You can own this rare 1987 version of The Legend of Zelda for $110,000 (and rising)

A sealed, rare variant of Nintendo's 1987 classic The Legend of Zelda is currently for sale via auction. At the time of writing, with five days left to go on the auction, the lot has a current bid of $110,000 (£72,300).

This lot, called a "NES R" variant, is particularly significant because this version was "only produced for a few months in late 1987". Rev-A replaced it in early 1988.

The only version considered more valuable than this one is a "NES TM", and there's reportedly only one sealed copy in existence "and there is no telling whether or not that copy will ever come to market". Therefore, this cartridge is likely "the earliest sealed copy one could realistically hope to obtain" and sits at a grading - or wata rating - of 9.
