THE STORY 

Auctioneers specialize in rummaging through barns, closets, attics, drawers, basements, and anywhere else overlooked treasures may hide.  Thanks to our buyers and sellers we get to do this almost every day. 

Earlier this year we found a box of video games in the back of a crowded walk-in closet in Floyds Knobs, IN. 

At first glance, it was a comforting wave of classic Nintendo nostalgia. All the classics were there, Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Qix, and even an NES console. So we did what any children of the 1990s would do: we fired up the console and tested the open games. It was a great day! 

At a second glance, it was something else entirely. The seemingly ordinary collection included an extraordinary unopened copy of Super Mario Bros. 2. In May of 2021, the game received a 9.8 A+ rating from Wata Games in Denver, Colorado. 

In Super Mario Bros. 2 our heroes navigate multi-level worlds to free the land of Subcon from evil villains. Now a new hero has an opportunity to emerge as this remarkable game hits the auction marketplace for the first time.
