Awesome. Used to have that. Had to get rid of it, SMB 3 and my NES due to epilepsy. It's all good now, haven't had any seizures in years.Super Mario Bros.+Duck Hunt combo cart, I have it framed up.
That is an amazing find. If I remember correctly, there were only 1000 or 2000 copies of the Fortune Hunter Editions made and most were given to the media/press and a few were given out in contests. I'm amazed there was someone dumb enough to just donate theirs.Not a game but part of rare, not sold in store collector's edition -> Uncharted 2's Dagger statue (from fortune hunter edition). Only 200 made.
Found it at Goodwill for $7.99 2 years ago. A CAGer offered to buy it for $500 which I gladly turned down his/her offer.

Yeah the GW's price sticker is still on it. My lame as friends still don't think I got it for $8 so every time they come watch football on Sunday, it's (I have it display on a top shelf above the TV) right there on their FACE.Rarest, as in least produced, would probably be the Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition or a complete copy of Shantae.
In terms of most valuable, I've got quite a few rare/valuable games in the $100-200 range, but the most valuable would be a sealed Last of Us Post-Pandemic Edition... for some reason, these are hitting anywhere from $800-1000 on eBay. They were only like $300-400 a few months ago. I never expected anything I own to be worth that much but I guess LoU is just that popular. I also bought an extra one just in case the first was damaged... I ended up keeping both and opened one to play. Glad I ended up with two of these.

Out of curiosity, are you keeping that price tag on there on purchase? Normally, I'm not a fan but that's such a great story that I would do the same if it was me.![]()
I keep forgetting that the toploader is a bit on the rare side. I love mine just wish the video output wasn't crap.Like a few others here, the rarest (or at least most valuable) game in my "archives" seems to be the Ni no Kuni Wizard's Edition. It's a truly excellent CE for a good game, although it's a shame what happened with theed-up preorders.
That's a boring answer though so I will say out of my retro collection it's probably The House of the Dead (Saturn, CIB) or Harvest Moon (SNES, cart only). Both of which I paid practically nothing for.
Rarest consoles are probably my Virtual Boy, NES Top Loader, and Atomic Blue N64.
*adds game to must-buy list*I also own MS Saga and an English copy of Shining the Holy Ark.
If you like Golden Sun you should try out Shining The Holy Ark.
