Earlier this month, a $90,000 eBay sale of a rare version of the original NES Castlevania made headlines, but for the game's buyer, the real adventure was getting the game back home.
Collector Tom Curtin, who now co-owns the rare Castlevania alongside a childhood friend, tells Kotaku that he flew to Texas to pick up the game, took it to Florida to get it properly graded, and then flew it back home to deposit it in a New England bank vault. "Our adventure to pick it up will be something I look back on forever," Curtain says.
