Why This One’s Different
Little Samson isn't expensive because collectors decided it's cool — Taito printed a small final run late in the NES's life, right as the market was shifting to 16-bit, so genuine surviving copies are rare by production numbers alone. It's also one of the more commonly reproduced (repro) NES carts, so a PCB and seal check matters more here than on most titles this price.
NES Condition Notes
Loose NES carts often show yellowed or sun-faded end labels, and pin-connector corrosion is common on carts that sat in damp storage — worth a contact clean and a boot test before assuming a cart's dead. CIB copies most commonly show corner-wear or crushing on the box's bottom corners, the weakest point in NES box construction.
