There is probably some 30 something nerd somewhere still in tears because his mom cleaned up his room/basement and threw out his 'old' Nintendo games.

Hamm wished her well and, before she left, asked if he could take a picture of the rarest item ever to come through his door. "I felt honored just to hold it," he said.

"It's given people a lot of hope," Hamm said, referring to this thread on the Nintendo Age forums. "People say that they never find anything at their Goodwill, well, the holy grail has been found there."

"I felt honored just to hold it," said the man sitting on a stack of CIB TG-16 Magical Chases.

It's sad that the "holy grail" for true video game collectors has so little value as an actual game.

It's much worse, he's the kind of guy who flips game for profit and whose collection consists of his current stock. His passion is price inflation, not video games.

Was this woman's name DragonMasterDan?  I know we have our own forum member with a similar Stadium Events story :)

Hopefully she is some average joe(sephine?) that can really use the money.  That would make this story more rewarding when she profits off of some moron.
