  • These are the ones that come to mind to me, when I think of those that are incredibly hard to find out there. I'm not perfect, I'm human, I might be wrong in what I say here, but from what I know, these are ones that are at the top echelon of what exists for the NES.

    I appreciated the "run to your collection and see" part. Gave me a good laugh. I personally didn't run to my collection because I had already done that previously before seeing this video. And you pretty much described every one of my experiences to the T lol. No luck yet

    I'm even astonished as to how valuable some of these things are. I guess the easiest thing to do would be look for five screw cartridges and hope you find one somewhere. Seems to be the most logical idea to me. Looking forward to your how to spot counterfeit reproduction cartridges episode. If you could please do that for the NES and SNES eventually they would help a lot of people who just don't know better. That said though. They have all kinds of different colored cartridges clear translucent green pink orange you name it the reproduction cartridges are really cool looking. They've really come a long way with those.

    I wouldn't dare call it the crown jewel of my collection, more like the royal dingleberry encrusted on the side of the family jewels from a failed wipe... but I do have a copy of Cheetamen II in my collection. I had made a hail mary bid on an auction and for what I can only assume is an abundance of common sense in other people, it wasn't challenged; so my copy did not cost me $4,000 to acquire. I also have a copy of Action 52, so I have that going for me. If I ever catch a stream of yours I would be happy to validate live.
    I picked up a non-Myriad Caltron 6-in-1 at a local game store when someone apparently needed some cash and traded in a handful of grails, many of those you talked about in your last video.
    None of my 5-screw variants are worth anything. I didn't have to run and check.

    My holy grail video game would be an Atari 2600 CIB Sears Superman with the yellow text picture label. Atari Sears Telegames is my video game collecting niche. That said, it's a great thing that any Atari 2600, 5200, NES, SNES, Genesis, TG-16, N64, Neo-Geo, etc. cartridge based game can be played on original hardware with SD cartridges. Me and my friends had wild fantasies back in the day of a magical NES cartridge that had every single NES game ever made on it. It was a crazy idea that we never dreamed would ever actually happen. It's now 2024, and I have one of those magical cartridges inserted into my AV Famicom.

    Some individuals don't truly grasp rarity and the monetary assignments based on rarity. People will collect anything. Not just sports cards and comic books. Toys, video games, books, coins, watches, carpets, cars...
    I can emulate if I want to play a game. Collecting based on value, grading and rarity had zero to do with video gaming itself. The nuances of the early days and limited print runs give some titles a lot of value.
