No prob.

Something I forgot to mention about this specific issue is that the gold ink actually contains metallic elements (hence why it's metallic gold :P), and because of that it CANNOT be absorbed by the paper that it's printed on.  So, that means it's forever floating on the surface of the paper, waiting for some greasy fingers to essentially just rub it off.  Now if Nintendo hadn't gotten all cheap-ass on us and used dye sublimation...

learn something new everyday.. haha

the one cart must of got the hell fingered outta it.. my PC version i've had since i bought it new looks perfect.. but i've always tried not to touch the labels on my games :D

cheap bastards anyhow.. lol

Hey, I could use scans of these games, The covers on the site are crap for most of them, others have no cover.

ahhhh wish I had a scanner! If I did I'd totally do it.
Take a good photo with good lighting, better than nothing. I could with that.

Got this lot for about 20 €, which was good considering nowadays you have to pay around that for just Super Mario Kart.

Actually the Japanese version of CT is more common than the US version and isn't as expensive (I payed around $10 for my copy). That was one of the first games I picked up along with the Japanese version of FF6 (even though I don't own a Super Famicom and have no way of playing it on my PAL SNES).

Yeah, I have the US version of Chrono Trigger too (it was never released as PAL version here in europe). But it was a part of the package so I took it, you can never have too many Chrono Triggers! My SNES is modded so it will play NTSC/PAL and SFC carts so no problems with functionality.

Unfortunately Europe didn't get any Chrono love until the DS version in 2009.

WOW!  Amazing deal on the Duo.  Wish I could find one at that price.

Who did you get it from?  Just curious because I've seen some go for roughly that price, but the 70+ dollar shipping is what turns me off typically (even though I understand that's just how much it costs).

Ok, truth be known. I did win it for $107 but I had to pay $70 for shipping... Sheesh Wiggy.... Mr. Detective!  :'( I am happy none the less, as there's no regional lock out for CD based games.

Hit-japan? 

Sorry, wasn't trying to rain on your parade at all.  I've been hunting for a long time too, so I know what's out there and what to expect typically ;)
