allright, i know it's weird to go asking for something so dirt-cheap that you could buy enough carts to make a house from.
here's the deal: i'm working at gdc and may wind up on duty during miyamoto's keynote. if i get the chance, i plan to ask him for an autograph on a smb1 cart; it's the first game i played and to this day is still among my favorites. thing is, the only copy i had any sentimental attachment to was sold off years and years ago, and the only one i have now is a pretty ratty cart i just picked up for the sake of playing it.
i need one that's in mint condition or very close to it - i don't have the time to do any extensive searches in the local stores and i don't really trust random ebay sellers to understand why having no ripped labels or fading plastic is important here. so, fellow collectors, please help me out!
update: have some miscellaneous items that i have no use for and would trade away to get the job done here.
