Thanks to girlracer I was able to snag a CIB Jerry Rice and Nitus's Dog Football off of eBay for $10 shipped. It's not worth a lot, yet, but most people I've run into have never heard of it either.

Thought id point out a game i would consider a hidden gem, although its not Rare or Valuable and is probably overlooked due to its previous installments, and being published by Disney.

People are relating it to Kingdom Hearts/KOTOR/Pokemon in reviews, so i think its worth picking up, and can be found for under $10.

Definitely agree with you on that one, that game does have it's quirks but it's a really worthy title to track down(though I would never pay more than $30 if i was going to try to find another copy). Though boy they aren't far off in the KH and Pokemon realms on that one since there are some very obvious ties to those. Too bad it didn't become a bigger hit than it did despite all the promotion that disney did on it and the DS titles back when it came out...

Yeah Disney was hoping Spectrobes would be a "Pokemon Killer". They are solid games but they definitely fell short of that goal quite a bit. The DS games are dirt cheap as well talking $1-$2 and they used to be pretty plentiful at GS they were also $5 new on Amazon for quite a while. Think altogether it cost me around $15 to get the entire series CIB.

Kind of reminds me of another series which had two portable titles before getting a Wii title Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga. I've never gotten around to playing it but it looks interesting and was under $10 when I picked it up at game stop a year or so back.

Ya forgot to capitalize the other S. It's like MetallicA, the word needs capitals on both ends. ;)

That's an extremely good deal. I played Masters and it was decent. Right now I have a mint CIB copy of '11, but I was thinking of selling it about buying both 10 and 12 for maximum course variety. Altough there is some chatter about the putting being tweaked for the worse in 12 relative to 11.

Plenty of titles are slowly reaching up to valuable status. I think Xenoblade Chronicles is already one of the very valuable games.

Eh, it's been holding steady at about $60 used ever since the reprint two years back.
