Touching is (not) good: a Miyamoto-signed Phat

When Swedish eBayer Mikael was lucky enough to win a Shigeru Miyamoto-autographed DS at E3 2005, he did the only sensible thing: he sealed it away from the harmful effects of light and dust forever. Or at least, until now.
This pristine, fingerprint-free Pearl White model is currently on eBay, where it lies at the $760 mark with over a week to go. Is it worth that? For something you're likely not going to use, probably not, but this is easily one of the nicest autographed DSes we've seen. The combination of gold on white reeks of class, and Miyamoto's famous signature is, as usual, fun and playful. The fact that it's a Phat only increases its appeal to us.

Why didn't he save it until the DS Phat became vintage, where sealed were becoming scarce?
That seems ridiculously collectable, and if you have the bucks to spend, I think it's worth it.

Maybe he's been effected by this crappy economy and has to sell it...

Oh wow who called in the grammar police?

Isn't that spelling?

The definition of grammar could definitely be interpreted to include spelling.

DO WANT!, but I don't think those are boobs... Okay maybe they are.

Crazyness ... but I'd get it if I had the money just to seal it away myself, lol.

Dammit, I want to slowly torture whoever came up with calling it the -phat- of all damned things.

If I had the cash to buy it, I would definitely play it.

Wow lots of jerks here today. Perhaps your wallets are feeling the credit crunch?
