I doubt that any of mine had something similar to this limited “misprint”, but who knows? I am sure there is a market for a Mega Man X SNES cartridge with cat bit marks on the corner 😛

That’s incredible. I have to assume a big part of this is driven by childhood nostalgia. I’m going to get in front of the next boom and load up on tide pods since kids liked eating dishwashing detergent last year, maybe the rich ones will pay 150,000k for their childhood past time in 30 years.

… Not beanie baby’s though. Those people are just idiots

In another 20 years I hope my N64 games will be worth that much.

I wish I saved my old Pokémon cards. I think some of them are worth in thousands now but I’m pretty sure I just threw them all in the garbage.

That’s unfortunate. We had a fairly large family with all the good old systems and games. Pretty sure everything went to the garbage as well. I do have my game gear though
