Unknown candidates

  • Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES, US) Rev-A packaging/manual print pairing medium
    Listing shows explicit Rev-A marking on the box front and a visible manual code; not enough evidence (e.g., UPC/back panel/other print codes) to confidently map to a known cataloged packaging variant.
    Box front: REV-A | Manual front: NES-MW-USA (partially readable)

Human review questions

  • Confirm whether any cartridge is present in any unseen photos (none visible in provided images).
  • Read box back UPC/barcode and side/end flap codes if present to identify the exact packaging variant.
  • Confirm the manual code text (NES-MW-USA) and any revision/print codes inside/back cover.

Warnings

  • Only two seller photos provided; no views of box back, flaps, or UPC/barcode.
  • PriceCharting enrichment incorrectly classifies this sale as CIB/includesGame; do not treat as CIB pricing.
  • Insert titles/codes are not fully legible; treated generically as Nintendo Power promo inserts.
