    chicnstu: You are confusing it with Game Factory carts. The only time this appeared on ebay other than the portnoyd BIN was from the 4th Survivor, who listed it twice. The game does not have that type of label.

    The one that Portnoyd sold to Nicola was the one that sold for $50 BIN on ebay. I saw it like 2 mins after he bought it ad 4th survivor was the other one I was thinking of, so yeah those are the only 2 I know of.

    In my daily search I have different and in-depth strings for the Blockbuster cart. Nothing has yet been found.
    The copy I've bought from 4th Survivor is the only one I know with 2 booklets and the letter you had to submit to partecipate.
    As for the booklets, one is the same that comes with Donkey Kong Competiton carts, the other is completely different.

    I've seen the cart before (back in the 90s when competing in the competition) however have never seen the booklet.. any chance of posting a screenshot?

    Edit: Last night I remember going through my basement looking for the Blockbuster World Video Game Championship picture frame with my name on it and found it. I'll have to post it later when I get home from work.

    It's nothing special, but still something pretty neat.

    The frame was kinda nice. Black metal if I recall. And they were also giving away tons of X-Men cards as well. I still have about 50 unopened packs of those. My friend and I won the DK comp at about 5 stores each and we still have all of the "stuff" that went along with it.

    As far as the Genesis cart, it hasn't been widely distributed as far as eBay and other areas. They're probably stored away somewhere at Sega or whoever was responsible for the carts.

    Any ideas who produced the carts? If that could be determined, then that might be where all of the carts were returned.

    Oh yeah, sorry. I was unsure about it when I posted, I guess I should have checked first. Thanks for not going crazy about it like some others on DP would.

    So my question is, how much would you pay for one of these today? How much is one worth to you? Considering the last one went for $1300.00 on Ebay AND another one went for $1000.00...

    4ever2600: THe reserve when it went for $1300 was never met. And $1000? Where are you pulling these numbers from? When they actually changed hands, it was for over $2K apiece.

    I'd rather find out how to get the amount of points people got to win there store to go to the championship than own it. I'm fine with just playing the rom on my computer.

    I was talking to my friend the other day and he says he went to this but swears to it that it was tmnt tournament edition, nba jam , and another game that i can't remember right now but i asked and he said it wasn't judge dredd anyone know anything about this. It was in the NJ area. He also said it was multiple carts, not just one special one like the championship 2, could this possibly be another championship like 1 or 3
