Title: Found- Power League Gold in Akiharbra
Post by: drsreym on October 20, 2011, 03:10:15 PM
Guys,

I have located a Power League Gold in Akiharbra loose. for 120,000 Yen or about $1600 USD. Anyone interested in it? I'm willing to pick it up for you for a small surcharge to cover the exchange/PayPal fees and ship it out to you. I can provide receipts showing the actual purchase price etc if interested.

This copy does not have the roster nor the original sleeve. this copy is just the game and is in good shape and has minimal scratching (very light hard to see) and the label does not seem to be faded.

I go home to USA on Sunday afternoon so let me know. If you miss me and I have already left I can let you know where I found it.

thanks,

Never heard of the gold version.  Can someone educate me?

Power League Gold or also known as All Star Power League was a free give away to contest winners. and only 100 to 200 were produced so its 5X - 10X rarer than Darius Alpha. One source claims 200 100 to the winners and another 100 to the media I have not been able to personally verify that the second 100.

Its actually listed on the site below as the #1 most expensive game in Akihabara. Last year I actually bought that specific copy listed at Super Potato and got a slight discount. The interesting part is i bought it about 10 days after the story was published and i never saw the story till a friend pointed it out to me months later.

Too bad the US $ exchange rate is so bad.  Cool of you to offer to pick it up though.
