This auction is for the prototype for the Stadium Events April Fool's Day Edition release offered previously on this site which will be numbered zero, (The label is made with a different material than the released carts and you will be able to tell the difference) The proceeds of this auction will be donated to Dain to help offset the costs of hosting NintendoAge. The bidding will last one week and I will ship the cartridge to the winner after Dain confirms payment has been received. Good Luck and remember that this auction is for a great cause, our community!!

    The label is a bit different and the label is made out of different materials.  I will post a pic in the morning, you would be able to tell the difference if you hold both types in your hand.  Good Luck!!

    Sorry about the quality of the pics, my camera sucks image    - The colors are a bit darker on the prototype than the released carts.  Also the chips on the prototype have my writing on them (See first pic), where as the released cart everything is blacked out.  I noted that it was the prototype and signed the side of the front as shown in the picture.    This can easily be removed with goo-gone if the winner does not want the writing on there.  Let me know and I will remove it for you, if you want.    Glad to see the charitable nature of this site!!

    Good one Doug,If this was an actual SE proto god only knows what the bidding would be at.I can't even begin crunching those #'s!!!

    Hey Nick do you have a "macro" setting on your camera? That is, a little button that looks like it has a tulip icon next to it? If so push that and take your pictures. On my camera, this turns off the flash so you'll either need to steady the camera on/against something solid so you don't get motion blur, or turn the flash back on and take your shot at a 45-degree angle so you don't get shine.

    Hi,I want to know how you made the label. 

    I would be interested in what size label, brand name the label is.  Did you have to cut it to fit? 

    Thanks.

  • yemtraderyemtrader
    Hi,



    The label dimensions are 2.167 inches by 3.85 inches. 650 X 1155 pixels. I use adobe photoshop to create the images. For the labels I used full sheet Avery Self Adhesive Labels and then applied a self laminating layer over the top of the label to protect the label and make it feel close to correct. You have to cut them to size. It is easy with full color labels but harder with white labels like Stadium Events that don't have a defined border. Hope this helps.

    Well, Dan...lol...I was trying to leave about 5 seconds or so to see if anyone would go higher. My browser unexpectedly lagged a bit, and then finally submitted the post. I feel like I hit a target from 800 yards away right about now image .
