There are some more rare computer parts for sure not saying adlibs are not but I just dont think it will ever arise to the level to the level of rarity that i think some people think they are. 🤣 To be real, something mass produced in a factory, with millions of copies produced somewhere automatically kills it. If it is somthing only thousands ever existed. That be a different story. 🤣 😘
But that is how you determine the real value of something that is. If someone can probably find a real adlib somewhere. Its not at all like other items that you can search for years and not find one. 🤣 😘 😀 😵
It's a mistake many collectors make in all fields of collecting in over valuing the things they collect. Just becasue it has a box doesn't really change the fact that these cards were sh*t out of factorys.
Problem is when our generation gets older and starts to die, and all of the things that go hoarded will start floating on to the market and the younger generations not only wont care about them but there will be more in the wild driving costs down. Just like the baby boomer generation might of collected popeye stuff now they start to die off and plenty of popeye sh*t is around and no one wants it because it wasn't really rare to begin with and only they cared.
edit
The last fact is having a billion replicas floating around might not affect collectors who want the real thing but it actually kills the value of them because anyone who wants an adlib card can have one and that means people who wanted one are not going to pay a price of somong who is out of their minds. 🤣 😘
