Hail to the king---------------^
While browsing through the interwebs I stumbled upon a site that had a top 20 list of the most valuable games to date. As I scanned through the list which ranged from games that were worth 175 dollars up to 10,000+ dollars, I ask myself why would someone pay into the thousands of dollars for a simple cartridge? Ranking with cards and comics as one of the top things to collect video games have a special place in our minds and hearts. While I collect as many games as I can I don't think I would spend high amounts of currency for one simple game. The thrill of the hunt is my favorite thing about collecting. Going to yard sales and old thrift markets and searching through stacks of old stuff that unknowing pack rats have finally pulled out of their attics and basements to clear space for new age material. While my collection isn't very vast I could finally understand where high dollar collectors were coming from. Also what else is filthy rich gamers gonna spend money on?

Here is the site where I found them on, its pretty dated but still has some good information. I read some of the comments on there and it got me thinking, how many of my fellow destructoid members own any of these or any other rare games?
