    Well, today I got some dreamcast samples (white discs, etc). The friend that gave them to me told me that he knew a guy in akklaim and he gave him some samples in a black box, with portrait, instructions, etc.). I imagine they are very common, right? Shadowrun appears a retail disc, it's not white.

    Here you can check some pics about them.

    Well they're not something you see every day (unless you search dreamcast white label on ebay :p) but at the same time you've not hit the jackpot. I once bought a copy of south park racing and dave mirra freestyle bmx identical to the ones you have for £9.99 for the pair and an identical copy of bust a move with a horribly scratched disc for a fiver.
    On the shadowman disc does it say anything about being a promotional copy? Perhaps on the label side ring in the middle

    Don't get me wrong though I think they're pretty awesome and try to buy as many as I can get my hands on when I have the money

    Well I'm not interested in sell them XD, I'm only curious about them. I get 50 white label today from my friend.

    I wasn't offering to buy them
    But I'd say they're less common than your average white label

    These are roughly as common as Playstation promo discs in PAL land where pressed trade demos were common. Pricing for a Dreamcast white label is going to depend on the rarity of the title. A very small handful are rare. The vast majority are identical to retail release.

    I reckon the Shadowman and F-355 ones are pretty rare. The rest, less so.

    I'd say the ECW one is the rarest there Bust a Move is relatively uncommon isn't it?

    We used to give these things away when we sold a Dreamcast - that's how common they were!

    I have them too, I also have a copy of Dead or Alive 2, Jeremy Mcgrath super cross and Spirit of Speed in one of those cases, Spirit of speed has the Ljn logo on it.
