After buying a NIB Stern , I could not dish out 5k-10k for B/W & DE pinnies after owning a pristine new pinnie that have better gameplay than most B/W titles and Im talking about purchases like LOTR LE, TRON LE, TSPP, SM etc
I just couldnt look at my B/W pinnies in the same way and let them go to fund NIB purchases
You open a NIB , everything is fresh including the smell,there is no comparison.
Saying this though there are many B/W A titles that I would like to own again but in fully restored condition!!
