Nintendo World Champsion (NWC) Peice on EBay!
These things are worth a fortune. In fact only 26 have been made every. Why am I making a big deal about.
“For the competition, 116 special game cartridges were manufactured. 90 of these copies exist in a grey cartridge and were given out to semi-finalists of the 1990 NWC. 26 of these cartridges are gold – like the Legend of Zelda cartridge – and were given out to winners and runners-up in a contest held by Nintendo Power magazine.
To play the cartridge, one must have a controller inputed both controller ports and press start on the second player’s controller. For the competition, there was a special switch that would start all cartridges simultaneously.
Both versions of the cartridge feature DIP switches on the front, which can alter the time limit.
The Nintendo World Championships 1990 game cartridge is considered to be the rarest and most valuable NES cartridge released, promo cartridges aside.[1] Recently, a grey cartridge went on eBay and sold for a record $6,100, and a gold cartridge was up for sale on eBay with a Buy It Now purchase price of $20,000.
On April 17th, 2007, a gold cartridge was inadvertently sold by a father who was selling his sons possessions who had died in Iraq on myebid.com. The father was selling 24 cartridges, with no special attention paid to the Nintendo World Championships 1990 cartridge. The collection sold for $21,400[1]”
