That whitewood looks pretty awesome. The hunt mode looks cool and very difficult. Seems unlikely that the general public will get to play these games without having to buy them.

Did not factor inflation at all. Instead just compared the same amount spent on the same date vs buying shares of an S&P 500 index. Thanks for the comment. Did not factor inflation at all.

Your purchase of the Creature From the Black Lagoon pin in 1998 for $1300, would take $1730 in today's dollars to buy, ignoring the value of it. So if you sold it for the valued price of $3500 today, you'd be realizing a profit of $1770 (still very well). Are you taking inflation into account with any of those numbers?

But the condition of most was decent and the final price for everything turned out to be more than fair. We are all happy with the deal. But we certainly did it more for the love of the hobby, to save some games and get them in hands of collectors -- and not to make big bucks or anything.
