I'd be interested in both box & manual scans of Pop n' Twinbee if you don't mind scanning them!

i'll be scanning them anyway but I wish to flatten the box overnight. The box is a bit stiff and refuses to cooperate.
i'll make a note to send a pm to you when i'm finished.

Had a couple shipments sent to me - last week was Chiller in box with a couple other random games and just today I got 4 GBA Pokemon games. Very happy with these, I've been looking for Chiller for a very very long time at a decent price. Collecting horror games is what eventually lead me to collecting in general. The Pokemon boxes aren't in the best shape but there are no tears on them, only some slight creasing as if they were at the bottom of a stack for a very long time.

Just as a point of interest, those boxes look to be fake. Especially fire red, sapphire and emerald.

Now that you mention it...fire red had a "inlcudes wireless adapter" graphic in the lower right corner.  Something just feels off about that corner.  I can't remember that far back if it was a sticker or printed on the box.  Never seen a non greatest hits version without the image.  Or without something else (like the rating) in that corner.

I bought a whole heap of fakes for cheap not too long ago, and the boxes all look identical to the ones I received. Fire red is missing the adapter sticker for example. Ruby looks more legit as it is the way the fake box is made, however the 'shiny effect' used on the boxes is a dead give away. At least that's not how they were in Australia.

How much did that cost you? And how much does it cost to make such a game? I'm very interested.

Man, if I could go back 25 years I would kick myself into keeping the boxes for all these games.  Had no idea I wold actually care so much about them now.

Yup, that's why they're worth anything at this point. I thank my mother for my hoarder-like mentality when it comes to holding on to packaging. Never threw away a single box :)
