Untouched NES game cartridges worth thousands discovered in Wisconsin

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A retro game shop owner in Wisconsin discovered a collection of 97 unopened Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges for Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros. These cartridges are believed to be rare, never-before-seen versions, with some receiving perfect scores from PSA grading. The owner acquired the lot years ago for a nominal price, unaware of their significant value, which is now estimated to be thousands of dollars per cartridge, with some potentially reaching five figures at auction.
