No to your first question.  Even for a factory-sealed gold Zelda that was minty, it wouldn't likely get any more than $400-$500 or so.

Yes, however, to your second question:  there was a short transition period (probably 6 months to a year, likely the end of 1987 and early 1988) during which flat-head screws were used on 3-screw games. 

sorry, thats just the jackass reseller in me...

Well, you gotta check with rarebucky or any other knowledgeable sealed guy about this one...

That's awesome!

average sealed would be $400-$600 yes

wait, so the guys know they're being duped, but are playing along? why post in the first place? and what's with the 3 consecutive posts in on thread?

Let's all whip out our purple ganons and post a pic!

Well....the record public sale of the game is $2000 for a VGA 90 gold seal version. There was also a recent, comparable private sale.

I Am not going to scam anyone.
It just seem weird that my zelda cart as 3 screws and the screws are Flathead.
Could someone tell me what the 20 and the A means.
Thanks,
Sean

I was honest when I suck at zelda 1.
If, Someone would beat the game for me and it really did have purple Gannon.
I would want that person to take a picture of him to prove that he is real.

It means you have the rare purple ganon cart of course! These are a rare find as you already know, but ones with the 20 and the A are worth double the amount of just a normal purple ganon cart!

Can I just get a real answer!!!!!!!!!!
I think we all know what a purple gannon is by now.
If anything I would say i got a early 3 screw cart of the game.

Holy shit. I just saw this thread. I can't wait for your pics of the end. I'm waiting with baited breath!!! You need to put this up for auction.

Ok, here is a real answer. A while back, a thread about a scamming ebay seller got crazy about showing pictures of penis and rare versions of Zelda. The truth is, this game is hardly worth more than $20.

As for variants and your copy with 3 screws and flat head screws, not worth much that I know of. Interesting, but not rare. Also, someone could just take flat head screws out of a gumshoe cart and stuff them into your Zelda. So it defeats purpose.

This thread did make a few of us laugh (including me) at your expense. But thanks for being a good sport and catching on before we got to out of control again

If you search "Zelda Appraised" you'll probably find the thread that started this whole thing. It's a funny read.

Purple Ganon is a sex move. Google it, yo.

.

lmao this is still funny!!!!!

You said your 19 so I could take a picture of your Purple ganon... I guess....

The 3 flathead screw version isn't "rare" either. Is your Nintendo seal of quality the circle without the white background (http://www.nintendoage.com/index....)? My version of that Zelda had the 3 flathead screws (can't take pics because I sold it to someone already).

And Purple Ganon exists! You just have to beat the game named after the designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. I heard that using his last name also gives you a slight chance of finding the elusive quadforce.

wow $2000, I thought I remember one going for $1000, thus me starting the whole idea...lol...I figured if someone had a vga95 gold, it would go for ungodly amounts
