At least he can rest easy knowing his wife's killer is finally dead.

Are these for sale by any chance? I'm really interested in them as a lot deal. The NFR's are believed to be copies that Nintendo of America employees can purchase from the Nintendo employee store. They're usually stuff that comes off the factory line as "scratch and dent" stuff, meaning they weren't perfect samples, or just didn't pass QC 100% but met a certain threshold that was still good enough to sell at a discount to employees. They're cool variants, and I think only first party games and accessories came with them.

Upgraded the bounties! From now on, any new copies are worth $200, new photos of existing copies (ungraded only) are worth $20, and photos of my non-blue listed carts are worth $100.

NEW COPY UNCOVERED. Welcome to the collectors market #0176

Ad hominem. He brings up valid points.

Not mine, but they were posted publicly years ago. I figure it's fair game to post them around.

https://www.ebay.com/usr/nostalgic80 Nice stuff! I think that specific 5-Screw R.C. Pro-Am was the first one ever discovered back in the NA days. Here's a pre-grading photo I have of it.

Frogger?

Thanks, I'll revisit the screw variants and likely end up updating it to a R9. Also, something no one pointed out is why I bothered adding Anticipation, Donkey Kong Classics, Ice Hockey, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Team Games, and Zelda II to the "Does Not Exist?" category. Those are in there because other 1988 first party titles have been found to have documented 5-Screw variants (R.C. Pro-Am, SMB/DH/WCTM, and the rumored SMB/DH)

This is officially the third 5 screw SMB/DH/WCTM I’ve seen. I NEED one of these in my life so hard.

Pretty sure Rollerblade Racer has the same crappy foam.

@Code Monkey I agree, but to a degree. Extreme errors should be their own little neat category, and well...it *is* the "Rare Variant & Error" thread. Variant guys like me just ignore errors...but there's merit in tracking errors, because if enough of that exact error pop up then it's a legitimate variant (see Atari people with upside down labels, or even Kid Niki SoQ splotch error)

I can confirm that my copy also has this harder, more "crap quality" foam? I mean, it's styrofoam at the end of the day, but something about it just feels of lesser quality.

Dang, I knew I forgot something! Yes...jaws is pretty darn rare. We're also going though a glut of Super Pitfall's for some reason. Maybe it's time to demote it to R7 status (basically ignorable status) Edit: There. I fixed it.

It's a gem rarity of a gem rarity. In my opinion, If 3 Screw Stadium Events is a 5 Carat FL/IF D Quality Diamond, then the 5-screw is a 5 Carat FL/IF D Quality Canary or Pink diamond Edit: Basically, it's not about relativistic rarity anyway. Overall, 5-Screw Stadium Events is just as available as 3-Screw DK Math...less than a handful exist.
