A raw Nes first print black seal Zanac selling for $7,460. I never knew this game was that sought after, but I guess most first print Pre-1987 Nes games are today.

Huh, I hadn't heard that? Where you get that info from?

Yeah, I really thought it was a legit seal, but I am not going to question Jonebone about Genesis' seals (or any seals for that matter). Jonas knows his seals better than almost anyone in the hobby.

Hopefully, he chimes back in here and tells what was off about this Madden's seal.

This was a reseal, thought most people realized that.

Ah, I didn't know that. Too bad! Thanks.

A very belated Congrats to you on this find! It is crazy 2 years after you found this and was taking offers forever for it, this "worthless" game has turned into (a) pure gold/half million dollar game! Hopefully, you ended up keeping it!

Wow, unreal! Very strong prices across the board! The sealed market is still very healthy. 

So far from the information that I can gather.

I don't do Pokemon but have been casually aware of this because of all of the hype.  The only info I can add that wasn't in the article:

The prior owner Shyne on IG did refund the $3.5M to Logan Paul.  I don't believe he has been refunded for the $2.7M purchase though, and his legal team was supposed to be on it.

Shyne is also the guy who bought the $400k Sonic on Goldin last year so I'm sure he's loaded.  

Interesting to know that Shyne was the buyer of the 400K Sonic. I wonder what he did/does in life to be such a baller!?

I don't know if this has been posted on here or talked about already. Just curious if anyone has been following this case and what your thoughts are. It was essentially brought to light by a little known Youtuber (Rattle Pokemon). Must watch video for any type of collector.

Here's a random data point: there are 8019 sealed NES games in this population report. You're welcome.

This puts some favorable context to how low that number really is, compared to other graded collectibles.

People are spending this money because they are rare, there's no way around that. Comparatively, 20,000 PSA graded Fleer Michael Jordan rookie cards are out there and they all command a very high price, always at least 4 figures. Twenty. Thousand. Jordan hasn't played basketball in nearly 20 years, but the popularity is still there. Sure he might be the GOAT. Mario 3 is arguably the NES GOAT. It's just all dependent upon demand. Will Mario 3 be able to command that type of popularity in demand? Time will tell.

this is true but if you add BGS and SGC graded Jordan Fleer rookies to the total, it swell to over 30,000 graded Jordan rookie cards out there!

Goldin officially has my attention with this sealed SNES Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball. First of its kind to hit the major auction block and up until the last 2 raw copies went up for auction on ebay over the last several months, this sealed title has been a white buffalo of mine for nearly 20 years.

I know that you have been talking about this game for a while now and you might be on to something/correct about it, because it is currently leading the pack at $3,750. Good call on this one! Sports games are rising in price.

This is from a big time sports cards collector/Youtuber who has recently entered the video game hobby.

I am seeing a lot of activity on Ebay with sealed Nes games being bought and/or taken down/price adjusted. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out, when the dust has settled a little. 

Very interesting/surprising to see that Super Mario Bros 2 is the rarest of the 3 Super Mario Bros by a pretty large number. I honestly thought it would have been Super Mario Bros.

Of course Super Mario Bros will always be the most desired of the 3 for obvious reasons.

Under 20 Double Dribble! 19 lol.

Of course I just bought a raw one, so enjoy it while you can!

Very nice pickup! The first truly great basketball game on any system and a Konami release! It sold well at the inaugural Goldin Auctions and with more sports card collectors entering the hobby, I can see this title being even more desired (low Pop Count) in the very near future.

A big shout out/thank you to WATA Games for releasing the POP report! I think this will have a significant and positive effect on the video community/hobby.

There are less graded sealed games than i thought , i mean for example if you compare this to a comic book pop report the sealed games are a rarity 

I agree 100%. Sealed Nes games are also much more rare than graded sports cards and action figures by a wide margin.

We are live, enjoy!

Just checked it out. It looks awesome! A very large amount of games on there for sale already.

A big congratulations on the launch. I am so happy because it gives us collectors another option/safer place than Ebay to sell our games. Thank so much for doing this.

This is awesome! I will definitely be supporting this site/venture and wish it all the best for success! Congrats and I hope that I can sell some of my games on there:).

Last month, someone sold 4 qty for $1500. The same seller sold a 6pk in Aug for $6000.

Ok, so this is one of those "warehouse" finds that is often talked about.

So, I imagine that Sonic 2's price will/should fall in price.

Wouldn't this be considered a really good deal? $1,000 a piece for a factory sealed Genesis Sonic 2 straight from the factory case!
