wow that's in such a good shape! I need to get some Kirby games myself. I love them and don't own any.

eventually I want to get final fantasy for nes sealed and graded.

Just out of curiosity, what is the point of the VGA grading exactly? Just wondering :P

Either way, congrats, it seems to be in awesome shape, cool stuff.
I've yet to get any sealed retro games myself, partly because all the ones I've found have been way too expensive, and partly because personally I don't really care (if I got a sealed copy of a super rare game, I'd do an unboxing video just to piss people off :P).

The point of the VGA grading is, for me, more of a personal/sentimental reason more than anything else. Kirby's Adventure was my favourite childhood game. I could spend hours playing this one without getting bored. I consider this one as being the game that really started my love for video games and the VGA grading is a way for me to preserve a significant piece of my childhood memories :)Of course, i'll buy a loose cartridge to be able to play it also!

That's the point :)

I'd recommend making your own frame and or display to keep it safe. The VGA is kind of a big terrible scam, and I wouldn't trust them with something so important to me.
