Here are the pictures he emailed me:

I had recently being talking with Dion on Ebay about purchasing an cart from him (did not do it, wanted too much) but he sent me a lengthy message that I will post below. He comments about how Serious Collectors of this board use his service to authenticate carts and I wanted to find out if this was true or not.

EBay Message:

I never take anything personally or as an attack.
NeoGeoFreak/NGF-USA was the only authorized distributor of neogeo aes consumer items in the usa from 1996-2001. We helped sites like neeogeo.com get started when he first got into collecting and when he first started selling aes cartridges.

During the past few years many aes cartridges have been counterfeited/reproduced. All games from NeoGeoFreak are sold with full authentication and serious collectors want their carts authenticated. All the serious collectors that own a KoF2000 have sent in their cart for authentication. Check the NeoGeoFreak facbook page and see all the various pics.

You can also check out threads at neo-geo.com: KoF2000 authentication explained, NeoGeoFreak answers and history, and many more. Check out assemblergames for the NeoGeoFreak thread (almost 1 million views with tons of pics and questions answered.
Also do a youtube search for Dion Dakis to see video interviews explaining many things during our time as exclusive neogeo aes distributor. There is also a video about authentication to help you get a better understanding.

Lastly, don't be fooled by a few negative comments from a few sour members at those neo forums. The people who complain are childish and they just want to start drama and trouble. Most members at that site don't even have a neo collection.

Members like 8man, Mahesak, Stefano, etc... "the serious collectors" all deal/dealt with NeoGeoFreak. We also made many more exclusive licensed releases of games previously unavailable on aes: Bang Bead, Bust-a-Move, Diggerman, Irritating Maze, ZedBlade, Zupapa.

thank you,
Dion Dakis

For me, I have 2 KOF2000 English in original and decided to send one back to NGF(Dion) for making authentication. I got very professional done from Dion and Chris for processes and very pleased. Dion sent every processes of my KOF2000 in authentication update information until the date he sent back to me. No any fee or service.

This is my experience of KOF2000 English authentication that I got from NGF and feel very pleased in their professional

For the other, I don't know and can't let any comments

Regards,
Saad

What does the authentication do for you? does it raise the price or does it just make you feel better that someone said it is real?

not asking to be an ass, trying to understand.

If you're too stupid to not see this for what it is (a sleazy upsale tactic), then you're just the kind of person they're looking for.

They're fishing for people dumb enough to buy their product, then getting their information for a later sale.

You people need to be saved from yourselves.

I don't think for price raise or show my copy is legit because I bought from trust seller who bought at the time first released but I like the certificate of authentication and sticker of limited number ....

People are not same and have different thought for collection so anything you feel pleased, do it with your thought. I don't send my both KOF2000 English back to authentication because I thought one is enough.

Yes, I know and tried to read many thread here. But I had done only KOF2000 English and I can tell what I got from them with honestly. I know what people got and said here. So I must said my experience about KOF2000 English only .... The other I can't let any comments.

"That site totally sucks! Those guys are petty, but look there for information that we posted or for proof of how awesome we are!"

I expect nothing more from some one who assaulted a defenseless kid.

Every few years some new kid finds their way onto the NGF minefield and "KA-BOOM".

And just like every time before, I'll gladly sit on the sidelines relaxing in my lawn chair with a cold one and some snacks enjoying the fireworks.

Only those people who have the need to pay a few grand for an "authentic" english insert and manual (both ink-jetted pieces of papers) need deal with them. To be honest, unless you're extremely rich ( have money to throw away), have collector's OCD, and want bragging rights... there really is no good reasons to deal with these guys.

You gotta ask yourself: "... am I a SERIOUS enuff collector to fuck wit deez NGF guyz?"

Only a few are...

Dion really is fascinating. He's half video game geek and half Jersey-shore guido.

This pic is the best thing NGF related. The Jose Canseco Milkshake regimen in full effect. It is so wonderfully homoerotic and should be a Choaniki boss. Photoshoppers, please make it so.

I read "come here and let me lube your piston" and started laughing while my wife is sitting behind me playing Puzzle Bobble (thanks, Shadow!). Now she thinks I was laughing at her shitty skills.
