Collector interest

Igo Meikan is a Sammy Famicom go program whose dramatic gap between loose and complete pricing betrays genuine box scarcity. Japanese board-game titles with low play appeal were often discarded unboxed, making CIB and sealed copies especially hard to assemble. Interest stems from this preservation desirability rather than from any real demand to play.
