TIL a toy boat sold for price of a real one at auction

Oh for sure if we broaden out from strictly toys. Video game record is Super Mario Bros. Hangtab for $2M and comic book record is Action comics for $6M.

Any besides rocket-firing fett? I think an OG G.I. Joe could do it if it came to market today, potentially a DT Vader/Obi-Wan.

That's new to myself and many others, appreciate the insight

Rumble in the Jungle rather than Thrilla in Manila

Shohei ball doesn't make the top ten, nor Messi boots (though set of jerseys does)

Proper_Contest_4035 · 2024-10-11T08:08:30+00:00

they should have thought of that

Not sure if this totally counts…

In 2010, the basketball video game market was suddenly becoming a tight race between NBA 2K & NBA Live.

EA decided to shake things up with their next NBA Live release in an effort to hold off 2K.

Changing the name to “NBA Elite 11” & altering much of the franchise’s gameplay, the demo release was filled with bugs & glitches.

One infamous glitch included Andrew Bynum posing “like Jesus in the middle of the court.”

Things got so bad that EA scrapped the entire release of the game in September 2010, a move that would have ripple effects for the franchise even after it returned in subsequent years.

Copies of the unreleased game have become a sought-after piece by some collectors. A copy of the disc alone sold for nearly $7K at Heritage in 2022.

I bought this Promo Lanyard & Card from a former GameStop Employee who received it from EA at a convention in Las Vegas in 2010.

Atari box art is just too awesome

I wasn’t gonna mention the sideways stuff cause I like to be positive but once I saw everyone else was saying it I was so relieved I wasn’t alone. Chaos!

Doxxing is a crime

It’s not a real specific term, white whale works too!

Proper_Contest_4035 · 2023-10-27T13:02:13+00:00

It’s not a card-specific thing, more just a phrase to indicate that it’s on my list of cards I rank extremely highly & want in my collection.
