People collect balltops now? Games you can't play due to fear of insertion marks. Manuals that can't be touched without gloves. Inserts removed and stored away in a dark place. Balltops you don't use and put on display in a plexiglass case. I can't even imagine what shit people will come up with next.
You should know I'm the least person to ever accuse of not playing games on here. Those balltops DESERVE to be protected as a collection since they are water transferred and can wear down over time, Balltops are not games, all versions of all balltops are readily available for nothing really, EXCEPT these. I wanted to make a collection as a display since I have 6 candy cabs and that area is dedicated to them.
Ebinsugewa, pretty much wrong. Research your stuff before you drop opinions just based on a lack of knowledge.
Lachlan, no clue what you are talking about. These were made to be limited runs, what exists is out there and that is it. I've tried getting a strawberry cherry forever, it has never once come up for sale and I'd have no issue dropping 100$ for one when one does appear.
There are a few versions of the meshballs, which aren't mass produced, but more readily available, yet still expensive. For the record I have two x black-white-grey, and 2 x rainbow swirl on my candy cabs. If I see the water transfer wear off them even slightly, I'm swapping them for generics.
I love how people go off topic with just flat out uneducated and bad examples of things, like worthless cam locks you can buy by the dozen. These are a different thing entirely and extremely difficult to find or source. My two original red and green meshballs I paid 50$ each for. Sound crazy? Guess what. Nobody has them for sale anywhere, and I was very lucky to source two off of here from someone who was even cool enough to sell.
