Added to this, the game rates 9.6 on the WATA scale - which is used to rank comic book value. Speaking to IGN, Chris Kohler, editorial director at Digital Eclipse, said, "For Nintendo, it was just stuff they had to do internally, but collectors are using this information now. It’s not like a collector cares if there’s a “™” on their box or not, but it’s the ability to use that information to figure out what the earliest printings are". Ironically, it was Heritage that sold the Super Mario 3 record-breaker in 2020. That certainly doesn't leave much time at all for this variant to be produced in-between the two!" It's worth mentioning that Nintendo managed to add the trademark symbol to the Nintendo Entertainment System on their game boxes by the beginning of 1987. Just to paint a better picture of how short this really was - the nationwide release for the console came in mid to late 1986, and black box games distributed for that release did not have the 'Game Pak NES-GP' code. The description explains why this one should be worth the money: "This is only the fourth version of Super Mario Bros. ever produced, and its window of production was remarkably short. According to Heritage Auctions, a sealed "black box" version of Super Mario Bros. just sold for an eye-watering $660K/£477K.
