July's Collection Update! I must say, July was a really good month! Steelbooks, CEs, imports, JRPGs... yeah, that'll do. :3

Good day at the flea market today. Bought a few audio equipment items but didn't bother picturing those this week. Did find this gaming stuff however.

Got these two SNES games for $5 a piece.

Then kept looking around and stumbled across this Dreamcast Lot. Guy wanted $50, offered $30 and got it for $40. Nothing outstanding but it's not often you come across Dreamcast stuff in my area so I couldn't pass it up.

What's the point of these? There's no disc inside, right?

Capcom makes a very limited print of theses voucher only boxes. I bought 2 MVC2 copies while back when they were selling at GameStop. My sealed copy was going for about 300 bills a while back. All collector's know about the value of these boxes.
 
Guess I should grab a handful so I can send my kid to college :p

I posted the chips when they came in, but I wanted to show off latest batch of repros now that they're assembled and cased/labeled :D

I'm a collector and boxes with nothing inside are completely worthless to me.

It has a voucher code in it so it's not totally empty.

Yeah a voucher that will probably become invalid over time if you don't open it up and redeem the code.

I'd rather own the original NES game. Drop HD and trophies but guarantee I can play the game in the future.

When this re-mastered version is as old as the NES version I wonder how many people will still have access to their digital game.

It does when a statement such as, "All collector's know the value of theses boxes" is made.

Well, he surely meant the monetary value of them. When you bring in how 'valuable' a item is specifically to you, then things will get hairy and extremely varied on a person to person basis. However, when talking monetary value, most collectors do probably know how much they're worth--whether they find them to be 'valuable' or not. Maybe 'all' shouldn't have been said, and maybe we're all getting just a bit too hung up in semantics.

I had no idea (and I also couldn't care less about owning something like that), but it sure as hell ain't worth groaning about. If an empty box becomes valuable, then so be it. Stranger things have happened...

Check out the one for MvC2. That thing is worth a ridiculous amount of money!

 
I'm going to make a custom label for a blank disc to put in my case. Pointless? Sure. But that way nobody can call it an empty box. That title is reserved for an exgirlfriend. Hay-oh!

OMG, please give it a rest. Go somewhere else with your trolling.

fuck off. I'm not trolling. I'm just trying to understand the value others see in something I find extremely trivial.

Well, that's the thing, as you can see from Wiggy's post, I'm not the only collector that hardly knew these things existed, much less the "value" of them. The suggestion that these items are well known and part of mainstream collecting is not something I agree with. And I'm not bitching about them or groaning over them, I'm just honestly curious what the appeal of owning these is. Far be it from me to criticize someone on what they want to collect, but is it a crime to ask them why?

No one has really given me a straight answer. People have told me that the box is not completely empty, but weren't very forthcoming about the voucher or pin being what they valued. Especially seeing as the MvC2 box, had no pin (from what I understand) and a lot of people are keeping these boxes sealed. I was also told that they can sell for quite a bit, which is also not an answer as to why a collector would personally want one of these as part of their collection.

The case and artwork itself is imo what to collect. Even with physical disc ce what's the point. Game disc itself have very little value. If it is the game you want to collect then might as well get an used regular or disc only. I have little interest in the ducktale case but I do have the mvc2 case still sealed. The same day I also purchased the digital copy off psn.
 
Let's just agree to disagree that the item may or may not be a collector's dream, but there's a chance it may be valuable, which is why people are collecting them. ;D

 


Latest pickups! Basically most of what I've been getting in as of late.

Have almost everything NHK now, just missing that elusive Volume 6 dvd. And majority of the NHK and Battle Royale manga were from a fellow CAG, just had to order a couple issues to complete them. And also ordered Lovely Complex, and got Negima and Scrapped Princess in a trade.

Very happy overall, just need to find the time for all of it!

Quality picks ups right there. I loved nhk and also have every volume of the manga and that same collectors edition boxset. I wasnt paying $200+ for volume 6, so i just got the second half of the season since i hate save editions.Also lovely complex, excellent choice as well.

 
My pickup today. posting cuz they both deserve more attention!
