Black boxes have several things going for them.

They form a small subset that many people collect some exclusively.
Due to the nature of the black box wear is very evident and decent shape boxes are hard to find so sealed is a big plus.
As the first NES games available most copies were sold and played.

Also sealed collecting for Nintendo is bigger than it is on other systems of its day. These being some of the hardest titles to find sealed you will see crazy prices. Supply and demand.
