Pricing: Use as pricing evidence for a standard US complete-in-case copy (cartridge + case/cover art + standard 3DS manual-viewing insert). Note that this appears to include an insert rather than a full printed game manual, which is typical for many late-era 3DS releases; treat as CIB only if your completeness definition accepts this insert as the 'manual' equivalent.
