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 在童年家中的阁楼发现了没用过完好的任天堂卡带 Kid Icarus，收据是写着
1988年。
后来和家人讨论应该小时候的圣誔节礼物，只是被大家给忘了就没动过了。
他本来觉得这能卖个几百美金吧！
结果拿去问了专家后，最后以九千美金被买走。

Kid Icarus 很稀有?

可能完全没开过的收藏价值很高吧

查了一下 目前世上没开过的Kid Icarus估算不超过十个

跟处男反过来(′・ω・‵)

只要是任天堂的卡带没拆的都值钱吧...

只有像外国人这样圣诞节礼物收到手软才会忘记有些地区真的很夸张 基本上只要是认识没交恶的就要送尤其亲戚或同事朋友的小孩基本上全送

海外版没拆才值钱
