Own a legendary piece of board game history, directly tied to one of the most famous collectible stories. This is the original 1982 Parker Brothers Monopoly game that contains the highly sought-after "Astronaut B" pewter token. In 2006, a single 1982 Astronaut token (not the full game) famously sold for $32,000 on eBay, cementing its status as the "Holy Grail" of Monopoly collecting.
This is not just a game; it's a complete, time-capsule investment. The game box shows vintage character and wear consistent with its age, but the true value lies within. All components, including the rare metal tokens, are present. The opportunity here is to acquire the complete, original context for the legendary token—a true centerpiece for any serious collection of toys, historical ephemera, or pop culture artifacts.
Note: We are selling this as the complete, original 1982 Monopoly set. The valuation of the specific Astronaut token within it is subject to the current collector market. Authenticity of all components is guaranteed.
