Lately we have seen a number of retrogaming cornerstones being auctioned for staggering amounts, but there hasn’t been any talk of the blue hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog yet.
After the really crazy prices at which Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda cartridges (both for the NES) and Super Mario 64 were sold, recently it was the turn of the hedgehog of the SEGA (Sonic the Hedgehog) end up under the auctioneer’s gavel. But let’s go ahead calmly.
The cartridge for Sega Genesis, the American version of the Sega Mega Drive, from Sonic the Hedgehog it was therefore sold for well $ 430,500 on Goldin Auctions with a lot of certification MOON. One of the most important classification societies recently ended up in the center of controversy as its co-founder was accused of having manipulated the market of the major retrogaming titles.

Doubts were then expressed by one of the creators of the blue hedgehog, Yuji Naka, directly from his profile Twitter who wondered if we were faced with yet another case of fraud. It also seems to be of the same opinion youtuber Karl Jobs who talked about the affair during one of his latest videos. MOON, for its part, stated the following:
Wata Games is the trusted leader in collectible video game classification and we are honored to play a key role in this booming industry that we are incredibly passionate about. We are honored by the support of our thousands of customers who trust us to provide accurate and transparent evaluation. The claims in this video are completely unfounded and defamatory and it is a shame that Mr. Jobst did not contact us to give us the opportunity to correct it
