I know everybody hates it when someone posts something about N** but this is just too funny to pass up.

"The third category, which really is expensive, is the unreleased games. Since for a game like PI2, if you have the NGF insert and sticker applied it immediately becomes a $1200-$1400 cartridge, we do not sell these cheap. There are a tons of people that have scanned and reprinted our inserts to sell with thier carts, but the quality is horrid. You can never get a scan to took like the original, and the sticker is impossible to duplicate. It is another reason we have come up with the NGF stickers, to make sure the customer knows they are getting an original. There have been many people that have seen reproduced NGF inserts and commented on the poor quality(not understansing that what they are seeing is a repro). The only way to know if you are getting an original is to deal with NGF direct and make sure you see the NGF warrenty sticker. Anyway, an insert and sticker for PI2 would run $500. You could certainly make something to fill your box for much much cheaper, and I encourage the budget minded to do exactly that. Spending $500 would get you the true official insert and sticker, and NGF would go through and make sure the cart works and warrenty it for life(as long as the NGF warrenty sticker is applied). So you are getting alot of value. And a cart with a resale value of over $1200 and rising."

$500.00 for a piece of paper and sticker. Come on what are these guys smoking.

Dion and Chris are living in the future, because $500 is very inflated. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

LOL, actually, if you have a decent printer those
scans aint half bad. Not snk quality by any means, but hell for free there great.
The point they miss, is that their insert isnt really that much better.
Theirs are mainly scans of mvs templates put onto a template. Some are very creative, and they are a nice work.
Aint worth 500 to a collector though.
They've been trying to push that for along time.
A real colector wants snk authentic, & gamers only players just dont give a shit at all.
When its fan made, it can be cool. But trying to stick people for half a grand for somthing they print out for less than 20 is just sad. Every time someone shells out for one,
that ngf special becomes a little less rare anyway.
I dont think anything that they keep making could be considered rare.

I'll be selling PI2 for A LOT cheaper then 1200. The game does take 2 sac carts though and the MVS is getting harder and harder to find, but $500 for an insert and sticker?

Do not forget the one game (Ganryu, I believe?) where they stole cover art from Lone Wolf and Cub. No doubt they would try to say that they licensed it for use, but like everything they say, believe it to be a lie until it can be proven true.

For midrange quality color lasers or inkjets,
in that I agree.
If they were selling true original art, then i would disagree. Paintings, sketches, or even offset prints of artists work, I feel are always worth buying if I like them.
Alas, like biomotor mentioned, it's not their art to sell. Its just scans of other peoples work.
I never understood why they write their names on other people art as if they had made it.
Much less try & profit off it.

You know, PI2 was never released as an "Official AES Title" which means you have to destroy 2 out of print AES titles to make some dumbass collector happy. Buy a 2 slot MVS board and a Supergun plus the PI2 MVS and your set....

Indeed my friend...Indeed.. It's as easy as a two slot, a Jamma Harness,Power supply and an RGB Monitor.
We need more games published!!! A 3rd Party Game Maker...The Neo Geo NEEDS more games produced!!!

I once was interested of they're artwork. I wanted to buy PI2 and Strikers 1945 inserts. I offered 20US for the sticker and insert, each.
I still give them credit for they're artwork. Many of them look very good. I liked the "Diggerman" artwork as well, though, the game suck's penis.

This is one of the letters I received from Dion. This was now a while back, I think 6 months ago or so:


Yes, these were from SNK.
They never released them, but they still had artwork for all games.
Sometimes we change the insert around, but we generally keep the original
art.

It depends.
You will need the insert and sticker for both Strikers and PI2.
And you want 2 of each?

Well, those are the "BIG GAMES" and they are expensive.
We don't really sell the inserts for those games.
What do you offer?

Remember, the games sell for $1200 each.
So price the art accordingly.


thanks,
Dion http://members.aol.com/dkd4/dionsneo.html


With other words they want, yes, like 500US for they're artwork.... The *** brand makes the cart 10 even 20 times more valuable, they say.

Na, I passed. I could give MAX 30US for unofficial artwork! MAX.

I have never purchased anything from *** or Dion. And in fact, I even do not know them at all. This email was , like one out of 5 I got from them and that's it. I just tell this so that ppl understand, that, I do not want to be cool or to be associated with them in any way, when posting this..

Totally agree. I should even not replied to this topic.

Damn, If just some talented one can start to make inserts with quality print and sell them
for normal prices, I'd be very happy.

Attention, MVS inserts wanted, MVS inserts wanted, MVS inserts wanted!! *lol
