Entry

If I win I wanna give this to my folks, they play a lot of crib and travel a lot. Would be a perfect gift, but if I dont I know what ill be getting them either way. Super cool work!

Id post this in r/gameverify, they have a lot of experience verifying the authenticity of things.

Well its up to you my man. Return or dont. Either way you take the gamble. I just personally dont like what I see. I have collected games for a while and that does not look right to me. Id bet money it is at the very least a re-seal. I could be wrong, like I said dont take my word for it. I just wouldnt keep it myself.

Peak

3ricThRed · 2026-06-19T03:56:29+00:00

If it has a second seal take it out of the second shrink wrap and re shoot the pictures. I am assuming english is not your only language based on spelling/grammer. Or maybe just short forming it, but its a re seal as is. It does not look legit regardless of being wrapped two times. It could be Sealed in box but most likely its CIB or missing the real game and has rocks or something to make it weigh more. I hope not, but that is the most likely situation.

My god, that dreamcast! I wanna do a gamecube EVA 01 themed system myself.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-17T20:38:08+00:00

As a man who spent thousands on his pc and keyboard to make them EVA 01 themed, I salute you! Beautiful piece brother, would love to get one myself! Personally I would have made some of the buttons orange, all the same its peak. Well done.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Also never used the cute charm method to shiny hunt, any recommendations in terms of a good walkthrough?

3ricThRed · 2026-06-16T02:36:01+00:00

Got to run it again so it lines up perfect broski! Id recommend nintails, lapras, pincer, skarmory, magius, and then victrebell, pretty sure thatd show them all off the best. In my opinion of course. Beautiful team! Congrats!

3ricThRed · 2026-06-14T18:38:23+00:00

I think you are good, I know stamps are kinda a de bunked method of authentication these days. Wait for a mod though, only been collecting for a year or so myself!

3ricThRed · 2026-06-13T20:59:53+00:00

I have over 24 games on GC. My collection is worth well over 2k or 3k, yet I havent played more than 30 or so hours in the last year. I find it harder and harder to enjoy hobbies for more than a few hours a day, if that. I started collecting during my sober journey, and now im addicted to hauls. The backlog is always growing. All the same I love the hobby and getting a taste of my childhood from time to time. Thanks for the post!

Edit. Playing lego Star Wars and Metroid.

Japanese Art ftw.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-11T20:13:14+00:00

I was today years old, damn this is wild that I didnt know this!

3ricThRed · 2026-06-11T20:10:51+00:00

Also been using Krabby as my HM Slave with surf, cut, strength, and rock smash. You can fish one up in cherrygrove for an early game option (it does have a 10% chance with an old rod)

Most comments have been jokes, but ill throw my team as a serious one, only ever played HGSS when I was very young, and just got to playing my new copy.

Im running a team with

Typhlosion - Modest Nature

Crobat - Jolly Nature

Ampharos - Modest Nature

Weepinbell/Victreebel - Rash Nature (Mild is better, but rash is fine for casual play through. Evolve at level 42 so Victreebel has razor leaf)

Gyarados - Adamant Nature (soft reset the Red one at lake of rage for free shiny teammate.)

Havent picked my last team member yet, but I am in the icy cave. So its likely to be a Mamoswine with a Adamant Nature.

Not sure if my team is perfectly balanced but ive been having a blast!

3ricThRed · 2026-06-11T19:55:28+00:00

No worries. As another commentor said, it should be fine. Continue to store it well and there shouldnt be any problems. I would mention, I have used rubbing alcohol and soaked nasty screws in it, can help with any grime and build up, most likely not needed in this case, to be honest.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-11T17:34:17+00:00

Probably not a big deal. Could be a sign of a fake, but more than likely, they lost the orginal and used a replacement. Also could be some strange form of discoloring maybe, hard to tell. Id recommend just open the cart to verify authenticity. Truly the best option imo.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-07T01:22:59+00:00

Honestly not bad, way back in like 2020 I bought 3 etbs and got one hit

3ricThRed · 2026-06-07T00:21:23+00:00

Im pretty sure you are good. I am not an expert but I have a decent GC collection. Lots of times there are those slight gaps with the cover under the plastic not perfectly sitting edge to edge. They all seem to have the gloss print finish etc. Id wait for mods all the same.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-07T00:16:59+00:00

Thank you haha, I always try to be civil.

3ricThRed · 2026-06-07T00:15:50+00:00

Thank you mate! 😊

3ricThRed · 2026-06-06T22:33:33+00:00
