** 2014 Update **
I'm in "beta" mode with my Authentication Program.
I can verify most fakes from high-res photos, but the fakes are getting better.
I have already verified 5+ AES fakes, and the scary part, one of the fakes had a real manual. So, some counterfeiters are now including at least 1 real element, and the rest of the parts are not legit.
To be 100% positive, I need to verify your game in person using my high-end loupe and graphics knowledge. I have a professional background in producing ultra high-res graphics using loupes, negatives, film, plates and offset printing. (SNK used offset printing). I will also compare your game to an original 100% legit AES game (from my complete AES library).
To get started, contact me via e-mail:
SNKauthentication@comcast.net
(my neo-geo.com PM box gets too full, too fast)
You have to pack the games well, and ship them to me.
Once I inspect and authenticate your games, I will contact you and let you know how much the return shipping is.
Since I'm in "beta" your games will be documented and registered in my database.
And, as a bonus, all the elements of your game will also be professionally graded:
Case, Insert, Manual, Cart, Sticker, and baggie.
Once I go full public, your will receive all the paperwork and be able to view the database.
I'm working with FedEx now to get discounts on shipping for you guys.
It may take a while, because they base discounts on shipping volume.
