As a collector of old video games, I hate when my have names on them SO dUCKING MUCH!!JSADklsadfasd kas'i p3

lol, I actually prefer to buy them like that. I remove the old sticker and make a new at officemax, makes it look brand new ;)

why would you even?

Because it increases the resale value, and looks better, and it's a hobby.

Why would you even not?

No collector wants to buy a NES cartridge that has a reprinted sticker.

Unless it's done really well. I don't just print out a sh!tty JPEG onto regular printer paper. I use top-notch stuff, the stuff the actual factories used to use to print theirs. Restoring old games (cartridge-based ones) is a hobby of mine, I make sure I do it carefully.

[Rapt0r]

I don't care if the reprint is perfect. The fact of the matter is a reprint is a reprint.

[timfoss]

Well, you're free to have your opinion. Most collectors however are fine with restored cartridges, as long as it's done professionally.

I think you have a different definition of "collector"

So if I take the original Mona Lisa and repaint parts of it, it's worth more? Good advice.

Not a valid comparison, since he's taking a shtty/ripped/written on label and makes a new one.

I'm with Vedi on this one btw. If I bought a game with a goodlookin glabel and it turns out to be areprint, I'd feel screwed.

Why don't I just build my own NES chips and cartridges that look EXACTLY like the originals, flash them with the rom, and start selling them? I could make so much money selling these to collectors as they obviously love this stuff.

You're fight is the most lawly thing in thread so far. I'm sorry to break the combo.

Would you be happier with a print that had someone elses name on it?

As long as it's original, it's way better than a reprint. What you guys just don't seem to understand is: If you use a reprint, it loses value for a collector.
Since it's no longer the original.
The Derp is strong in here, I can almost taste it.
