RE: [SWCollect] So obviously Mt. Drash is no longer rare....
It was the *English* version of Kizuna Encounter (or Super Tag Battle). By English I mean the manual is in English and the paper insert is written in English. The game itself is identical to the Japanese version that sells for around $500. $500 vs $12,000 hm I my opinion it isnt even that good of a game, nothing like the Metal Slug Series or Neo Turfmasters or Pulstar. Other outrageously expensive games for the Neo Geo: US Metal Slug 1 - $2500+ US Metal Slug 2 - $1000+ US Neo TurfMasters sold mine for $1300 US Ultimate 11 (Super Sidekicks 4) - $4000-$5000+ JAP Quiz Chibi Maruko-Chan - $2000+ These are prices people regularly pay for these games!! Its really unbelievable. -josh -Original Message- From: MASTER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pedro Quaresma Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 3:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SWCollect] So obviously Mt.

[SWCollect] Nit-picking at its finest
Even with my superior powers of anality, I am unable to answer the following question: Which Wing Commander III filmcan is worth more: With the front circular sticker attached, or not attached (pristine, still on its wax backing, inside the can)? I have the latter, and I'm debating whether or not to attach the sticker to the can (like I found it on my first one).

Let me apply some Talmudic logic here: The general rule is, whensoever A can be converted into B, but B cannot be converted into A, A must be worth at least as much as, if not more than, B. : ) Stuart -Original Message- From: Jim Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 12:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] Nit-picking at its finest Even with my superior powers of anality, I am unable to answer the following question: Which Wing Commander III filmcan is worth more: With the front circular sticker attached, or not attached (pristine, still on its wax backing, inside the can)?

Re: [SWCollect] Nit-picking at its finest
LOL !!! God I needed that! I've had one hell of a horrible day today :) I like this logic, btw. I'm still curious to hear opinions, but I think I'll leave the sticker off.
