At Auction
As mentioned last week, Heritage is running a significant auction through the end of October. Keep a close eye on the early run Zelda. If it surpasses $1.2m or so, that’s very good news for the gaming space. Anything under $800k could signal a bear market even for blue chips.
You’ll also want to watch the Super Mario 64 items mentioned above. We want the WATA 9.6 A++ to pass $500k.
CertifiedLink.com has an auction running at the minute as well – it ends today and Wednesday. Some of the cooler items include:
- Sealed NES including Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Zelda, and Kirby’s Adventure
- Sealed Gameboy Color – Dandelion
- Original sealed Gameboy with Tetris included
