Board Game Basement

You can buy a new car or 1,700 board games for about $35,000. Jeff Bauspies chose board games. He has an entire basement dedicated to his board games. His 1941 edition of Monopoly is worth $250 alone. The Franklin Mint version of Monopoly is worth double that! Jeff owns all the 3M Bookshelf Games, except for one that only has 100 copies in existence. That set is worth another $500 and the missing game costs that much on its own.
