The Official "Look At The Small Collectors Crap" Thread

Okay, the purpose of this thread is to share your absolute worst condition carts, manuals, boxes, whatever. I don't want to see anything like, "Well, I am planning on upgrading this cart"... That's not the purpose of the thread! Show stuff from your collection that you are perfectly fine with having because it works, and looks are not what matters : D

All the big time collectors, feel free to jump in and laugh at any of us that collect games like this haha I know it probably looks ridiculous to those of you that are into the minty stuff.

I will kick things off with some examples, and feel free to share yours. Don't be shy if you aren't a minty collector!

Here are a couple of games I have with very minor tearing:



Almost Minty!


Almost Minty!

The next one is in pretty good shape, but the label is almost missing. Take notice of the new label that someone had applied to it:


Close to Minty!


And here... here is my crown jewel! NARC... man oh man. Thank you Marshall Palmer, you have helped me achieve a status of awesomeness with your sharpie writing, and stickers and all that. This is my favorite cart in my collection. I'm even going to show the front AND back of this one!


Minty!

  • Awesome idea Roth.. I'll post some pics tonight in here.
  • Hahaha NARC's back is quite something.
  • I have a pretty nice collection of beat to shit unlicensed carts. They are packed up for moving or I would post pics.

    That NARC is classic...I wonder who it belonged to?
  • I would probably win if I idnt ever upgrade, I had to throw away many working games because of the condition, buy I've never had as much marker as that narc image
  • Geez, better not let the church of karnov know how shitty your copy is...

    Don't throw away bad conditioned games, PM me... I'm always looking to downgrade my games to an even crappy conditioned one..
  • I actually had this idea awhile back. It would have to be the absolute easiest way to get cheap games. Man, if you could complete a beat to shit NTSC set....
  • hahahha that NARC is awesome Roth! Would've contributed to this thread a few years ago but I've upgraded everything.

    Dude, what are you doing?  That's such a waste.  You should at least donate it to Goodwill or something, so someone, somewhere can at least get a little money. 

  • This is great. I fully agree. In fact I have a dead mint Kid Icarus box I plan on down grading. I figure some mint collector needs it and I don't. This is where I fit in. Unless it's Ninja Turtles we're talking about. lol.
  • My question is what are you doing with Marshall Palmers games hummmm
  • Marshall Palmer had one paranoid mom!



    I did a google image search and (aside from the Marshall Palmer method for measuring rain drop distribution,) I came up with this guy. http://files.dmusic.com/music/k/a/kashflow//emotions.jpg He looks like he'd be down for some Narc...

    I know it seems like a waste, but I would never throw anything that I can't donate or give away or something just by spending another 5 bucks, I mean the games were so filthy that I would've felt bad giving them to somebody, I'd have preferred to just buy a new cart or something instead.

    And Pserge, I'll let you know the next time I have them.
  • Still my favorite hideous cart I own is this.

  • ^ Nice Mario 3. Is that label made out of post-its?? lol
  • Post-it Mario 3 FTW!
  • The worst cart I have was one that I got from my dentist (long story). Yeah, it's Narc, but it doesn't compare to yours. The back label looks like it was ripped off in a fury.
  • Roth, where'd you find that Narc?

    looks like masking tape to me... funny whatever it is...
  • How about the worst boxes? These were all MINT BLACK BOXES, but unfortunately they were sprayed with some acrylic irremovable paint, and then the titles of the games that they were gonna store in them were painted on...I thought the were just regular boxes at first, but then looked closely and saw the vague titles of black boxes through the paint.

  • Mmmm... still looking minty to me. image

    uh-oh... Maybe I shouldn't have posted this! haha

    @NES_Bros_3:
    I have absolutely no idea. I may have bought it around here, but I really can't remember.

    Tusky! If that is not your regular SMB3, it doesn't count! ; )
  • Heres a picture of a BEAT UP Dragon Lair Cart,

    Personally I would never make fun of what somebody collects... we all go for what floats our particular boat.   BUT what I find RIDICULOUS are the "FIND OF A LIFETIME I found a loose ducktales for $2!!!!!!!" threads

    Some of those finder's keepers threads aren't even the find of the hour!  image

    Great NARC and great black boxes!!  Cringeworthy!

  • That NARC cart if a piece of art, one of the ugliest cart I've seen. But in the same time, it make it looks beautiful image. Remember me of the guy here who painted a silent service with yellow paint for the NAgehunt, don't remember who it was though.
  • I remember getting a bunch of games one time from some store and there was a SMB/DH/WCTM that was so messed up I just left it at a bus stop! Lol. I know my Ninja Gaiden II is peeling like a snake. I'll check what I got. Oh yeah I also remember getting a stack of games and I know it all was one collection becuase the kid wrote his name on all of them. I'll go see what I got.
  • well I've got some good pics to share, but they didn't upload to NA last night, so I'll pass the time with this glorious pic of some games I'm getting from Frisbee..
