Yeah we get to the typical..
A:"Janky old cards that I claim to want are over $100 on eBay now, won't someone PLEASE make a modern replica/replacement."
... sometime later...
B:"I've come up with a way to build it using $150 worth of components, $10 for PCB, or I'll sell them assembled for $200"
A:"Scammer! It's only $100 on eBay for the real thing!" *still doesn't buy the one on eBay because he thought new ones should sell for $20, even though they cost $500 to make back int he 1990s, and have components that can be parted out used for $70*
( By the way, goldbugs gonna goldbug, but some other financial forecasters are predicting a run on gold this year, so if you've been meaning to pick up pre-2000 CPUs for $15 or $20, do it now, or the scrappers are gonna force them up to $100 real quick.)
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
