Old basketball games are somewhat of a niche genre when it comes to video game collecting, and as I noted, many of them are too common to fetch a high price just because of their age. However, I’ve been made aware of some other titles that are tough to affordably source, at least through a market like eBay. Last year I took a look at five old basketball games that are very expensive to collect, and there’s some overlap with this article. You might pay a little more for complete-in-box, but they’re mostly very affordable to collect.Īnd then, there are the old basketball games that have shot up in price. Even games from the 90s – such as the Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of NBA Live 95 – are generally cheap, as there are quite a number of copies in circulation. Got your hands on an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, and feel like taking a trip down memory lane with NBA Live 10? Even on eBay, you’ll likely pay less than ten dollars, Australian or US. When it comes to sourcing copies of old NBA Live and NBA 2K releases, you won’t end up paying too much.
This week’s Five is a list of five old basketball games that have shot up in price on the collectors’ market in recent years.
The feature is presented as either a list of five items, or in the form of a Top 5 countdown. Welcome to this week’s edition of The Friday Five! The Friday Five is a feature that I post every Friday in which I give my thoughts on a topic that’s related to NBA Live, NBA 2K, and other basketball video games, as well as the real NBA, and other areas of interest to our community.
