An unopened copy of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros., purchased in 1986 and then forgotten in a desktop file, was sold at auction for $ 660,000.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas said the video game sold out Friday.

The auction house said the video game was purchased as a Christmas present, but was eventually placed in a desk drawer, where it was sealed in plastic and left intact with its hanging leaf until it was found earlier this year.
“Because the production window for this and other similar specimens was so short, finding another specimen from the same production in a similar state would be similar to searching for a few drops of water in an ocean,” said Valarie McLeckie, Heritage specialist for video games, said.

Heritage said it is the best specimen known to have been professionally classified for the auction. Its sale price far exceeded the $ 114,000 that another unopened copy, made in 1987, fetched at a Heritage auction last year.
