Looking for a chance to own one of the rarest video game collectibles of all time? Got $12,000 to spare? Then head on over to this auction on eBay and hit “Buy it Now!” to grab this extraordinarily rare 1990 Nintendo World Championship NES cartridge.

Nintendo World Championships 1990 Cartridge

The cart is one of only 116 ever produced and given only to participants in the gaming competition. Of these, 90 of them were the grey edition (the one that’s in this auction). The other 26 “gold” edition cartridges, are even rarer than this one (one recently sold for over $20,000).

Still, the one on the auction block is worth at least several thousand dollars, and ranked as the third rarest video game of all time.
