Action 52 retailed for $200. It's probably one of the most unique games on the NES. It might be terrible, but it's sure a collector's item.

I'm well aware of the history and whatnot about the game. I guess I just don't understand why collectors are so willing to spend so much on games that are essentially nothing more than novelty. Almost all of the most expensive titles out there aren't even really playable, ya know?

I got my copy of Action 52 from a guy I work with for free. Well not exactly free, I borrowed it off him and never gave it back! ;)

Refer to the Stadium Events that sold for $41,300 USD.
Stadium Events is World Class Track Meet. The game was even packaged together with Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. World Class Track Meet isn't a very good game.
Other examples: there's a guy on Famicom World and NintendoAge trying to sell a Square Button Famicom and a Stelleview CIB. Both are basically useless, but carry high simply because of the novelty factor. Action 52 is such a game. I won't sell it for less than $80, and that's probably the cheapest you'll find it outside of doing what BadChad did. Actually, it's rather fitting given his username! :D

Yeah thats pretty much the cheapest way to get it lol. Well considering he said it was buried in his closet for the longest time and was only recovered after his friend told him that Angry Videogame Nerd reviewed it, I see it more as rescuing it from an unworthy owner ;)
