner bendings

From a gaming perspective I have always said that I would by two copies for the collection so to keep one and play with the other. Xd. But due to moves some vintage games were open and due to meddling cousins over the years a majority of my sealed collection broke. I wish i graded that way they would be protected. Now rebuilding it has been rather hard.
Books I read were Dungeon and Dragons and Forgotten Realms. I also enjoyed the 'Choose your Own' stories and the Redwall Chronicles.
I was remembering the movie Spare Parts. When you ship it to get rated, it wouldn't hurt to throw in like a dozen tampons to protect it from moisture...🤣
Heads up!! I tried searching for your twitch and it didn’t work, you gotta type in twitch.tv/retroricktv or it won’t come up!!
thanks for the heads up my friend!
@@retrorick of course!!! Glad I could help 😊😊 can’t wait to see you on twitch!!!
14:20 - I believe the two grey discs are "preview" discs intended for journalists and film reviewers. They're not worth much but they're kinda neat (Well actually it says you get a big fine for selling them, so that's why they get donated). I got a Spider-Man 2002 one once. I really like the minimalist case and disc, it's region free, and it also starts straight into the movie instead of having any ads or piracy warnings etc. kind of makes me want to start a collection of them since I'm assuming the studio would have used the same case layout for all their preview discs.
ah thanks for the heads up!
Tommy rocking the Vegas Golden Knights Hat!
ha i didnt even notice
My older brother had that copy of the Goosebumps Collectors Caps back in the day. It came with a sealed set of 5-6 pogs. There was also a second collectors cap book released not long after.
Just started watching you. Started with Phoenix Resale, have been watching him for probably since he started; an he had you in a video an it was awesome. I love the retro stuff. Games, movies, action figures, clothes, etc. I cant wait to keep watching your content. Even though i was born in 98', you have broughy back alot of memories from my childhood. We were very poor growing up, so i got hameydowns an yard sale gold for birthsdays an Christmas. An im kinda grateful for it. Got to gain a love for all these things.
Much love man. Keep up with the content. Look forward for more to come !!!
In the 90s there was a PC game called Shivers. It took place in a haunted museum. It was pretty dang scary.
Good to watch some R’nR after a long day on a side note just sent my sealed copy of sol divide for the PS1 which is really underrated btw and I expect at least a 9 to 9.5 minimum
I’m not pop obsessed but I do like funko pops because they make so many characters that hardly ever gets official merch
they are pretty cool...i just get obsessed in general with collecting so i always have to be careful haha
Hiya, Retro. A little random, but I found your Blockbuster "Make it a Blockbuster Night" tee at a yard sale for $1 and bought it. I wear it to bed and love it! Always enjoy seeing which retro shirt you'll wear next! ☺️
my favorite books grown up is Goosebumps, Tree House Story’s, Little house on the Prairie, Box Car Children, Captain Underpants
Dr. Seuss was my jam as a kid. Also the people sitting by the pool reading the baby sitters club, are the same people who used to sit by the pool reading that. Like the exact same people.
hahaha
It's so unusual seeing US VHS tape cases, they were more or less all in clam shell cases here in the UK. It was very rare to see a cardboard sleeve.
Good luck man I hope that game goes for alot can’t wait to see how it turns out
I fully believe this is just part of the ever growing retro game bubble that will inevitably pop......these numbers are outrageous
Dude that sealed Mario 3 looks so crispy! I’d have a hard time selling it but for the right price I’d sell it ASAP!
i know right...i got to take a chance with the video game market being so wild!
Great updates to the gameroom! The sealed market is out of control right now. Hopefully it works out for you Rick 👊
thanks Jason! Time for a game room tour soon!
I hope your mailman takes real good care of the SMB3! If I had to send that off where I live, I might as well bubble wrap and it stick it inside a fireproof lockbox, half of my packages I receive absolutely get mangled.
Love Back to the Future, great movie, it’s Ghostbusters for me (1984)
Rick, love the content. One of my favorite channels. Being I am at the age of 51, this all takes me back. I catch myself watching everyday. Idea for you, maybe get you some picture frames and put in the magazines and mount them above each shelf. This will keep the magazines from falling over on the corners and will give you the room of the new shelves to display in front of the magazines. Keep up the FIRE!!!!
The amount of content you crammed in the corner is bad azz. Love the TMNT shelf!!!
16:30 “look at that boom box”
that boom box lyfe
If its over 20 years old and sealed i think grading them is excellent. It means there are few left out there and they need to be preserved as part of gaming history. Having newer items graded is ok too because eventually they will be just as rare as what we call retro now. If having a seales collection is your investment for the future or just your way of collecting no one should have any issue. Its all about what makes YOU happy!
well said Gregory...at the end of the day its your stuff!
Love this man! I'm very excited for you. 9.2 A+ is my guess :)
I'm an og Nintendo Power subcriber. Got in right around second year, thanks to my aunt. Then searched for those issues me and my cousins missed. When I moved out, no room for my stuff, and my mom and brother have no idea what happened to the years and years of copies. Just like my Official Players Guide, that came with my 1987 NES instead of a game.
How many OG cartridges you rip as a kid? I can remember my cousins and I ripping all the sweet cartridges! Millions ripped open.
