Rare Zelda Game Sells for Record-Breaking $55,000

It's not every day that you would come upon a rare, unopened copy of a Zelda game prototype and when it did, it fetched a pretty penny on eBay. The $55k topped the prior record for a factory sealed game of $41k. Collectors are strange animals. If it's factory sealed, how do they know what's in it? Irked by the fact that 1986's Stadium Events, while rare and almost unheard of in its unopened state, though not historically relevant, earned such a high selling price, Curtin set his sights on the big money.
