Sure thing man! Definitely a pleasure to meet you as well and hangout! Here's to the next con we can hangout again! Let me know what you think of International Winter Sports when you get around to it!
I think I'm going to have to try to start trading some extras out of my collection... not to fund other stuff, but just to make some room. Great video! It was a pleasure to meet you at SEGE. Thank you for being so kind and welcoming. I really enjoyed the format of this video. You set forth some stakes at the beginning and had us all rooting for your success. I was hooked all the way through

It’s definitely a good way to off some things from a collection (even for space sake). It was great meeting you too (still need to catch up on your latest video)! Glad you really enjoyed this video and format, and that it immersed you to root for my challenge! Thanks again man!
I felt so bad about the mix up and I am so happy you sold it. I have no doubt that it went to a good home, and I'm glad you are the one who ended up with it❤

Such a successful trip and amazing convention!! The look of excitement when you obtained Gotcha Force was priceless! It is clear this game is going to a great home with someone who truly appreciates the value of these GameCube games. I also hope to see a custom GCG GameCube get made that would be so cool to see for sale on the channel! The growth rate of GCG is incredible and so well deserved. I am excited to continue watching what the future brings for you on this channel as well as all of us fans!!

Seeing this in bits and pieces at the show was fun to be a part of, but the full scope of what you went through to both get the sales made and the elation when you got that Grail from Samantha was so awesome to experience the full spectrum of. Your editing on this video was stellar, my friend! Perfect pacing, great use of music, and excellent b-roll. Can't wait to see you again down the road!

Jay you nailed it, bud! I’m wrapping up my SEGE video (finally) and keep coming back to this one to learn from. Marcello gives a masterclass here in pacing, b-roll, clever shots, and all-around fantastic storytelling. I have *MUCH* to learn! Especially about controlling the volume of my voice and those lav mics hahaha 😂
There’s such excitement with following you as you walk through these aisles. It takes me back to New York Comic Con days, with us hunting to play the latest demos of AAA titles coming out. Really enjoyable to see there are so many conventions going on across the country for retro enthusiasts.

I might have known about this lol. But nonetheless, this just shows how amazing the community is and how we all come together to support everybody else's holy grail "got to have it" musts in our collection. I know it will be well loved in your collection. Happy that it's yours now and happy that Saturn Steve also made this become reality. We may have filmed a video or better experience and I may have called him Sega Steve several times 😂😂😂. There was alcohol involved so it was not my fault 😂😂😂.

I see we both wear gold chains, #mafiagang this is definitely one of your better edited videos. Nice cuts, and great music selections. Nice to see you trying to sell some games too, that's always a cool idea to trade games for discounts or games. Oh hey look it's Mr. Resale with his cool drip. Cool to see your journey of trying to trade them. Those cassette tape holders are cool. Super stoked for you to get your holy grail, I know how much you've been hunting it and wanting it! What a great convention, I look forward to someday returning to SEGE.

Cool! A bit off-topic, but I found Halo Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and Final Fantasy I and II on PS1 in yard sale. Ended up getting a 1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to play Halo 5, Infinite, Spartan Assault and both Wars games which ended up being a buttload of games from Double Fine, Gears of War and Rare Ware.
