It really is that rare, far more rare than the Famicom SP just out. I actually know the seller and have gotten stuff from him before. If I'd known he had one of those, I might have had it for cheaper
I've bought loads from that seller too! Christer is one of the best around at tracking down rare stuff. I got a bundle of rare Marty games from him.
He was trying to sell me that, I didn't know it was worth that much to be honest.
He told me he ended the auction early because he thought it was going for too much (!) and the second placed bidder complained like hell because he was willing to pay even more. God knows how much it would have ended up at ...
It was released in 1987 and was given away as a prize for a Nintendo F1-Race (the case is based on the Famicom Disc system logo...) competition.
The more astute might notice that in 1986 the Crystal screen version of Super Mario Brothers was released and it wouldn't be until 1988 when the normal widescreen version would be released. ^_^
