I seriously doubt that they'll hold any value. But time will tell...

Most consoles were market-swampers to some degree or another when they were young and (more importantly) on sale...

If nothing else, they'll be worth more than the vanilla Xbox Ones!

Standard XB1 will be nothing down the road, but a new, in box, unopened Day One Edition Xbox One may be a nice addition to a collection in a decade or so.  I like my items to be valuable, but I don't sell my collection.  I just like knowing what I have is worth something.

Picked up these today. One of the online shops I'm following is closing soon, so they're doing nice sales.



Factory sealed, all 4 pokemon ones for 20€ total.
Now, I've noticed the part where these go, GBA Video is all messed up and the covers there seem to be of pretty low quality.
Anyone mind fixing me up with some redone ones? :D

Mine are from a local shop, All my labels are fine as is. I try to avoid altering games as much as possible. I might add a english label to KoF 96, but only if I can find an easy way to keep the original label intact for when I go to sell it.

Well in the case of Puzzled and Panic Bomber, those labels have already been altered so if anything you only be trying to restore those labels to a more original state. Those are just very simple replacement labels you'll find often enough on MVS carts that no longer have the original labels on them anymore (like the bunch I got). I believe their most likely carts that were probably serviced at some point in time and the original labels were destroyed in the process.

Here's what an original Puzzled and Panic Bomber label should look like:

Cool if your fine with them as is. I just cant stand the look of the generic labels next to the originals. ;)

This generation, yes. Last generation, not at all.

In no way would printing out and adding anything make it closer to original state. Leaving disrespectful comments really doesn't help restore its authenticity either. Ill try talking down to some old genesis carts with torn labels to verify that though.

I don't think Chad means any disrespect. That's not really his thing. I think he was just clarifying his stance on the subject.

Didn't see de disrespect, he just make an opinion based on what you told, that you would like to remake one without damaging the "original", he just clarified that those weren't originals and add scans of ones that are to let you know how they look. And make an opinion on his part that he can't stand generic next to originals, but that's hid opinion.

Think he was really trying to help ;)

I meant no disrespect what so ever! I'm sorry if you felt that way. ???

Like wiggy said, I was only trying to clarify my point. When you said "All my labels are fine as is. I try to avoid altering games as much as possible.", I wasn't sure if that meant you didn't want to replace those labels because maybe that's how you thought they should be. I just wanted to point out what the original labels should look like if you did want to replace them back to a more original state, seeing as how the labels were already altered in the first place.
