Collector's Q&A
How much is Paper Mario worth?
PriceCharting-based USD reference ranges (date unverified) are ~$65–$80 loose and ~$240–$280 complete in box. Ranges add a rounded margin; actual sale prices vary. Shipping and tax are excluded.
Why does complete-in-box cost more?
Box and manual condition, completeness, and edition affect a CIB copy’s price. The difference between these references is not a guaranteed sale premium.
How do I spot a fake cartridge?
Compare the shell, label, screws, and PCB with documented authentic examples for the same region and board revision. Nintendo markings and security screws are useful clues, but replacement shells and legitimate repairs mean no single detail proves authenticity.
