I'm going to be honest gentlemen. I am not in the mood to dig out in a cold arse shed for the rest of the boxes so I grabbed the one that is close (in the garage!) and made a mini-fort. We'll build a traditional fort once spring rolls around. Oh, and to answer the OP and confirm all these non-rare comments. Unfortunately, I have a ton of that particular Mario Bros. just in this box. I also lied, I have a couple Duck Hunts mixed in... and there is a small sampling of different cases at the bottom. [You can zoom in at the actual site if you'd like].

That's not 350-ish copies

Color me impressed.

I thought about it but a lot of them are really grimy and need a good cleaning. I am trying to dig up something for the charity. If I can't, I'll just try to bid high on something. At least support it in some way.

@Ninja
How did you even get that many Mario/Duck Hunt games?

Well, it's pretty lame of a story but back in 98 or 99 Funcoland use to have them at the local store for literally .05 to .09 cents. They'd get about 10 sent to them. When I would go in for my weekly visit, I'd buy them up as a joke (I knew all the guys there anyway). The next week they would get a new shipment sent in, so I'd buy it again.
Pretty lame story, huh? Yeah...

That is awesome.
I'll take all those copies for the '98-'99 rate! I want NES carts as wallpaper on my retro wall it'd be just plain cool.
