I think rarity and in box ?

Guess so.

For what this is, it hasn't hit max price.  I could see $500k, maybe higher.

Is it Wata certified in any way like the games ?

Jeese, I just don't get the gaming market. Why is this soo expensive already?

I would pay $31 for this, crack out and lose the game and keep the holder.

This was pulled from the shelfs and only around 200-300 copies are believed to be sold . Nintendo bought the game rebranded it and re released it .

Like I mentioned before, $500k definitely likely with upside.  People who don’t collect old electronics don’t know what collectors are paying for this stuff.

An Apple 1 computer sold for almost $1 million.

I wonder what the video game collectors think or other hobbyists outside of comics when we pay $$$ for old paper. They'd think we're crazy too

You’re right. I don’t get collecting video games at alllllllll, but I can’t judge because others surely think the same about me and comics.

I do regret selling my N64 stuff for practically nothing years ago, just to declutter my house. Zelda, goldeneye, super Mario...that system was a huge jump from the previous systems at the time and I have fond memories. My regret isn’t from a collection perspective though, sometimes I wish I could play it!

No I mean I get that. I guess it just feels crazy because I don't recall when this shift occurred. It just seemed like overnight, and by overnight I mean the last 2-3 years the graded gaming market has exploded. I'm sure it was well before then, but just seems like I'm hearing about it now. And I don't understand why some go for soo much more than others.

I'm getting a little bit better in understanding the market. I have also shifting some interests into video game collecting as well as comics. There a few long time comic collectors who are doing the same thing and have been on this for years.

I think the market just exploded a few years ago, dunno how or what got it going into this new gear. Video game collecting has been going on for maybe 10 or so years with a just a few then started getting bigger and bigger as it gets more publicized.  Of course the most popular collector Dain Anderson who founded the Nintendo Age website and recently sold his pedigreed collection in Heritage (Carolina Collection) and a few other venues.

If those games were sealed, they're selling for crazy money now. Gotta know too which are first editions and the correct types of factory seals.

That's where this scares me.  Comics have a 50+ year history as a collectible and have shown a fairly linear growth pattern.  Video games, although having a large fan base, don't have the history to justify 6-7 figure prices.

Yeah I get what you're saying. But I think it's the new generation of collectors who just want to relive their glory days as kids back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I for one loved playing video games as a kid, actually owned almost all the 80s and 90s consoles between myself and my brothers. So it's pretty cool to see that video games are gaining some respect.

This is already one of the top bid items. 

WTF !!?? 174K already for that thing.

Well, if you though that $174K was already looney bin    time, then how about $420K with still another 20 days to go!!!

Any bets that the gamer collectors are also saying exactly the same thing when it comes to copies of Detective Comics 31.

Found this market report in a 2005 Comics Buyers Guide . Batman 1 CGC 4.0 for $14,000
