Collectable Value
The Nintendo World Championships 1990 game cartridge is considered to be the rarest and most valuable NES cartridge released, promo cartridges aside.[4] The NWC Gold cartridge is often compared to "holy grail" items from other collectible hobbies, such as the T206 Honus Wagner baseball card, or the Action Comics #1 comic book, and the gold variation has in fact been nicknamed "the holy grail of gaming" or "the holy grail of video game collecting". The circuit boards for the gold and gray cartridges are identical. The gold cartridges have no numbers and are almost impossible to track their origin like their gray counterparts. The gold casing holding is the same from The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link[5][6][7]
On 9/16/2009, a gray cartridge was sold at a garage sale at 76th and Emerson Street in Minneapolis for $2,000 cash but gray cartridges often bought from champions $5,000-$6,000.
In 1998, Mike Iaroosi sold his gray cartridge to a collector for $1,600. It was later sold in 2007 by the collector for $10,000 in a private sale.
On March 18, 2007 a listing appeared on Myebid.com in which a gold cartridge appeared to have been inadvertently included in a bereavement sale of 24 NES games; according to the auction, a father was selling the possessions of his deceased son. The auction ended at $21,400,[8] though collectors have speculated that neither the listing nor the bids were legitimate.[9][10]
To date, of the 26 NWC gold cartridges produced, only 12 copies have ever surfaced. In 2008, a gold cartridge went for $15,000,[11] and the next copy to surface sold in June 2009 for $17,500.[7] Most recently, in December 2009, JJGames presented a copy on eBay as part of a charity auction for World Vision; the auction ended with a winning bid of $13,600.[12] The high bidder failed to pay and the cartridge sold privately for $18,000.[13]
In February 2010, video game collector/reviewer Pat the NES Punk discovered and acquired a gray cart in the San Diego area for an undisclosed amount


People sometimes set things unreasonably high to see how much people will offer though. He's probably expectin some good money though, at least 10k

I'd probably understand if it were.. comics. (EVERYONE LAWLS) but I don't think I'd ever pay that much. no where NEAR that much. Not even 100. I just don't understand that kind of money spending.
