Rick Harrison’s starring Pawn Stars is widely popular for showcasing the selling, purchase, and evaluation of interesting artifacts. And recently, Rick came across sellers asking for a whopping million dollars for a first edition Super Mario Bros sticker sealed copy. It’s true, the term “sticker sealed” means it’s the title’s never opened copy. Moreover, spending millions of dollars for a 1900s game might sound crazy, but it’s not for real passionate collectors.

In fact, mentioned as a high grade by the sellers, it also has a Nintendo sticker. And what really makes it so special is it belongs to the test market launch of the NES console, according to the sellers. Considering it all, the title indeed seems valuable, but it fails to impress Rick. In fact, Rick also mentioned he’s really not into video games. Moreover, Rick backed off and expressed he won’t be getting into it, considering its hefty price.
