CIB Duck Hunt NON HANGTAB ~ 5 Screw

I have a nice CIB Duck Hunt that does not have a hangtab. Cart is 5 screw.



I looked at every sold listing on ebay and every current listing and couldn't find another one. Is non-hangtab rarer? And what is the approximate value.



Thanks!

    Theres a sold listing for 51USD, very nice CB, auction. It's a non rev-A, non HT box. I would say non HT is rarer, but you won't sell it for more than a HT in similar condition.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this just be a mismatched cart and box? 5 screw should imply hangtab and 3 screw should be non-hangtab, at least as far as I know.

    Proving Nintendo shipped out 5 screws in non-hang tab would be tough at this point, unless someone can tell me different. Did it happen? Would it be rare or even more valuable? So many questions. :-)

    The problem with any such case is that once such a game is found, it has to be documented and verified that it came out of a sealed game and was discovered as a 5-screw.  But, since you opened the game, it's no longer sealed and is a CIB.  Since CIBs are often pieced together, it now holds no value.



    However, that would verify that some non-hang-tab could have 5-screw games in them.  So long as there are no special markings on the box to verify that a 5 screw is in a box, the state of the game is just a mystery.  Ergo, there is no value-bump, nor can their be, because you have to open the game to prove it.  It becomes an unescapable catch-22.

    Interesting. I always thought 5 screw existed in non Rev-A as well as HT. My rationale being the 1987(?) non Rev-A non HT box games such as Jaws or Rambo.

    5 screw in non rev a too, at least sometimes. I don't think the carts and boxes were always changed at exactly the same time

    Yes, 5 screw is normal through No Rev-A/No Hangtab boxes. Like Dan said though, Nintendo didn't keep it simple and used leftover stock here and there. If it was an Oval Seal box with a 5 screw for instance, that would be grounds for a non-factory mismatch. 5 screw in a No Hangtab/No Rev-A box is normal as it was only around a 3 1/2 month production span.



    5 screw carts= Oct 1985-Dec 1987

    Hangtab boxes= Oct 1985-mid Sept 1987

    No Hangtab/No Rev-A boxes= mid Sept-Dec 1987
