Today, an extremely rare Nintendo World Championship commemorative edition NES cartridge was auctioned on the auction website Goldin with a starting price of US$10,000, and bidding will stop on August 18.


It is said that Nintendo Power once issued a limited edition of 26 commemorative cartridges, and the golden cartridge being auctioned this time is one of them. This is the first time that this batch of cartridges has been sold publicly in ten years.


It’s worth mentioning that according to data from price tracking platform Price Charting, the last time a Nintendo World Championship cartridge was publicly sold was in 2015, when it was sold on eBay for as much as $26,677.

As of the time of this article's publication, the auction price of Goldin's previous cassette has reached $49,000. Considering that there are still 25 days until the auction ends, the price still has a lot of room to rise. We don't know how high the final price will be. Let's wait and see.
