Jobst goes even further, claiming that the interviews and television appearances by Kahn on shows like Pawn Stars are also a part of this scheme to inflate retro game prices and further put Wata on the map. So, Jobst sums up, an auction house chairman created a press release for his own record-price purchase and then used that to advertise that same game going up for auction in the future in his auction house. Heritage Auctions publicized this world record-smashing sale with a press release that included a quote from Wata’s Kahn on video game collecting’s upward trajectory not slowing down anytime soon. He notes that this copy was allegedly bought by Halpern, game collector Rich Lecce, and Just Press Play founder Zac Gieg.
In his video investigation, Jobst brings up the previous record holder in the video games world, a copy of Super Mario Bros that was graded by Wata and sold for $100,150.
