Darn it...guillavoie beat me to it :/ ...

Main ones to watch out for:

5-screw Alpha Mission
3-screw Donkey Kong
3-screw Donkey Kong Jr.
3-screw Gyromite
5-screw Mega Man
5-screw Star Force
5-screw Super Pitfall
3-screw Volleyball

Also, it should be noted that the 3-screw Soccer has some slight argument over its existence (Dain thinks it's out there, dangevin says it isn't, Erik hopes it is ()...I haven't seen one myself...I'd call that one unconfirmed for now).

excellent, thanks

and those are the only ones that are worthwhile?, or the only ones that were between the switch from 5 - 3?

Those 8 that I listed are the most difficult of the bunch. DK, DK Jr., Mega Man, and Star Force are where the real money is on that list (5-screw Mega Man and Star Force would probably bring $50-$70 each loose, and the other two around $40 each loose...may God help us all if someone turns up a hangtab box for Mega Man or Star Force ).

Let me be the first to say that I sincerely hope you can score a MM 5-screw for $50, Matt...

Also these rarity numbers were fine for the time they were published (very early into the NA community's awareness of these variants) and need some tweaking. But they're a fine guideline.

I just don't want anyone getting a 3-screw Donkey kong and thinking they have an R10 on their hands. Dain made it very clear in his article that these are RELATIVE RARITIES - describing that they're not anywhere near the rarities you see in the database. Since only a very small % of the community cares about these, the awareness is next to nil, whereas pretty much everyone who's ever googled "NES" knows that SE and NWC are the big baddies. More come to light and are properly marketed.

Eh...to be fair, I have no real frame of reference for a 5-screw Mega Man (which is why I just kinda said $50-$70).  The numbers given were meant to be estimates...

Pal is 100% completely different, also CAN games don't work with these numbers either.

Yeah, I knew I was forgetting something else .  Btw, until I made this post, we were at the same post count...

And yes, dangevin is right, this list is for US releases only.  Though I do wonder how the other regions would stack up (no pun intended).  I'd imagine 5-screw carts of most of the other regions (especially the PAL regions) would be significantly rarer, given their later release vs. the US releases...

If anyone is interested I just picked up a Non Hang-Tab Gyromite box for anyone that might have a 3 screw Naked Gyromite. I used to have the only 2 of these boxes known till I traded one to OCDSteeldor. Not sure how many IF ANY others have been found but PM me if interested. Seth... oh Seth...

Whats a non hang tab gyromite box go for?

Also could someone post a pic of the 5 screw mega man and 3 screw gyromite.  On the gyromite is there anything on the label that you can tell if its the 3 or 5?

There's been no proper recorded sales at open market - this game has no "book." Whatever the variant guys are willing to put up for it, and usually that happens privately. And i'm sure that would change depending on a lot of circumstances - who's in the market, condition, timing! I'm sure we're talking three digits though.

I keep seeing the same 3-screw Tennis cart and this is probably the place to ask, is it worth grabbing for $4?

I would do, it's the price listed in the e-zine, so if you still need it, I would grab it, if you don't make a profit, just keep it.

Tennis is borderline uncommon/common in either form. Most of the time it will show up in bulk lots. I got all of my variants for this game incidentally.
