Yes on the first, ...does it? on the second. - Reagen Jan 21, 10:01 8
- It depends on how rare it is. No one would buy it for $10k to use it for its intended purpose, but it is possible in its rarity it has transcended. -- nm - rollo Jan 21, 13:10
- Some of the rarest items were free giveaway cards at Pokémon gatherings in the 1990s -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:03 6
  - you think I am talking about it being a Pokemon item but I am talking about it being a video game cartridge. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:08 5
    - Yes, in fact I didn't realize that at all. But ... it is both. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:21 4
      - So let's be clear: video game cartridge (of any fashion) >= $10K ... nuts. Cuckoo banana town. Symptom of a broken set of priorities. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:24 3
        
        It's not worth 10K to me, no. But if I were eccentric and building a collection that showed the packaging and presentation of an era, missing pieces - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:36 2
        
        and I circle back to "that is dumb at that value" -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:38 1
        
        Well, it's an unfortunate reality that humans are dumb. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:44
