A rare game "Super Mario Bros." sold for three million dollars

A rare copy of the original 'Super Mario Bros.' video game, complete with its original NES console and packaging, has been sold at auction for $3 million. The game was sealed in its original plastic wrap and features a shiny label introduced by Nintendo in 1986 before switching to recyclable packaging. This particular copy is considered the best of only three known examples with this label and has been graded PSA 9.6 A++. It is noted as the first time such an unopened version has appeared at public auction.

Igra je posljednjih 40 godina stajala netaknuta u kutiji zajedno s konzolom iz lansirne serije NES Control Deck, u originalnom pakovanju s očuvanom plastikom, navodi Heritage Auctions.

Ono što ovaj primjerak čini posebno vrijednim jeste to što ima netaknut sjajni pečat, koji je uveden 1986. godine na kratko vrijeme prije nego što je Nintendo prešao na pakovanje igara u termoskupljajuću ambalažu.

Samo tri poznata primjerka druge proizvodnje s ovom sjajnom naljepnicom danas postoje, a ovaj je najbolji među njima i ocijenjen je ocjenom PSA 9.6 A++.

"Ova specifična verzija nikada se nije pojavila na javnoj aukciji u zapečaćenom stanju, što naglašava koliko je rijetka", navodi se u opisu Heritage Auctions.

Pošto ove igre nisu bile zaštićene plastikom, pronaći primjerak u ovako dobrom stanju decenijama nakon izlaska je prava rijetkost. Igra i konzola s kojom je bila u paketu potiču s testnog tržišta u Los Angelesu iz ranih dana širenja Nintenda u SAD-u.
