Resolved title: The Legend of Zelda (NES) Gold Cartridge CIB with Map, REV-A unknown ยท minor_difference

  • variant medium
    text: REV-A Oval Seal (from listing title)
    image/code: Cartridge back label clearly shows REV-A; seal shape on box not conclusively verified from provided images
    use: REV-A (seal shape NA) (image)

Pricing: Use as bundle pricing evidence for a specific physical completeness set (box + REV-A cart + manual + map + dust sleeve/packing foam). PriceCharting CIB baseline often models game/box/manual only; this listing includes the map and additional packaging pieces, so the $215 may reflect a completeness premium beyond strict (game+box+manual) comps. Suitable for learning premiums for including the map and original sleeve/packing.

Unknown candidates

  • NES Zelda packaging foam insert (rectangular block) variant low
    Foam packing block style/size may vary by production run; not enough evidence to match to a known standardized insert type for this specific release.
    White rectangular foam block included with set
  • Nintendo black dust sleeve (red Nintendo print) pack-in for Zelda low
    Dust sleeves can be generic NES packaging pieces; need confirmation whether this specific sleeve print/style is correct for this Zelda box/print run.
    Black sleeve with red "Nintendo"

Human review questions

  • Confirm whether the box seal is oval or round (title claims oval) from the full-resolution images.
  • Confirm whether any additional loose inserts (warranty/registration cards) are present beyond what is shown (manual pages vs separate inserts).
  • Verify whether the black Nintendo sleeve and foam block are correct/original for this Zelda packaging run or are generic replacements.

Warnings

  • Not all 15 images were available at full resolution here; some insert/variant details may be missed.
  • Map and manual do not show readable print codes in the provided views.
