I have a specific one in mind I just can't recall which channel posted it. I'll get back to you after I've had a chance to do some digging.

A lot of those prices for collectables, like retro games, are grossly skewed by "rating" companies. They buy/sell them internally to artificially inflate the price. There are some good documentaries about it on YouTube.

Side note - this is a similar scheme to what many saw with wild NFT price increases. Many, probably most, were done in a way where money never changed hands.
