Does anyone ever get true, unbiased answers with these types of threads? If you are asking an interested party, they're gonna low-ball the value, if you are asking someone who owns one or plans to sell one, they are gonna claim that they are worth hundreds or thousands. Otherwise you'll get someone that will point you to some sort of a subjective price guide based on inconclusive, incomplete data. What are they worth to you? How much money would you need to get for each to feel happy about the sale?
 
Im just asking about whats the rarest one....Price is a bonus

For the most part wouldn't this coincide with the corresponding pcb rarity? I would think that every pcb had a topper originally so rare pcb = rare topper.

I suppose you need to account for destroyed and lost toppers...

Well, 5 years ago I woulda said Powerblade, but only because I had never heard of the game. I had no idea then how rare some of the toppers and carts really were. I just thought there were equal numbers produced for all of the PC-10 titles, as I'd see the toppers on eBay for $5 a pop pretty all day long. Then guys like Blackdog came around and hyped up everything Ninty, now values and reports of rarity are all over the place.

When I gathered values for my PC10 PCB project the prices came from the sales of other people for the most part. In fact, most of my listings that originally had made it on my list were later surpassed by others.

As for the toppers, I sold the few I had a long time ago and I have no intention on collecting them. I am, however, still tracking the values for each one to expand my PlayChoice 10 database. I would consider this to be unbiased to the purest extent.

If you are going on price...then so far I've found Solar Jetman to be at the top of the list. It sells for almost three times more than all of the other toppers I've kept track of so far. Granted, I am only a quarter of the way completed.
