It was me, I admit it. I rub my face against it gently every night. I try not to cry on it, though. ;_;

they obviously have no idea what theyre talking about, theyre comparing the box to panzer dragon saga and various even less rare videogames, PDS had a printrun well in the ten-thousands for every region, id be surprised if the initial ammount of guwange boxes printed even went into the thousands, not to mention how many are still around now almost a decade later concidering the interests of the demographic.

it would be more fair to compare it in terms of rarity to NWC carts or the cream of the AES catalogue (and even that is a bit excessive)..

Sven's right actually. Better gallery pic and longer auction and it would've got more even.

That should have come with a NSFW warning Dale. My legs are shaking just thinking about the paper cuts I could get of that last one....
