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

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?
