I've never been a presentational type. Suggestions welcome.
You should recognise a few that have been through your paws Eric!

Yes, I especially like your nice NOS Headache, NOS CGL Ball, and PS Mickey Mouse. Don't see too many of those in such sweet condition. Actually, Jason and I were scrambling to get that NOA Crab Grab, NOA Spitball, and PS MCF from the guy on ebay. Then, suddenly someone stole them out from under us! Now we know who it was. Did they actually have all the paperwork and batteries inside? He refused to open them to check the content, because he said they wouldn't be valuable anymore. LOL

Good question Ash, did they really have all the paperwork inside, and he told me the same thing about the value. Jason

I thought you'd retired Alan, and then you come out with all these beauties. Lovely Headache, and a very nice Flagman there. The NOS NOA Spitball Sparky and Crab Grab are probably the best ones I've ever seen. It'll be great to see you in PS Chart soon. How many is that now? Jason

Hi Guys
Me, retired? No, certainly not. I buy/sell/trade alot less these days on ebay, but still collecting whenever possible. It's just so hard to find improvements these days, there' hardly anything out there (presumably coz Jason has them all!). I reckon I get a new game/upgrade every six months or so.
I'm fascinated by why there is such a low availability of properly nice g&w out there...I'm sure it's slowed down since I've been collecting. Or is it just that my standards have gotten higher?? Maybe a subject for it's own thread, as I have a couple of theories of my own.
The NOA spitball is absolutely perfect, but the crab grab has some small edge wear on it. The cement factory, bar a knock on the back, is also really nice. And yes, they have all the batteries/paperwork. I never nabbed them, just asked the guy to get back to me if the deals he'd got fell through, which he then did later. He was quite nervous, but actually a very nice guy.
Good memory Eric: you should recognise the purple judge too. And if Jarko's out there, ditto the NOA parachute!

Oh, I should also say anyone out there who has anything to offer that will improve the collection, do mail me. It's the usual suspects I'm afraid (Flagman, Rain Shower, DK circus) but a better Pano Popeye should surely be out there...

Good memory Eric: you should recognise the purple judge too. And if Jarko's out there, ditto the NOA parachute! Yes, Jason has them all. It is getting a lot harder to find any nice NOS Game & Watch these days. But keep your eyes open. Glad to hear the NOA games were in fact NOS with all paperwork/batteries. I was a little hesitant when he refused to open them. Did he feed you the same line that they wouldn't be valuable anymore if he opened them? I do recognize the Purple Judge. Also the 1st Ed Ball, low serial Ball without a Model No., and PS Fire.

Maxim: merci beaucoup!
Eric: Yes he did say that, but I think he checked after the auction went wrong. I think he was genuinely nervous he would ruin the game if he opened them.
