DS Pokemon Darkrai distribution cart

in Price Check
This was originally a wrecked cart. With quite a bit of work, all of it was transplanted to a new board and shell. Sticker has some creases from when it was damaged. The only one I saw sold on eBay was more damaged than this. Anybody got an idea of the price?

    I'd want to know that you'd done all of that before I'd think about buying it. Though the label damage would turn me off to it even w/o knowing that you not just did a shell swap but a board swap too (which would make it a no buy for me). I assume that you also pulled the rear sticker over as well? Being that some of the rare distros for Pokemon and DQ are all I'm missing for the DS demo/NFR collection I'm pretty nit-picky when it comes to the condition of these things. I've shelled out hundreds on a few of these over the years.



    Darkarai is rare, but it's interesting, all of the really rare ones have been recently showing up a lot in damaged/cut form and more of the undamaged ones are slowly coming out of the woodwork as well too. So many more Arcecus, Manaphy and Secret Keys in the last 6 months and basically none in the previous 5 years.



    Regigigas and Dragonite are basically unicorns still though.



    That said, it'd still go for 300+ in auction easy.

    Of course- even though it was carefully transplanted- I want it to be clear it's been fixed. Unlike all the other damaged Pokemon carts I've owned and seen, this one didn't actually get ripped in the label, just creased.

    All stickers were transplanted- even the back. It's on a different board- as the other wasn't salvageable. See picture for back sticker.

    Without the crease you wouldn't be able to tell it's been fixed.
