I recently stumbled upon this video with Pat the NES Punk in it that touches on a weird story about eBay and a seller with 30 suspicious EarthBound cartridges. If you haven’t heard of this before, here’s the video (strong language warning, BTW):
Somehow this story sounds familiar but it’s a fuzzy, hazy memory to me. If anyone has more details, lemme know in the comments! (Knowing my brain, I probably did report on it before but totally forgot about it 😛 )

He should’ve gone into more detail or at least showed exactly where that little white text was. I couldn’t find it on the pictures. The only difference I saw was that the real cart had a red stripe on the top-right and the fake one didn’t.
There was/is a concerted effort to flood the market with hundreds of fake Earthbound carts.
…I was expecting, like, a 30-minute discussion. xD But it was just the one guy talking the whole time and it ended abruptly lol.
@BusterTheFox He’s Pat the NES Punk, most famous for his NES game reviews. “Completely Unnecessary Podcast” is a regular podcast him and his friend Ian do where they rant about gaming-related stuff for like an hour or two at a time.
I’m sure this is just a segment.

So much fad crap with collecting anymore. Forums flock to items hyped as “the next EarthBound” and EB carts are still being hoarded. It’s a real shame to see people bootlegging this and other $100+ games. Prices and general hype/speculation have died down a little since 2012, but we still have a ways to go until this ends.
I cannot recommend Pat the NES punk enough. If you even remotely like retro games, then you need to check him out.
I thought it was interesting that he even picked up this story. I think the moral here is virtual console that bad boy and leave the e-bay cart swapping to the re-sellers. BTW. Re-sellers have no soul.
Whoa!! I own 30 of these!
