Its such a niche book, but there are many many interested parties

I have very rare books

Maybe 20 people care lol

So they are practically worthless

Imagine what it would be worth if there was an animated Mario on the cover, instead of Boone from Animal House.

I remember him as tragic figure Albert Ingalls on "Little House on the Prairie". In real life, the actor Matthew Labyorteaux was the US 1982 Pac-Man champion, although he's shown playing "Tron" on the Blip cover. Note the band-aid on his left hand. Ruling the arcade could be a rough business!

Always loved the band aid. It dates the cover. Today, that would be photo-shopped out. Everything has to look perfect. Different time and different aesthetic.

Yeah, I know it wasn't the Boone actor but I didn't watch Little House on the Prairie, so he reminds me of a younger Lt. Kellaway from The Mask.

Makes sense. There are only a dozen BIN's for much less than that available...

Isn't that crazy.  I guess getting caught up in auction fever.  I have seen it many times where books are sold even here on the boards where you can find similar copies for less.

I'm surprised it took this long!

I bought 7 or 8 of them from Sulipa maybe 4 years ago and shoved them in a pile somewhere.

Book from backstock. BTW I have a NM/M full set of Blip 1-7. I have never seen another copy of 7, and mine's a newsstand.
