Remember last year, when we reported that a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. about the NES sold for $ 114,000 at auction? Well, there is another copy being auctioned at the moment which is currently at $ 310,000 – and there are still seven days left before the auction closes.
Assuming the price increases in the coming days, there is a very real chance that a copy of one of the most common NES games will become the most expensive collectible video game of all time, surpassing even the Nintendo PlayStation – which currently exists only one unit known in the open market.
For comparison, there are 40.24 million copies of Super Mario Bros. in the world (not including re-releases).
Like the one that sold for $ 114,000, this edition has a cardboard flap, but is a later production.
