this is legit as I bought it from Nintendo nearly 30 years ago. it's barely played, so I need to find out what its grade is from an appraiser. I don't really know how much these go for, because it could change a lot depending on the grade.

You got yourself a gold nugget there.
A search on ebay shows that there's two other copies being sold.
One for 10k USD (not graded but CIB)
and
one for 12k (graded but loose)

I wouldn't say it's gold since they aren't sold.

Probably several grand, it might be worth more if he get it graded.
It come down to the person, for someone who collect these, they might be willing to pay.
I mean there are even crazier price.

That's reedoncolous
I guess you're paying for the rarity and not for any added game features.
There were only 2500 copies done at the time, leaves you wondering how many are left to this day.

I'm probably going to have it graded to get a premium amount for it, plus prove that it's a legit copy as there are reproduction cartridges. not a bad markup, considering I got it from Nintendo for $30.
Aw yiss, don't forget us when you're rich and living the high life.
I found the grading place. it looks like it costs $40 if it's valued up to $2,500 and $50 beyond that, if I'm understanding it correctly. plus, there's a $5 handling fee, which may go into shipping the game back. I need to do this soon before I forget about it.

I think the appraisal/slab system is flawed, couldn't someone with some know-how open one of those cases and swap out with a replica (or damaged replacement) same with comic books. I think a better appraisal is leveraging your standing with this forum along with filming the cartridge disassembly yourself. If the cartridge is "slabbed" in a box, you can't accomplish this if a buyer wants better proof. That's just my 2 cents
just asked about price, because it's somewhat confusing. then, I'll send it off. seems to be worth three times more if it comes with the box.
