  • I don't think any boxes have sold since Nick Morgan bought the complete copy. As for manuals, MRN acquired his (from Seth, I think), and for a while NES_king was thinking of selling his, but I'm not sure it ever happened.



    I guess that really wasn't very helpful image
  • no it sort of was, I was thinking nick's copy was the last one too. Will be interesting to see what it takes the next person to acquire one.
  • I have only seen 2 boxes change hands (publicly anyways) since I have been collecting. The sealed one you bought Bronty, and the one Nick fucked Ant on. I picked up the last open auctin manual for it on ebay, and then nesking got his right after I picked up mine iirc.

    ~~NGD
  • last 3 boxes I know of are, Bronty's sealed one, braveheart's side deal, and Nick's. I think DreamTR got his box somewhere between bronty's and braveheart's, but I can't recall exactly when.
  • not too many of these out there... that sure sucks balls for people who are trying to collect a CIB collection.
  •   We won't see another one for sale until you decide that Sealed one isn't up to your standards.. image
  • There is a SE box in my pants if anyone wants to buy it!

    In that case, you might want to specify whether it's in the front or back of your pants. . .

  • lol... first time I have busted out laughing on here in a while. <3
  • hey i don't know much about SE. why is it so hard to find/ rare?
  • rofl I heart blarky. I also have a picture to prove he hearts me, but that's another discussion..
  • I hope they find a lot of them in a warehouse somewhere. With the rarity now, no casual collectors have a chance.

    basically bandaii came out with it, nintendo almost immediately decided they wanted to put it out under their own name so they bought the title and renamed it world class track meet.    So due to the name / company change very few of the original exist.     I think there's a wiki article on it too if you want to look it up.

    It is the single reason why I gave up a CIB collection

    can't a "casual collector" just buy world class track meet?   Just sayin'...

  • i got the pal box which works for me. i havent seen to many pal se boxes lately either
  • there you go, that's another alternative.
  • where in the earth did you get a sealed SE(and myriad etc.)? i've been wondering since i seen the rare ntsc owners thread,now i have a good opportunity to ask!that def must be worth more than a gold NWC?
  • Also it gives you a reason to go to the flea market week in and week out
  • he bought the sealed one of ebay several years ago.
  • I agree the sealed se is the rarest of nes items at this point in time, rarer than the nwc
  • Well, I have the high offer on a SE box...and they all turned me down. image Someone will go broke sooner or later, or grandma will find one in her attic some day.



    The same thing could be said about a CIB myriad (kinda anyway), and I almost ended up with 4 of them. Patience and lots of cash!
  • Im just wondering how long nick will hold onto his collection

    i agree with MRN. Anything is for sale if you give it enough time and have a large stack of money. I have the time, just need that stack of money.

  • Most of the people who own these now, I don't see letting go of them for quite some time. It's kinda priceless if you think about it. Sure, one day somebody will think, I don't need this anymore. But right now, the people who have them have full CIB sets, and if they sell that box, they'll never have a CIB set again. The price of the box, is kinda the price of a CIB set in a round about way.
  • so the question is, how much will the first "complete" CIB set sell for? because if I had it, it would be a package deal.

    both of those I happened to get on ebay but in general I just always bought from whatever source I could if that was ebay or other collectors or whatever.

    as to value, well I would have to sell it for us to find out the answer to your question.    In my opinion its more special than a gold nwc but your mileage may vary.

    ^Not only that, but since it predates the Nintendo brand Power Pad, you had to have bought the expensive big-box FFF Athletic World just to be able to get the mat to play Stadium Events...am I correct? Or were the FFF mats themselves sold separately?
