As an 80s and 90s gaming enthusiast --and, to a small extent, collector-- I really want to know what the hell is going on here. It doesn't seem that long ago that Nintendo World Championship was going for $15k and I could at least understand that from the confluence of historical significance and rarity, but $1.5M for one of the most sold games in history just because of its condition!?
Is this just a symptom of the ludicrous increases in wealth disparity, that someone has $1.5M to throw away on something like this? Or is it some kind of money laundering? Seriously, someone please explain this to me.
