I'm sure a lot of people here have noticed the recent trend of
'grading' or 'slabbing' retro games in order to drive the prices up.
This is a pretty fishy practice that has affected several other
collectables markets such as coins and comics in the past. We're now at
the point that a mint copy of Mario on the NES, one of the most common
games on the system, is apparently worth 2 million dollars. Bullsh*t.
This is a really interesting video on the whole scenario; who's involved, how they've done it and what's likely to happen next: https://youtu.be/rvLFEh7V18A
