I saw a man wearing a Game Boy Advance with Pokemon Yellow as the pendant of a big chain around his neck a few days ago while riding the train.

I couldn't imagine doing that when I got one. It was so precious to me then, but now the GBA is practically worthless except to archivists and the sentimental.

It makes me wonder if someone will be doing wearing a necklace made of an iPhone in a couple of decades.



The Pokemon Yellow cartridge is probably more valuable than the GBA.


It isn’t. At least not unless it’s boxed with manual and in mind condition. But then that’s not really a fair comparison because if the GBA was boxed then that would be worth more too.

Gameboy games are the one area of retro consoles that hasn’t ballooned in price during the last few years plus Pokemon Yellow is a pretty common game too.

That said, GBAs aren’t exactly commanding a high price tag either. So there isn’t actually that much between the two price wise.
