Man Finds Rare NES Game In Attic, Sells It For $9000
https://tinyurl.com/yyy95c5o
Reno man Scott Amos was going through some possessions from the attic of his
childhood home the other day when he came across something: an unopened copy
of Kid Icarus for the Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with receipt
from 1988.
As the Reno Gazette Journal reports, nobody from Amos’ family can exactly
remember why the game was up there, but it’s a fairly convincing theory that
it was bought as a Christmas present for Scott and then, for whatever reason,
forgotten about and never given (the receipt is from December 8, 1988).
“It was kind of funny — I saw it was sealed, and I thought it was worth a
couple hundred dollars,” Amos told the Journal. “I go to work the next day
and emailed a couple of experts. One of them wrote me back within 30 minutes
and said, ‘You have an Easter egg.’”
Once he’d spoken further with the experts, he knew he had something very
special on his hands. Heritage Auctions’ Valarie McLeckie said of the game “
To find a sealed copy ‘in the wild,’ so to speak, not to mention one in
such a nice condition and one with such transparent provenance, is both an
unusual and rather historic occurrence. We feel that the provenance will add
a significant premium for serious collectors.”
The copy sold over the weekend for $9000, and Amos already has some fun plans
on how to spend the unexpected windfall.
“I have an older sister, too. We’re splitting (the proceeds) 50-50. We’re
going to do a Disney World vacation next month”, he told the Journal. “
Instead of doing something responsible, we’re going to have some fun with it.

Scott Amos 在童年家中的閣樓發現了沒用過完好的任天堂卡帶 Kid Icarus，收據是寫著
1988年。
後來和家人討論應該小時候的聖誔節禮物，只是被大家給忘了就沒動過了。
他本來覺得這能賣個幾百美金吧！
結果拿去問了專家後，最後以九千美金被買走。

Kid Icarus 很稀有?

可能完全沒開過的收藏價值很高吧

查了一下 目前世上沒開過的Kid Icarus估算不超過十個

跟處男反過來(′・ω・‵)

只要是任天堂的卡帶沒拆的都值錢吧...

只有像外國人這樣聖誕節禮物收到手軟才會忘記有些地區真的很誇張 基本上只要是認識沒交惡的就要送尤其親戚或同事朋友的小孩基本上全送

海外版沒拆才值錢
