Golden verison.
 
Dont you guys mean Nintendo World Championships Gold Edition? Only 25 or so are known to be out there. I actually held the more comman (but still uber rare) grey cart in my hand.

Also a couple unliscened "porno games" "Bubble Bath Babes, Hot Slots and Peek a Boo Poker. A friend back in the day had all three.

But two rare games worth owning because they're simply some of the best on the NES: Fire n Ice and Little Samson.
 
Some of the most expensive NES carts out there are the unreleased prototypes. There are a small number of Earthbound 1 prototype cartridges in existence, and most of the collectors guard them viciously.
 
I had the only known prototype of Chuck Yeager's Fighter Combat unreleased game for NES and it only went for $2,600 on eBay, so some of those released NES carts can definitely fetch more.

Is there a cool story behind how you got it?

Yes, my company was making GameHandler for NES (the first one-hand motion controller for a Nintendo system!) and we were thinking about bundling it with some software. Among other games we looked at, this guy came up to me at the CES show and thought we might be a good fit since our controller was modeled after an F-14 fighter control stick and he just had Electronic Arts turn down his Chuck Yeager game because they thought it was too complicated for the NES. He walked by our booth and gave me what he said was the only copy of the prototype game with his card and said to call him about it. We went back and forth a few times, but ended up not publishing his game. He didn't want it back because he figured we were his last best chance to get it done, and so he moved on to other projects.
 
The brothers who bought it said they plan on releasing a repro of the game, so I'd keep checking over at NintendoAge.com from time to time. The game appears to be complete. Everyone was excited because they had never heard of it before I put it up on eBay. (My username at Nintendo Age is www.MyWantList.com )
