They say that hope springs eternal, and I'll be darned, but I still believe that there has to be at least one millionaire or billionaire out there who strongly believes in preserving digital history, and just doesn't know about the Dumping Union yet.

Context: An auction of Nintendo's 70's title "Monkey Magic" a few years ago hit $4k. I was able to stump up 3k of that due to being flush from a bonus at work, but those times are long gone for me. It was only the 2nd time the game ever showed up for auction in 2 decades.
Meanwhile, there are even rarer titles of which only one are known to exist, like Taito's "Vertexer", where the one existing owner is looking for a low 5-figure sum. Outrageous? Yes. But when that board bitrots, that's it: The game is gone. Forever. Never re-released. No backups.

Is there a “want list” of titles you’re looking for? I can solder.

There is indeed! The Undumped Wiki is available here: https://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/index.php?title=Main_Page … It does a pretty good job of breaking down what's known about but not dumped. In addition it lists games that have been dumped but incorrectly.
