How we filter
Every feed has its own filter, tuned by hand for this one game. Before any change goes live, those filters are tested against thousands of real eBay listing titles. Every night, each feed is checked against every other deal page in its category, so a listing for a different game that slips in gets flagged and fixed instead of quietly shown.
Of the 70 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 25 of 70 (~36%) for quality reasons. The remaining 45 are what we'd actually surface.
- 17 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 2 seller had too few feedback ratings
- 2 seller positive-feedback percentage too low
- 2 priced above the curated ceiling
- 1 wrong condition (e.g. parts-only)
- 1 shipped from a region we exclude
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Earthworm Jim (Genesis) returns far more than the game itself: controllers, T-shirts, strategy guides, imports and repro carts all mention it in their titles. These are the 111 terms we filter out to keep this feed to the real thing. A listing whose title contains any of them never reaches the feed, the price table or an alert. Many look unrelated to Earthworm Jim (Genesis) because they are: that's the noise.

Earthworm Jim: collector & reseller spec sheet
- Release: the Genesis version of the original Earthworm Jim came out in 1994 from Playmates Interactive and Shiny Entertainment. This page tracks that game only, not the sequel.
- Product code: check that the label's product code and region markings match the US (NTSC) release.
- Box variants: sellers advertise a "cardboard box" variant alongside the standard plastic clamshell case. Asking prices for the cardboard version run noticeably higher in the listings we see. Check photos of the box and any registration card or poster before paying for a CIB claim.
- Print and reprint differences: a later reprint may exist with different packaging or labels. Compare the cart label and rear stamping against a known authentic photo, because we haven't verified the exact differences.
- Listing traps: the sequel, Earthworm Jim 2, is easily confused with this one, and the Super Nintendo and Sega CD versions share the title. Strategy guides, promo posters and sticker sets often carry the franchise name too. The feed filters these out, but read the title before you buy.
Buying Sega Genesis games: what to check by condition
These checks apply to every Sega Genesis cartridge. The item notes above cover what is specific to this game.
Loose
- Compare the label, shell color and front/back markings against a photo of a known-authentic cart. Repro labels are often glossier, blurrier or slightly off-color.
- Ask for a photo of the board or the back of the cart. An opened shell is not automatically bad (battery swaps are normal), but it should be disclosed.
- If the game saves to a battery, ask whether the save holds. Old save batteries fail with age regardless of what the listing says, so budget for a replacement.
CIB (complete in box)
- Confirm the box, manual and plastic case and cover art are all shown in the photos, not just listed in the title.
- Check that the box and manual are the same region and print as the cart. Mixed-and-matched "complete" copies are common.
- Box wear (crushing, tears, sticker residue) moves price far more than the cart does. Judge it from photos, not from the word "mint".
Sealed & graded
- For a graded copy, look the certification number up on the grading company's own site and confirm the photos match the slab you are buying.
- For an ungraded sealed copy, compare the wrap and seal pattern against a known factory-sealed example. Resealing is common, and a reseal on a loose game is worth a loose price.
- Ask for photos of every side, the seams and any price stickers. Refusing extra photos on a sealed listing is a red flag on its own.
