What is the Single RAREST Item In Your Collection?

[Baloo]

Nope but we bought a ton from Mike Etler At ~$6 each. Mike Gedeon sold plenty at flee markets. I kept a couple cases for years. I might still have a case left but I think I just ended up trading all but a single copy over the years.

You are one lucky guy then. Those games are worth what, $300 complete apiece? For $6 that's quite a steal. How many did you get estimate?

My rarest game would probably be my pirated copy of Bare Knuckle 3 for the Mega Drive. Bought it years ago thinking it was a legit copy and because of that game it made me learn all I could about pirate hardware/software.

Sega Saturn Kiosk

(that is not mine but i have the same exact one)
it is in excellent shape. got it off craigslist for 50 bucks, super nintendo and turtles 4 turtles in time (snes).
I thought it was a steal
BTW, how much do you think it's worth?

Someone just tried to sell one of these on Sega-16 and couldn't get more that a little over $100 for it.

I'd say that my rarest retro gaming item is my MIB Turbo Grafx. That's a rare enough item on it's own merits, but the version I have is the limited release in the special Christmas season box that was used for one year only.

I think I had either 2 or 3 cases of six so either 12 or 18. I think Mike Gedeon bought ~100 of them.

Funny thing is of the 2 of us he has none left and I know I have atleast one left.

Just caught up with the conversation.

Suddenly, now I know why Cheetahmen II appears all the time in Orlando (which is where I live). I didn't know Active had a warehouse here. I know of 4 copies of Cheetahmen II that were sold in the area in the past year - I own a loose copy, one of the local storeowners bought a NIB for $600 (he also has a sealed Flintstones...), and another one was sold CIB for $300. I'm not quite sure where the 4th one went. Interesting backstory on that one, buyatari.

[nogard0]

my rarest WOULD have been video life and magic card for atari 2600

had to move out in 2006 leaving 400+ 2600 carts

plus 15 game consoles from odyssey 1 to n64 - 1000+ carts in all
many 2600 prototypes (like unfinished xevious for 2600), betas, atari loaner carts, one of a kind, rare, and some homebrew).

[WildWillyWilson]

Twinkle Tale for the Jap MD is the rarest thing I have at the moment.

[b0ub0u]

My "rare" games, all mint and complete and original version (black label etc..), some of those are not that "rare", but still hard to find in good condition and complete.
- Radiant Silvergun (+ registration card)
- Border Down Limited Edition
- Earthbound (super mint, no sticker on the box, still has un-scratched manual)
- Ikaruga DC
- Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, FFII, FFIII, R-Type 3, Dracula X
- Valkyrie Profile, FF VII, Xenogears, Dragon Warrior VII
- Contra Force
- Cosmic Smash
- Zelda limited edition Gamecube
- Dragon Warrior I, II, III and IV

I am not sure, other I have may be "rare" too, but nothing comes to mind right now

I could be wrong but I don't think a single copy of CM II was sold by Active Enterprises. Mike Etler bought the entire run and even assembled them and shrikwrapped the boxes. This was somewhere in the mid-late 90s till the stock ran out. You would have to ask him for exact dates.

Anyway you being close to the headquarters should have nothing to do with it. Other than Florida having many flee markets and early on many flee market vendors bought CMII from Etler (New Jersey) and sold them at the markets because he was selling them so cheap.
