homerwannabee Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) The NES is the most collected for system in the world. It's not just that it's rare, it's the demand for NES stuff as well. For instance there are certain Atari 2600 items that are much rarer than this game that would not come close to this price like a boxed Lochjaw, River Patrol, or Video Life. For instance if this Stadium Events had been an Atari 2600 game with the same exact numbers it would probably go for 1/10th the value that it is going for now.
