A couple of these have surfaced over the years and the Swedish distributor, Bergsala, is located not far from the store we're talking about. Bergsala got a lot of protos (or rather review copies) back then, and they still do. I have been in the room where they test out games that have not yet been released. A former employee once told me that when he started working there in the 90's they had boxes of SNES-review carts thrown away. Maybe an employee grabbed a couple of carts and then several years later traded them in. I have found protos in the wild in that area so I am guessing it was not that uncommon that employees kept some of the games (even if they may not have been allowed to do so).
The store mentioned does however have a lot of other cool stuff. They bought off Bergsalas official Nintendo repair shop and now have a lot of NoS 1st party replacement parts for old consoles, for instance, NoS SNES-connectors, GB-displays etc. in factory boxes.
Hilmarf: It is a SNCC that I have Unfortuneately I don't own (or have ever owned) any NES competition cart.
NOS 72-pin connector pls
