Oh Christ no, this cannot be a "thing" can it? I mean, labels are one thing but the fricking bubblewrap it came in??? FFS!!
This is a guess OK but I would say NONE of the MVS games came in a white baggie originally. This would be because the blue and pink bubble wrap are anti-static whilst as far as I know, the white bubble wrap is not anti-static. One would think SNK shipped carts in anti-static bags
Watermarking photos of plastic bags is a diligently cautious practice lest they fall into the wrong hands.
I dont want anyone using my pictures for nefarious things

I get what most people here a complaing about, *but* from a documenting process prospective, it is important to keep track of such information. IIRC, japanese ASOII had pink bubblewrap, Viewpoint white...thrash rally I believe the same (I have to check) and so on, most variants where around 1991/92/93 probably. It's a bit of information that comes with the game, like the release date or recalls, or whatever the story of the game was.
So to say, I wouldn't dismiss so easily trying to be accurate, even when replacing stuff...it is information that would be lost, and like all information about a dead system, that would be a shame IMO.

Somehow I feel like the moment "muh gaem preservation" becomes a reality with serious institutions doing it, even then it's gonna be some useless ignored detail. "What material did Van Gogh use to wrap his oil paintings for transport?"
Viewpoint said:And even so what's to stop someone from counterfeiting these?
Nothing.
Documenting is fine but it's the assholes trying to put a monetary value to these which really fuck things up. lol

Who's trying to put a monetary value on it? My man is tripping
duh...and where exactly I implied counterfeit is justified? I'm just saying these details are important, and shouldn't be dismissed just because people have the arrogance to think they know better.
Edit: also, this "neo-proletariat police" attitude is frankly annoying, especially coming from people who don't know shit.
There has been many a member here actually tying to put a value on baggies many a time over the years. This isn't the 1st time this has come up along with fucktards listing home carts as complete with the manual baggie as an upselling point to push the value even higher.
