CGC Video Games has graded more than half the video games in the Dallas-Fort Worth Collection โ there are total games eligible for the pedigree โ but we want to grade them all! In April , CGC Video Games announced that it would be recognizing the Dallas-Fort Worth Collection as the first pedigree to be established by the company, beginning with a first-production sealed copy of Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Now, CGC Video Games is proud to announce that it has certified nearly games from the pedigree collection. The Dallas-Fort Worth Collection consists of more than classic video games manufactured for several consoles from the Atari to the Sega CD, spanning several generations.
Originally, they were part of a private collection belonging to a doctor who, in the s, collected comic books and played role-playing games with his late brother. Many of the games remain factory sealed and still have their original price stickers, while others are complete in box. The collection also includes various complete-in-box NES Black Box games, nearly all of which have the first-print manuals and cartridges, matching R.
Eventually, the collection was split up. Details about why the collection was dispersed remain a mystery. Apparently, a small group of the games were donated to a local thrift store in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, while a larger portion were sold at an estate sale. Later, the same collection began appearing in online auctions, causing a stir in the video game collecting community. Many of the games listed on eBay sold for record prices, which garnered the attention of excited collectors.
Out of the identified games in the collection, CGC Video Games has certified more than individual games with the pedigree. However, there were many more games from the Dallas-Fort Worth Collection that were sold privately before the pedigree was identified. These games are still eligible for the pedigree status, and CGC Video Games will work with collectors to properly catalog and grade these exceptional collectibles.
