Records are falling faster and faster and prices are rising faster and faster. A symbolic bar was exceeded for an example of the platform game “padre” who turned 35 last year.

Vintage is the future of man. Or at least the wealthy collector. As reported by New York Times, a copy of Super Mario Bros. was purchased through the platform for $ 2 million rally. This is not an auction, but a resale of a copy acquired by its investors in April last year.
As you can imagine, this cartridge has never been opened in the box. It’s in pristine condition too. The buyer preferred to remain anonymous.
Another record
Just a few months ago, the sums invested by collectors barely exceeded $ 200,000. In 2019, the same NES game cost $ 100,150 very precisely. In November 2020, it’s a Super Mario Bros. Extremely Rare 3 that was nabbed for $ 156,000.
Things have been on the up since last April: Hardly any Super Mario Bros. 660,000 green tickets were sold that exceeded The Legend of Zelda, on July 9th for $ 870,000. All for what? Abdicate two days later to a Super Mario 64, which is said to have found a buyer for $ 1,560,000, who now has to say goodbye to the record himself. You will have noticed that all of the above are just Nintendo games. Doesn’t that remind you of something we can discover every week?
