I really love these super shows! thanks for still continuing, even if only on a limited basis. Much love to you both

Hey, I opened that Zelda as a service to any potential buyers, to see if the battery needed replacing. That should make it even more valuable.

[@richardc5100]

Model trains is currently doing way better than in years. The other two agreed.

I still see tons of model train stuff, it definitely isn’t what it once was but it hasn’t disappeared like those other two.

[@Hyreia]

I remember someone telling me Elvis memorabilia used to be incredibly collectible and resellable. Then all the fans grew old and died and now there's not really anyone around left who cares so it's hardly worth anything like it was. All things must fade.

[@hw5091]

To a degree. In the early 90s my grandma had a lot of that stuff, and it wasn't worth shit. They massed produced that crap n everybody kept it nice. It was all mail order, QVC type crap.

[@Clay3613]

Elvis is incredibly specific, video games are much different and been around longer than Elvis was alive.

[@TooBokoo]

@@Clay3613 Yeah, but the majority of people under 20ish years old don't care about retro games or owning shelves of carts and CDs. Even with how popular video games are, there aren't going to be tens of thousands of young people wanting to have huge video game collections in the year 2040.

[@thomgizziz]

@@Clay3613 Yeah youre different and things are different... im sure you'll never die also. Retro gaming (nes, snes, n64 era will severely fall off when most of that generation starts dying. We are looking at 20 years before the market starts to fall apart if the hucksters don't ruin it first.

[@weekendroady2060]

Vintage sports cards only get more valuable over time, even with players who died way before the people who are paying big money for their cards were born. I don't see interest in vintage games ever going away.

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

Sometimes I like to Watch shows like the Antique Road show. Some things there are so old it’s surprising what they’re worth. I personally want to live long enough to see the NES hit a hundred years old! Not only would I be very old, but I could look back on things like this and compare how the market is then

[@nerychristian]

By then, those old consoles will be worthless because they won't work anymore. The plastic and rubber pieces will become brittle, and the computer chips inside the cartridges will eventually rust.

[@Retronize84]

Things that don't seem to fade is well known art, antiques, artifacts, so I wonder that a few of these ultra rare items from the history of gaming may keep increasing in value for 100s (even 1000s) of years but the majority of it will probably decrease in value over time.

[@unish25]

Everything fades my friend....everything!

[@rogersherman3546]

I think rare metals and coins made of metals like silver and gold should be safe as well until we can mine asteroids at least which isn’t in our lifetime probably.

[@Retronize84]

@@unish25 no, no they don't. Dinosaur bones are another example, highly valuable. If we are talking hundreds of billions of years, well yes, everything does "fade" because stars explode, lol.

Very true about the lack of anyone caring about comics. Here in Canada, the comics sections (of endless boxes of comics) at cons are always the most deserted.

Hong Kong famicom was a different system. Hong Kong had both an official NES and official famicom release. Only territory with both.

Do you know what's even more rare? Video game music that was ACTUALLY composed by Tommy Tallarico!

When Nintendo Power stopped, they reprinted Issue 1 for the regular retail price to celebrate. I picked up 2 copies, one for my son. This was only several years ago. How is issue 1 selling for a lot of money.

[@markjacob1129]

Pat sorry but if that envelope is behind you mean that someone didn't show up, guess you were right again! Great show again guys

[@Bro3256]

I have a feeling that Hong Kong Mah Jong isn't as rare as Stadium Events don't get me wrong Hong Kong NES stuff in general is hard to come by but it isn't nearly to the scale where I'd consider it extremely uncommon Nintendo released the NES in Hong Kong around 1986 and eventually released a Hong Kong Famicom in 1991 so its the only region to get both consoles however the Hong Kong NES is the only one that had actual Hong Kong releases which did well initially, imports from Japan and elsewhere were far more common Edit: Just to clear things up, I do think Hong Kong NES releases are rare, but my point is that *it isn't as rare as you think they are.* I have experience with importing video games overseas and have several friends who live in said countries that have encountered these same "rare" games quite a bit. If you want an actual comparison with NES Mah Jong its about as rare as Igo Meikan on the Famicom with both equally being extremely hard to get your hands on. Stadium Events is honestly not a good comparison because at least you have quite a few opportunities to buy Stadium Events in comparison to just finding a listing for either NES Mah Jong or Famicom Igo Meikan. This is just my perspective from my experience though.

