Which is more accurate Nintendo Age or Rarity Guide? Or is there another that could help me figure out which games are the most rare. I get that its largely subjective and basically ebay driven but any help would, well, help. Thanks |

rarity guides only go so far, so look at 2+, and if they disagree, average them out of assume the one that says yours is easier to find is the correct one. If it's just nes games, really I don't even bother with rarity lists, if it's not something like dinosaur peek it's not rare. But not being rare isn't the same as not being with something; SMB3 is very common, but work some. Zelda is also very common, and in very high demand. |

I think I have a better grip on NES than on SNES. Im trying to figure out which games would have better long term collectability not just value. For example, would a CIB Ardy Lightfoot be more sought after than a rare CIB fighting game, shooter or strategy game. See what I mean? |

A rare game doesn't mean it's valueable, and a valuable game doesn't make it rare. |
| Thom Grayson:
Demand seems to equal collectible more often than rarity does on its own. Super Smash Bros. for instance? Almost always expensive, and yet was one of the better selling games on the N64. I'm not sure that answers your question in any way, but that's often how collecting works - a quality collection is often different from a 'rare' collection. |
