| Found a Sealed Super Mario Bros - Realistic Value? |

So I recently picked up a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros for the NES at a local thrift store. It's a genuine REV-A with the H-seal. There's no top hanger though. It's in very good condition. Anyone have any idea on the value or what it could realistically go for on eBay? I searched sold listings and saw a couple similar ones that sold for $1k-$2k. I know the top hanger and tester sticker ones are more valuable. I wonder if mine was originally a top hanger and the hanger fell off or was peeled off at some point over the years. Does anyone know for sure if all REV-A's were top hangers? Thanks for any help. |

I think the hang tab is a factor as well but I don't remember. I have a couple of round seal boxes in my collection but my games were Frankenstein'd together over the years. Wish I could be of more help. :P |

Thanks. Mine has the white oval seal unfortunately, so I think that means its a slightly later release probably around 1989-1990 according to the article below. I found this very helpful article while doing so more research on these black box releases and different variations. https://www.watagames.com/learn/blog/post/nes-black-box-variant-guide/ It explains the differences and even ties them to a release date period they were sold. |

As for listing this on eBay, would you recommend running an auction with a reserve or a straight buy it now? What would you guys set the price at if you were selling this? Thanks! |

Throw it on eBay with a reserve of whatever you think is your bottom dollar. I’d expect it to go past $2k these days. If you want to sell it to me, I’ll give you a sweet $50 for it. |
