Heritage Auctions in Dallas said that the 1996 game sold Sunday, breaking its previous record price for the sale of a single video game. Two days prior, The Legend of Zelda sold for 870,000. Now that I have been working for an auction house for 8 years, I always admire collectors and the diversity it can represent: Historic letters by the founding fathers, rare first edition books, Coca-Cola, baseball cards, NASA ephemera, photography, Hollywood... all a reflection of America (and also the worlds) past. So much a reflection of the times, footnotes that reflect most of the time, genius, artistry……greatness. And these collectors are actually curators of history keeping their possessions with great care to pass onto another generation who with education and passion will continue carrying the baton of who we were, how far we’ve come and the importance these artifacts represent But !@!!$@$%!! **!^#&^ video games? Dammit, I got old fast.
