In the last few months, there has been a mysterious rise in the price of a certain card from the trading card game known as \u201cBoy Crazy!<\/strong>\u201d The game was originally released back in the year 2000 by a publisher in the United States called Decipher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card in question is #154 Jason Colorado, which is currently selling on auction websites for around 500 times that of other cards from the game. So the question is: Was this actually a rare card from the set or did something happen relating to the young boy named Jason? When one such curious fan asked the question on Twitter, it led to an unexpected revelation.

Boy Crazy!<\/em> is a trading card game originally published back in 2000. Each card includes a photograph of a different handsome boy between the age of 12 and 22, as well as information about him such as his height, eye color, and favorite type of music. All one needs in order to play is a deck of cards and a writing utensil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, one player draws 9 random cards from the deck and decides which of those boys they like the best. That player then writes down the boy\u2019s name and the reason they chose him on a piece of paper, keeping it hidden from everyone else. The other players then look at the 9 cards and try to guess which boy the first player chose. Correct guesses earn you a point. It\u2019s a very simple card game that was designed for young girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game reviewer and science fiction author Kosaku Akano is known for being an avid game collector, one such game being Boy Crazy!<\/em> He often acquires these via overseas auction sites, but on May 8, 2021, he made a tweet mentioning his puzzlement at why the prices of these kinds of cards have gone up so much over the last few years.
