Quote from: SchattenJager0 on 07/03/2006, 05:15 AMHello all,  this is my first post on this awesome board, and I think i'll be kicking it off right by announcing that I bought Sapphire and an Arcade Card (both sealed) on eBay.  

ebay . com/itm/150005128064

(yes, the high bidder 'turbografxgamer' is me)

Before you begin to cringe, be advised that I'm well aware of all the 'alternate', 'bootleg, and  'second run' copies of sapphire and I am willing to accept the fact that this is one of them. =)  and seeing as how I'd like to get back into collecting TG/PCE items, i think Sapphire is a good item to start with. ;)  

I was curious though, was there ever solid evidence leaning toward if these 'copies' were actually legit second runs from Hudson, or if they are just simply "fanboy bootlegs" trying to "spread the love" of the game?

I've read many posts on these boards, including the excellent in depth comparisons from the real copy to the fake copy of sapphire compiled by CrackTiger (kudos).  

I'm happy to find other die hard PCE/TG fans! =D

p.s.  is it bad that i listen to the sapphire soundtrack in my car?
