Any great neo geo game is an exception to the rule...great titles costing 300-1000$ when mint and complete.

As far as emulation and burning...thats just...wrong. Its all up to you on what you want to spend...I wont even get into the prices I have spent on games...but I will say I spent over 350+ on ONE game...due to wanting it, it being complete and nice....and TO ME, being the greatest game of all time.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

Dracula X, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Radiant Silvergun were all worth the price I paid. Damn stellar titles.

But I agree, most "holy grails" are overly priced and not as good as one would hope. The 3 I mentioned are probably the only I'd consider as such... and in that are the only holy grails I really purchased.

I'd say Metal Gear 2 on MSX is worth the high price too.

That cracked me up.

For me, my holy grails are the games I've had since I was a kid, and have kept them in great condition. Box art, for me, was a good selling point, and NES games has some memorable cover art.
