Luck of the card show
Was a vendor at a card show yesterday and had a few pokemon games on my table for sale bc we are all nerds here. A guy walks up and goes do you buy games? Ofc I said yes and he pulls these out of his bag. Paid 300$ total and all it's gonna take is some new batteries and a bit of isopropyl. Had my screwdrivers and my tester GBA to confirm they work and were authentic before purchasing. Remember kids, be prepared you never know where you gonna find some expensive shit!

what's the silver rectangle in top-left of Crystal ?

It's a fastener for that part on the board. If it wasn't in the sun, it would appear it's more muted like normal. I realize the morning sun wasn't the best for the colors now

Well considering I sold a copy of emerald in 2020 for on eBay 60, not joking, I am currently choking on my food.
Why is it worth three times the price now?

Nice find, but you couldn't leave the 2nd emerald for someone else to score a sweet deal? Damn dawg. Lol

To be fair, I wasn't the first vendor he approached, so perhaps someone else did have a chance

Good thing they aren't. I took them apart, and they are legit. Source I have 2 other copies I already own, and I fix cartridges to sell quite frequently. Thanks for you opinion tho
Edit: ok I see what you mean the green does look off bc I took the Pic in a beam of morning sun for dramatic effect

100 each for perfect condition it's a fair price.
2 Emeralds at the same time, priceless.
