A car emblem from 1997, belonging to the rare Nissan Skyline Nismo 400R, is being sold on eBay for $40,040, even showing signs of use.
Considered a collector’s item in the automotive market, it attracts attention for its exclusivity. This specific model is an icon in the Japanese domestic market (JDM) and stands out for its rarity, being compared to valuable items from other collecting universes, such as Pokémon cards.
The seller claims to have removed the emblem from the trunk of their own Skyline 400R years ago, and the high valuation is due to its historical status and the difficulty of finding original parts for this model.
Despite the high price, collectors see value in the piece because of its connection to such a unique vehicle.
The sale reflects how the collectibles market can assign impressive prices to specific items. Just like rare cards or nostalgic objects, the emblem combines exclusivity, cultural appeal, and a story that justifies the investment for enthusiasts.
