Like what Holger, are you talking about a computer game? If so which one? Even though Drash is showing up now I still think under 500 were sold and doubtful many survived. Are there many computer games that had less than 1000 sold (Akalabeth sold 3)? Even if so I'm sure they would "pop up" if the price was right, it's just because of the prices (note each auction uses info from a previous auction) that Drash is showing up now. And it will dry up, not sure how many before it does (but not a LOT).

Is there actually a game out there of which only one single copy exists?

Is there really  1000 drash sold?  How do we know this?
On the other hand, Scott Adams Gold Collector Series were individually numbered 
and only 1000 copies were ever made (for each computer type??)  There are others 
that probably sold even less than this, but many are not worth collecting...

Yeah but we know the Mona Lisa is considered a good "work of art" compared to other art, Drash actual game compared to other computer games was my point (joke)..

FINALLY!--a clear picture to see what you're buying!

I was getting tired of the intentional blurry Drash pics! 

But my point to this email was that you can actually see the registration number--can 
anyone else (Tom, Josh) share their numbers with the group, or at least tell us if 
there is any pattern to the numbers?  Perhaps we can glean some info on how many were 
produced by this number!

Sure, give me an hour and I'll whip one up.  I'll be happy to sell you the 
absolutely positively only copy of said game for the low low price of $800 :-)

*One* copy?  One published copy, or one remaining?  For the former, no.  For 
the latter, who can ever know?
