I am going to become a hipster now that it is once again uncool to be a hipster.

(I plan to get right on it just as soon as I am done executing my Stadium Events hoax!)

I was using hipster as an insult before it was cool to insult hipsters.

Woah, there is more to the hoax?

... Admit it Prfsnl_Gmr, you are Shazam, aren't you? Trying to hype this game as being fake, so that the "mystery woman" (Also probably you) can take that $8 SE and dump it on the bay. Then, no one will think you only paid $8 for it, you can say you kept the fake copy to play, and everyone thinks you are super cool, raising your status to something even cooler than hipster.

It all makes sense. You yourself admitted that the find was in your state, which was the only fault in your brilliant scheme.

Did you seriously call me a Hipster in your first four posts?
I'm shocked too. Usually it happens within the first two.
Oh ho, good sir, but I am a geek! I have ever since I first climbed from the womb! From the days of my first film in theaters(Aliens) to the time of my first handheld video game(Batman: Return of the Joker)! From the time I was old enough to pick out my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt, up through when I learned a written language in Star Wars, learned to play Magic: The Gathering when Deckmaster was still making the game, and played my first tabletop game at the humble age of 12! I have always been a geek, am a geek, and will always be a geek! To call me a hipster is to insult me to the very core, because it is nothing but a poser to a cherished lifestyle that I enjoy!

Not just in my state...but in my home town! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I will not admit or deny anything, but I will say that it goes a lot deeper than that...a lot deeper...and it you know what's good for you, you will turn back before its too late...

Good on this woman! I like how she turned a profit instantly by being smart and recognizing what she saw. I would do the exact same thing.

Legendary Texas Longhorns coach Darrell K Royal once said "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Sums up this woman perfectly. Thumbs up to her!

Yeah how many of you would actually keep this for "collecting purposes"?

I hate to let games go, but an old sports game worth thousands? Bye bye.
