Okay, who in here has sticker sealed Black Boxes???
Okay guys, this one is a tough call. I'm not sure that I'm going to receive much info through this forum, but it could at least make a good starting point.
I would like to know if any big collectors around have sealed copies of the original 18 launch titles with the black nintendo sticker at top. We're talking about U.S releases only here, so no need to verify canadian versions. I don't want to purchase them, just want to gather some information about them.
Also, it happens that the said copies I'm interested in could have both plastic seal and round sticker on them, so please let me know if it's the case. I don't think that any game excepted Stack-Up could be sealed this way, but we never know.
To Braveheart the supreme CIB archivist : As a special request, I'd like to know which Black Boxes can be confirmed to have a sticker sealed version. probably all 18 launch titles, but I just want to make sure which ones you have at the moment.
From the top of my head, I can think of these sealed copies, please correct me if I'm wrong :
- A long time member here (identity anonymous for the moment) has a brand new Deluxe Set with both Duck Hunt and Gyromite that are sticker sealed. They're not shrinkwrapped
- Another member (can't remember who) has purchased a Sticker Sealed Duck Hunt a few months ago. If I remember correctly, it has a hole somewhere on front of the box. This one has no shrinkwrap as well.
- Blarky has a Sticker Sealed Duck Hunt that has no shrinkwrap.
- Bronty has a Gyromite and a Pinball that are both Sticker Sealed. Once again, no shrinkwrap on these.
- I do have a Sticker Sealed Ice Climber which is currently up on eBay for 25K. If anyone's interested please shoot me a PM
. (Oh! I forgot, no shrinkwrap.)
- Seth has a Stack-Up with both shrinkwrap and Nintendo sticker on it. In fact, there's a fairly good amount of these in existence. Just don't know how many or who own them.
- That's all for the moment!
As you can see, this list is way too short. If anyone has something to add to this list, that would be greatly appreciated. As a reference, here's a list of 18 launch titles I'm talking about :
10-Yard Fight
Baseball
Clu Clu Land
Donkey Kong Jr. Math
Duck Hunt
Excitebike
Golf
Gyromite
Hogan's Alley
Ice Climber
Kung Fu
Mach Rider
Pinball
Stack-Up
Super Mario Bros.
Tennis
Wild Gunman
Wrecking Crew
Thanks to everyone involved in this. I really hope this thread won't die in a day or two....

This game actually came sticker sealed with the FFF Pad. It is probably the only exception in the U.S library. Everything else apart from the 18 launch titles can't be found Sticker Sealed.
EDIT : Okay I knew I was wrong at some point. Braveheart has just confirmed some later releases with a sticker sealed version.
And yeah, I knew that there's several of these dual sealed Stack-Ups. Just don't know who has them.
I have all of these sticker sealed:
10-Yard Fight
Balloon Fight
Baseball
Clu Clu Land
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong 3
Donkey Kong Jr (2 different) one with "NES-GP" on back bottom and one without
Donkey Kong Jr Math
Duck Hunt
Excitebike
Golf
Gumshoe
Gyromite
Hogan's Alley
Ice Climber
Kung Fu
Mach Rider
Mario Bros
Pinball
Popeye
Soccer
Stack-Up
Super Mario Bros
Tennis
Urban Champion
Wild Gunman
Wrecking Crew
The only 3 I don't have with sticker seals are:
Pro Wrestling
Slalom
Volleyball
I can't find any evidence SO FAR of a hang tab box without a back code on the top left corner. No sticker sealed boxes have the code. I'd be a definite buyer if anyone has one of those 3.
I have 5 different CIB's for Pro Wrestling none with sticker seal.
I have 5 different CIB's for Slalom none with sticker seal.
I have 3 different CIB's for VOlleyball none with sticker seal.
Here are some pictures of some sticker sealed games I just found.
And I sold a shrinkwrapped Duck Hunt a couple months ago, non-hangtab, revA, circular seal (second printing, or thereabouts). It didn't have a sticker seal. Maybe if it were a hangtab version, there's a chance it would have had one?
HUH... that's not what I meant at all Bronty, lol. What I was saying that in order for the box to even have the POSIBILITY of having a sticker seal it CAN NOT have a back code. I have all of them but those 3 with hang tab and no back code.
that's what I was saying, maybe I wasn't too clear
As posted in the other thread, and as G mentions I have a sticker sealed DH, hangtab, non-revA, circular seal (first print):

Thanks a bunch for the useful info Blarky.
It looks like your shrinkwrapped Duck Hunt comes from the first Non-Hangtab generation, which is fourth generation if I'm not mistaken. And yes, it seems that only Hangtab versions might have a Nintendo sticker at top. We're progressing slowly...
I'd be temped in saying that only first party games printed somewhere between 1985-1986 have chances to be sticker sealed.
