Sorry, I must be getting old! I can't find the article that mentioned 1987
now. Maybe it was 1997.

The version that sold for 1.56 million was only released for one month in 1987
and is very rare.

If you have this exact same game (Nintendo’s Super Mario 64 from1996) in good
but opened condition, it sells for around $100: (in more used conditioneven
less, maybe $50)

If you have this unopened, that’s what this auction was for: $ 1.56Million

Which seems absolutely absurd to me.
What is the difference – some transparent plastic around? For 1.56Million
Dollars?

Subject: [MOPO] 1.56 Million
An unopened copy of Nintendo’sSuper Mario 64 has sold at auction for $1.56
million.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas saidthat the 1996 game sold Sunday, breaking its
previous record price for the saleof a single video game. Two days prior, The
Legend of Zelda sold for 870,000.
Now that I have been working for an auction house for 8 years, I always admire
collectors and the diversity it can represent: Historic letters by the
founding fathers, rare first editionbooks, Coca-Cola, baseball cards, NASA
ephemera, photography,Hollywood... all a reflection of America (and also the
worlds) past. So much a reflection of the times, footnotes that reflectmost of
the time, genius, artistry……greatness. And these collectors areactually
curators of history keeping their possessions with great care to passonto
another generation who with education and passion will continue carryingthe
baton of who we were, how far we’ve come and the importance theseartifacts
represent
But !@!!$@$%!! **!^#&^ video games? Dammit, I got old fast.
Curmudgeonly yours,
Freeman Fisher
