97 Super Mario Bros NES cartridges set to be "melted down" turn out to be a lot more valuable than the gold…
A collector discovered a box of 97 pristine Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridges for the Nintendo Entertainment System, believed to be from an undocumented late 1993 production run. These cartridges were originally intended to be melted down for gold but were instead stored for over 20 years. The discovery is significant for retro game collectors due to the rarity and unique variant of the cartridges.
