A rare 1987 edition of The Legend of Zelda playing card in its original unopened packaging is put up for auction at Heritage at auction house. The bid currently stands at $ 110,000, which corresponds to HUF 32,644,590 at today’s exchange rate.
There are four days left until the bid closes. According to the auction house’s rating, the playing card wrapped in a gold paper box is in 9.0 condition, a true “Holy Grail”. The game has such value not only because of its condition. This type of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) A-Edition was only produced in 1987 for a few months, with only the NES TM version, the first production series is more valuable.

If the price offered for Zelda continues to rise, it could even become one of the most expensive Nintendo cartridges sold in the world. Last July dated a Super Mario game, also released for the Nintendo NES console for $ 114,000 (at today’s exchange rate for $ 33,823,914, then for $ 35.6 million). The Mario tape, in perfect condition, surpassed the Heritage Auction House’s previous $ 100,150 video game record, which was also paid for by a Super Mario.
But outside of Heritage’s auctions, old Nintendo cartridges have already been offered and bought for an incredible amount. THE Gamesradar according to the most expensive game ever sold was a 9.6 Super Mario Bros., which was made in the fourth production line of cards issued for the NES and someone paid $ 660,000, or $ 195,818,700, for it in April this year.
Toys made for Nintendo’s old consoles, while usually sold in millions, pieces left in good condition represent unconscious value in the reseller and used market. While unpackaged, used cartridges move at an affordable price, although it’s not uncommon for a single game to be priced for a new console, pieces with unopened foil represent a uniqueness for which they are smoothly willing to pay millions for their cultural value. There are toys purchased by collectors to be placed in a private collection, but it is not uncommon for them to become exhibits in museums dealing with culture, video games and computer technology.
