This sealed Super Mario Bros. could become the most expensive collectible video game of all time

Remember last year when we reported that a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. on the NES sold for $ 114,000 at auction? Well, there’s another copy up for auction right now, which currently stands at $ 310,000 – and it still has seven days to go until auction closes.

Assuming the price rises in the next few days, there’s a good chance a copy of one of the more common NES games will become the most expensive collectible video game of all time, even surpassing the Nintendo PlayStation. – of which there is currently only one known unit on the free market.

For the sake of comparison, there is 40.24 million copies of Super Mario Bros. worldwide (not including re-releases).

Like the one that sold for $ 114,000, this edition has a cardboard hanger tab, but is a later production.
