Let me see at 41 thousand. Who in their right mind would invest that kind of money for a possibly fake box? Where is the proof it is genuine? Even the auction hits could be an inside generated to provide a buyer frenzy.

I'm pretty sure no one on this site would buy a game for $41,000; at least we would put the money in better use 8)

If the guy finds out its a fake, he will get his money back if he can prove it to ebay. Plus, anyone bidding that much must know how to tell if a box or shrink wrap is a fake. Still, game seems crappy. Its just sports stuff. Worth alot of money though.

Not only that, but it's the exact same game as World Class Track Meet. So they're paying tens of thousands for just a label variation.

I can understand an extremely rare game fetching a high price, but it's not like the buyer is actually gonna play this game! That's the worst part about it.

A PSA Gradeed 8 Action Comics #1 was the first comic to sell at auction for over a million USD. This happened just last week. Someone can correct me because I'm too lazy to look but I think it was about 60 to 70 years old.

Re: World Class Track Meet - I'm pretty sure the price will continue to rise, and people will keep paying it. Especially since it is supposedly sealed and legit. I'm sure it'll pop back up in 10-15 more years and sell for over 100K. I'd bet on it anyways. Thats just how things work. If I was single, didn't have a mortgage, wife, kids, 2 cars, and pets, and had excess money to spend I'd invest in it. I'd say it's a sure bet.
