When the New Yorker article mentioned "fifty-five thousand dollars" being paid for a couple of Neo-Geo titles I'm sure a lot of even non-gamers stood up and took notice.
I like that the article discussed counterfeits as that's a global problems surrounding anything of value. For example, I recently watched a news report that exposed the fact that a majority of multi-million dollar Ming dynasty vases sold in China are in fact fakes.
Also, a majority of Craiglist ads calling for "pretty girls to model games for photography project" end up in kidnapping and possibly rape & murder.I like that the article discussed counterfeits as that's a global problem surrounding anything of value.

I stick with PS2 lolGreat, no doubt another price spike coming. I might as well give up in my attempts to get some of my favourite AES games back and stick to MVS.
You collect Desert Storm trading cards?
- Fuck yeah. Those things are collector's items, man. You have any idea how much those things are gonna be worth one day?
Really?
- Hell, yeah. That's just like an investment. I have lots of little investments all over the place. One day I'm gonna sell all of'em just fuckin' live off of it.
So, like how much is this one worth?
- Which?
"Night Vision Goggles."
- I don't know. Mint? Uh, two, maybe three.
Dollars?
- Yeah. It's too early. You don't sell 'em yet. If you have a complete set, it's worth, like, thousands.
So do you have the complete set?
- Almost. The corners are bent on my "Friendly Fire," and someone stole my "Wolf Blitzer."
"Don't tease me about my hobbies. I don't tease you about being an asshole."The whole thing reminds me of that one dude from the "Garden State" flick...
