You won't hear any argument from us, but you might from JJ Hendricks, a collector who just paid <A target="_blank" href="http://blog.videogamepricecharts.com/2009/06/how-i-got-nintendo-world-championships.html">a clinically insane $17,500</A> for an obscure NES game from 1990.

The game in question is an ultra-rare, gold-colored version of Nintendo World Championships, a cartridge specially produced for use in a Nintendo-sponsored gaming contest. According to Wikipedia only 26 were created, and Hendricks calls it the "Holy Grail" of video game collectors.

And while $17,500 might seem a bit much for a collection of ones and zeroes, Hendricks actually got a bargain: the game was originally listed on eBay for a cool $25,000.
