Stadium Events facts from Wiki:
Rarity
The North American, or NTSC, version of Stadium Events is universally accepted as the rarest licensed NES game available for purchase in North America.[2][3] It was recently named #6 on a list of 20 "Holy Grails of Console Gaming",[4] a list that covered all gaming systems in all countries. The reason for its rarity and subsequent high market price[2][5] is due to its limited production and sales.[6] At the time of its launch during the holiday season of 1987, Stadium Events was only available in limited stores. In 1988, Nintendo purchased the North American rights to the FFF mat technology and re-released it as the Power Pad.
The two Family Fun Fitness-branded games that had already been released, as well as Bandai's version of the running pad accessory, were pulled from shelves and presumed destroyed. Because of this odd sequence of events, only 2000 copies are believed to have been produced, of which it is estimated that 200 copies reached consumers before being recalled.[6] Today, collectors who follow the online sale of rare video games believe that fewer than 20 complete copies of the game exist, only two of which are known to be factory sealed.[citation needed] An eBay auction of a new, factory-sealed version of the game was sold on February 26, 2010 with a winning bid of $41,300, making this the highest price ever paid for a video game,[7] but the winning bidder never paid for the auction won. However, on January 22nd, 2011, another factory-sealed version of the game sold on eBay. The transaction was completed, and both parties exchanged positive feedback. The copy sold for $22,800.00, the highest confirmed price paid for this game.
