An unopened copy of Super Mario Bros. of Nintendo that was bought in 1986 and later forgotten in a desk drawer was sold at auction for $ 660,000.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas said the video game was sold on Friday.

The auction house said the video game was purchased as a Christmas present, but ended up being placed in a desk drawer, where it remained sealed in plastic and with the flap intact until it was found earlier this year.
“Since the production window for this copy and the like was so short, finding another copy of this same production performed under similar conditions would be the same as looking for a single drop of water in an ocean,” said Valarie McLeckie, a specialist in Heritage video games.

Heritage said it is the best copy known to have been professionally classified for auction. Its selling price far exceeded the $ 114,000 that another unopened copy produced in 1987 obtained at a Heritage auction last summer.
