Well Iv'e heard of Video games going in the thousands before but 20K? A Bit spendy if you ask most. So it appears that the 91 campus challenge cart appeared on Ebay as of recent. For those of you who don't know what the campus challenge was, in 1991 Nintendo drove a van around to 58 university campus's and held tournaments. Similar to the 1990 World champioships it consisted of 3 games: Super Mario Bros 3, Pin-Bot, and Dr. Mario.
The sad part is that they arent even the full games, but needless it appears the amount in existence has yet to be determined, Wikipedia has a page on it for more info.
The question has came to mind as of recent when these holy grails of gaming started appearing on the Net, who is to say these carts are authentic? The guy at retrozone is doing a damn good job at reproduction, Im certainly sure it could be easily cloned with no detection as so very few exist.. well $20 im not willing to chance anyways.
