So, “grail cartridge” is probably an even mix of Crackdown, Wrestle War, and Phantasy Star 4. I’m 2/3 there. Yeah, you can still get a lot of CIB genesis games for $10-15 shipped. That’s how you start. Then you realize you hate dealing with the cases and now you’re paying $5-10 each for loose carts. Then you realize the carts are just a simple PCB and a rom chip and you end up like me. Buying huge lots of crap because you’re trying to lower your average buy price. Then you think, hm, I need something to store all these carts in. I kept good records of expenses and stopped tracking around $600. I’m probably currently in for double that. Oh well, make it spend it. Personal cartridges on the left, commissioned cartridges on the right. :cheers: |

They've held up beautifully. Some day, collectors are going to appreciate your work on those as the only alternative is stripping them off another 20-40 year old game. Trying to source those was probably my last interaction with only sort of online pinball community. I was met with the same idiotic snark and useless replies that drove me out of those circles in the first place. :cheers: |

You can put whatever you want of mine in EA cases, no ---smurfs---, I just wanna play the games. Wonderful derail by a moderator though, really top notch "lead by example" behavior. |

The $$ becomes meaningless past the $1k mark, doesn't it? This is easily my favorite thread on any forum anywhere presently. |
