    I've still got my grey cart. Looks like it's more valuable than ever, so I guess it's been a good move keeping it. It's just sitting among all my other loose N64 carts in a plastic tub, so it's not even getting any special treatment, haha.

    Depends on your definition of a few. I've always taken "few" to mean 3-5 years, ballpark, but I suppose if this were a legal case, your lawyer could argue you that what you meant was "10-15" years and your prediction wouldn't necessarily be wrong (yet) ;-)

    I seem to remember there being more copies on eBay when the existence of the grey cart first became widely known. I imagine a lot of people who realized they had copies rushed to cash in. There are currently seven copies available on eBay, but most are priced way beyond what the recent sold copies went for, so they've probably been sitting on there for all eternity. There are four recently (as in, going back to January) sold copies. The value may drop some eventually, but I don't think that would come within the next few years or from a flood of newly available copies. I think it would take N64 collecting as a whole to go the way of pre-crash collecting and wane in popularity. But if 8-bit collecting is still pretty hot, I don't see 5th gen nostalgia dying down for a while. And with pre-crash collecting, it was more so the common stuff that lost some value, rather than the rarer items.

    Don't seem to be as many gray Aidyn Chronicles, but I guess there's just not as much internet hype.

    What were the circumstances behind that grey version? I remember hearing Aidyn Chronicles was super buggy, so it'd be nice if there was a version out there with some fixes.

    There's not any backstory as far as i know, but some are gray for some reason. The gray ones are far rarer than the black ones, even on ebay.

    Makes me wonder how they've been authenticated. It would suck if they're just pirates that people have assumed are a legit variant.

    I am certain that the grey variant is legit but of course like.any game, there could be fakes out there. im sure if I went on eBay right now I could find a copy of the cart "brand new" from China for $20 as I could with many N64 carts
