![]() There are some caveats when dealing with such a huge sample. In this piece, we have looked across generations of gaming systems, including Japanese and European releases, in determining the rarest and most valuable sports games.

(This is a good opportunity to look for valuable games that most people wouldn’t realize are worth much) Outside of a few classics that are still played (but worth hardly anything) through fan competitions or online leagues, the shelf life for sports games is incredibly short and the basic tenants of supply and demand dictate that many are worth just a fraction of their original retail price. For years, the steady giants like Madden or FIFA have been mass produced across numerous gaming platforms, becoming nearly irrelevant just a year later when the next iteration is released.
