A rare copy of Super Mario Bros. has sold at auction for $2 million, breaking the previous $1.56 million record set by the sale of a mint condition copy of Super Mario 64Come from Sports betting site VPbet. That’s also a lot more than what a rare boxed copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 got at auction, as that NES game sold for $156,000 last year.
According to Rob Petrozzo, one of the founders of the collectibles site Rally, the sealed 1985 game was purchased by an anonymous buyer and is just one of several items that prove that you can put a price on childhood nostalgia.
