Thanks bro!
FOMO now kicking in…
Trading cards also have the new digital sites where you get a single slabbed card. It is very gameified and gambling-adjacent. I see it more in the news and just read a good article about it…

I’ve noticed the GI Joe cards from a similar time/same company are getting expensive too.
Snake Eyes seems to be the Optimus Prime equivalent…
Ungraded seems to have doubled in the past week. Similar condition sales.

These raw cards (which are probably 8s) are rivaling 9.8s of the actual first appearance.
I’m looking at Marvel cards at the moment…realizing almost NONE of the characters in the impel 90s sets are actual first on card….never realized there were so many trading cards and stickers pre-1990.
I thought this was a steal. Not many of these first releases in this grade.
PAC-Man pretty much sold Atari and kicked off the at-home arcade business. Basically the Action Comics 1 of home arcadr video games historically…but clearly not financially.

Hmmm…now I see maybe some were “sealed” in plastic. I didn’t think Atari games had seals…at least I don’t remember them being that way when I was young.
It would add a premium if the seal is high (A+ or better). Here’s a 2022 sale sealers
The sticker may have something to do with it as well.
Still a great specimen.

I heard there was a warehouse find a ways back so there are a few of these in this grades. But I would still love to have this.
I still have this cartridge and still works, so a little nostalgic for it as well as it being one of the (if not the first) comic book character games.

Wtf? Checked the sold price and it was sold for $410. I’ve been picking these up at dollar bins at cons all the time.

Could be a census/Registry driven sale. White cover, though, so shouldn’t be too hard in 9.8 unless the back cover is a darker color.
I think it’s nostalgia factoring in for the cgc collectors that has a lot of money to burn. This was around the time I got into comics and these were the books that sparked my love for the medium, I love these holiday specials. Great artwork by some of my favorite artists like Arthur Adams. I wouldn’t pay that much for it but I do pick them up at cons when I see them cheap. Just fun books to have.
