    Quoted from Pinhead1982:

    Not sure it's going to.
    Over here in UK a SUPER MARIO WORLD SNES NIB game has just sold for £8,300!! That is more than a MM and how many of those SMW games were made 100,000's,!
    There are some crazy people out there!

    Puts on video game collector hat...straightens glasses...*AHEM*...

    As Pen mentioned, it is absolutely not a fair comparison. A yellow, sealed, PAL Super Mario World is insanely rare. You can find a PAL Super Mario World for chump change...or a US Super Mario World for even less. You may be able to find the yellow box with the manual...that's been sat on a hundred times since the 90's, for a bit more. A sealed version? In very good condition? That's an entirely different beast altogether.

    So don't start windexing that loose US Super Mario World cart that you've been using as a table leveler thinking it is gold.

    You want something even more insane in the video game world (but hardly the craziest), google Stadium Events...then cue a spit take when you realize it is just a sticker variant of a 1-3 dollar NES game.

    Edit: On Topic: When Pinball is so mainstream the machines are saturating the market and are literally everywhere (every theater, bar, grocery store, liquor store, etc.). So unless you have a time machine set to the 80's...
