zombi Posted December 17, 2012 miko508 said:zombi, it seems you and I have additional shared history. Today, I did some research on my sealed copy of Mario Paint. Well, it is indeed a small world after all, because I now own the exact copy of Mario Paint that you once owned. http://i45.tinypic.com/2hmk2l2.jpg Notice the dent on the front of the box near the top right corner. I came across a post you made a few months ago on a different forum. What a coincidence! Wait....what? On which forum? That actually wasn't one that I owned, it was a copy I was interested in buying. I think I posted those pics from a Craiglist listing. Small world either way.

miko508 Posted December 17, 2012 I saw the post you made on the other forum about the game, and I assumed you owned it. It's still a cool coincidence! 0 Share this post Link to post
zombi Posted December 27, 2012 Finally got my Saturn Doom back from grading. It got a 90! :) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom_saturn_vga_front3_zps8e2c88a2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom_saturn_vga_back_zps9b58e65f.jpg and... a sealed copy of Doom / Wolfenstein 3D Shareware Combo Pack: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom_wolf_shareware_pc_front_zpscd33566f.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom_wolf_shareware_pc_back_zps94de3c23.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post
miko508 Posted December 28, 2012 zombi, I have the same boxed shareware in multiple seal variations. This box originally came with an overlapping seal on the back. I'll post pictures when I am done with work for the night. See my new thread, "Selling My Possibly Re-Sealed Doom Shareware." The one I am selling and the one you have are, unfortunately, re-sealed. I'm selling mine as "Like New," because the box looks like its never been opened. 0 Share this post Link to post
miko508 Posted December 29, 2012 Here are some photos to supplement my previous post: The one I believe to be authentic http://i48.tinypic.com/350trwh.jpg - Notice the overlapping plastic http://i49.tinypic.com/4q0okz.jpg - Notice no seam on the edges The one I believe to be re-sealed http://i45.tinypic.com/2q8snqr.jpg - Notice NO overlapping plastic http://i48.tinypic.com/231d2b.jpg - Notice the presence of a seam on the edges I spoke with VGA (Kim) about this, as I did not want to send in both copies and possibly lose money. Kim informed me that since the seal variations are so different, one would certainly be found to be re-sealed. I am posting this information in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. I don't want any of us to send in these games to VGA and have them rejected! In such cases, they rightfully keep the fee (as it is their business to determine what is authentic and what is not). Any ideas on what is going on here? 0 Share this post Link to post
miko508 Posted December 29, 2012 Oh yeah, the Saturn Doom looks amazing! Congratulations on the high grade! 0 Share this post Link to post
zombi Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks! This baby came in the mail today :) Sealed Doom 2! Not good enough to spend the money on grading it (which is going to be a tall order), but still a great find anyway! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom2_pc_front3_zps82126c9e.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/trioxin/Video%20Game%20Collection/doom2_pc_back_zpsf9ac1b87.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post

miko508 Posted February 27, 2013 My Doom shareware came back from VGA today! Here is a photo, as promised: http://tinypic.com/r/3151thc/7 I'm always impressed with the overall quality of VGA's cases. 0 Share this post Link to post
miko508 Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks! Being a fellow collector of sealed Doom games, I knew you'd appreciate it. As a side note, the copy of Mario Paint that was referenced earlier in this thread came back from VGA with a grade of 80. Once I have additional graded Doom games, I'll be sure to share. It may be a while, as I have a few games that are next in line to be graded (like GoldenEye 007 & System Shock 2). Lastly, your graded copy of Final Doom looks amazing! 0 Share this post Link to post
