Nintendo World Championship gold sold for $17,500

The Nintendo World Championship Gold was bought by JJ Hendricks after it failed to sell for the pre-asked price which is $25,000. Amusingly, the first FedEx shipment for the rare video game was canceled due to its having the wrong address. Moreover, the seller was going to sell it to someone else who was ready to pay $18,500 in cash and pick it up locally, but the offer fell through.

When JJ Hendricks finally received the shipment, he was pleased to find the Nintendo World Championships Gold neatly packaged inside with a custom built display case. He calls it the “Holy Grail of Gaming.” There were only ever 26 of the NWC Gold ever made and they are not real gold but just gold paint.

“The next morning at 7:30AM the FedEx man comes to the door. I quickly open everything up half expecting some other problem. Nintendo World Championships Gold is neatly packaged inside with a custom built display case and looks just as good as I imagined it would.”
