Space Cyclone - Yup, it's rare!

All,
I've just traded away my Space Cyclone board (and I'm okay with that).
I submitted to KLOV my detailed description of the game, and I suspect
it will be posted soon.

But....

Today, the following paragrah appeared on KLOV's listing for Space
Cyclone (at: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=9645)

"Very Rare - According to a survey conducted by Video Arcade
Preservation Society of approximately 800 collectors and their nearly
20,000 games, there are no known instances of this game owned by a
known collector."

What do you suppose would be the value of this truly rare board? I
really don't *care*, and I'm happy with my trade, but would be
interested to hear educated opinions of this game's PCB value.

Or perhaps the VAPS is just a load of phooey and lots of people have
this game outside of the VAPS community.

Vaps appears to be fairly narrow. I thought that was the site that was
deleting peoples posted collections randomly? *shrug*

vaps is quite narrow. they shouldnt have that paragraph added to the
klov.

ive already looked at many rare games in the klov just to see what vaps
says. i personally know who owns many of these rare games and totalled
them up and the numbers are larger than the vaps. its like there should
be a disclaimer at the bottom. many of my friends who collect rare
games are not members of vaps (myself included) and they dont even post
on rgvac. it just goes to show how narrow vaps really is, despite the
long list of good guys on it

vaps website should be deleted, what a joke.
And to think klov uses it to gauge rare games, lol.


Troy,

Its not worth anything nutty....remember the descriptions are posted by
users....there are so many errors in KLOV listings its ridiculous. I've
sold "only one known to exist" boards for $10 in the past.
