Five priceless artifacts of the digital age that sold for peanuts

The first few listed sold for quite a lot.

$15,075 - one of several copies of Ada Lovelace's "Sketch of the Analytical Engine"

$6710 - One of two known first editions of "Moore's Law" outside of libraries

$6,710 - the first quarter Atari ever earned (according to the article, the exact same price as the previous one, weird coincidence?)

It compares these unfavorably to first edition comic books and trading cards.

But tbh these seem plenty pricy to me. Not exactly "peanuts"

Clickbait title / Listicle style headline ?

Yeah. I thought HN edits them automatically to remove listicle from headlines but this one slipped through?

It's a listicle, but I have to say the writing is pretty good and extensive.
