Over the past 12 months, the record for the most expensive video game ever has risen dramatically. Here’s the timeline of the record, as far as I am aware:

July 10th, 2020: copy of Super Mario Bros. sells for$114,000

November 23rd, 2020: copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 sells for$156,000

April 2nd, 2021: copy of Super Mario Bros. sells for$660,000

July 9th, 2021: copy of The Legend of Zelda sells for$870,000

July 11th, 2021: copy of Super Mario 64 sells for$1,560,000

It’s not just video games that have skyrocketed. The value ofPokémon cards has been on a tear, too, and eBay even announced a feature for its app to make iteasier to scan trading cards to sell on the auction site. The prices ofNFTs, a form of digital collectibles,seems to be dropping, though.
