I was only wondering, as I own one of these bad boys, if anyone else owns or has seen one of the rare SNES Donkey Kong Country Competition Cart out in the world?  I have only ever seen two from my one friend Joe.  He ended up selling his for $1,200 and then a couple months later found a person who was selling a completely different copy for $450 to pay his rent.  I nabbed it for the $450.  Based off of Ebay, it doesn't seem like it sells very well, but again, has anyone other than me actually seen one in real life?

Sources to catch up on if you don't know much about this game:

Haven't seen one ever.

I would not pay much for loose copy this game, because making genuine looking repro of this is way too easy. so authencity would be too hard to prove.

Who on earth would actually bother to make a repro of this? What kind of pathetic soul would actually buy a repro of this?

If I were to find it in the wild, I'd only buy it to resell it. The cart is pure 100 percent novelty, no way would I spend that kind of cash to add it to my collection.

Not many would buy one intentionally. Arseen was saying that he wouldn't buy a cart of this because it would be easy to sell a repro as a real cart.

I own a DKCCC as well. I got it for ~$340 when I was still aiming for a complete SNES collection.

The back label on mine, unfortunately, is a little torn.

I know what Arseen was saying.

Get yourself a game bit, and find a cheap game that has a good back label, and swap them. Problem solved.

On topic, I have heard about this. However, not willing to spend the amount they go for.

Honestly I wouldn't modify a DKCCC cart in any way. I'm certain it'd severely diminish its value.

If the back cover is torn and faded, its already lost soo much net worth that the easiest way to get $100-200 more off of it, would be to fix the back

It's not modding. It''s simply swapping out back parts of the cartridge for each game.