[@tocu98]

When you got to the Mario 64 and talking about the A++ made me think of a new sport card grading service called Tag which litterally use microscopes and let the progamming that they trained on expecations on that style of card to provide a grading. Dont think they get to doing video games unless it actualy maintains as a sizable market just not super niche but would be the first time I think seals grading would make more sense.

[@Aragorn7884]

Hopefully next year a box of 500 will be found and flood the market 🤞😈

[@unish25]

Yeah but they will call that the "XYZ" Collection so that the value doesn't go down in prices. That's their tactic

[@josephleo5830]

In reference to the 15:00 mark, Honesty, my personal grail is a 9.8 or above copy of SMB/DH as sort of a self referencing irony in the grading aspect of the hobby.

[@CarmenOfSpades]

Asian region (Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan...) games are especially rare and not well-documented. Rampant piracy, round-about business practices that needed to comply with serpentine regulations and the fact that consumers in those markets were less economically well-off back then limited sales volumes by a great deal. And then one needs to account how many of those games actually lasted and weren't discarded over the years. Even my personal goal, completing the PS2 Chinese language set (which is only around 20 or so games), has proven especially tough since some of the games literally never show up in the wild. And that's searching in the home market, I can't even imagine how difficult it is to come across that stuff in North America...

Nice to get the notification!

[@nabzy28]

I had the original NES system with ROB and remember, years back, Nintendo bought one from someone for quite a bit because they didn't have one in their own archives. (?) Had all the Nintendo Power issues, too, but they were well read and beat up. Still, insane seeing some of this stuff.

[@ladynikkie]

12:13 shoot I follow a KZbinr who owns an issue of Nintendo power magazine but the difference is his is valuable because Shigeru Miyamoto himself autographed it I actually considered that valuable because these Nintendo developers they barely do autographs.

[@joeynova9896]

So if its an expensive game is it worth grading if you are selling? Also which grading company is the best? I hear CGC grades video games now.

[@medes5597]

If you're selling it specifically at one of two or three high end auction houses - grade it, it'll inflate the price massively. Outside of that, even CGC has stated that apart from small areas (ie Heritage auctions), grading has yet to make make a difference in the general market and in some cases actually seems to have harmed pricing based on confirmed sales. If you really want to grade, do it via CGC and don't do it increase the value because unless you're going to sell with heritage, it doesn't look like it'll help.

[@BanditsBest686]

which issue 1 is rarer, the free sample copy or free poster inside version?

[@Dngrzne91]

I've been kicked out of collector's group for saying it, but once our original NES generation is either gone or too old to care these items will drop in value. The younger generation doesn't care about old sealed games. I have three sons and they want to be able to play the games not sit and stare at a sealed copy on the shelf that they can't touch.

[@PreKGam3r]

Man i missed the boat on the 3ds. Think about getting one until i see the game prices. $80 & up for most of what you'd want 😢

[@thegerm574]

The comic book guys look like comic book guy from the Simpsons.

[@JoeFpoc]

From a casual collector’s point of view all of it makes no sense. It’s obviously just investment and speculation but when it gets to the point where it gets to expensive I’m out. Most i ever paid for a older game is $40 and plan to keep it that way, always emulation

[@common_c3nts]

Graded games means thee seller is not smart so you can low ball them easier. Only morons pay to get their games "graded".

[@joeynova9896]

I disagree. Just like comics grading can up the value on an item and can sell for much more.

[@VR-Emcee]

Pac Man fever ripped Pat's sleeves off?

[@CitywideJ]

Game collecting became "investing" during covid, these invest bros ruin pretty much everything. Pokemon cards have gone the same way. Just like comic collecting became investing... I had a pretty big game collection and i pretty much sold all of it because at some point i was wondering why i had shitty x or y game worth 50+ bucks on a shelf. I only kept stuff i owned as a kid, owned as a kid and lost along the way, or actual stuff i want to look at / play / have played.
