Benhoffer | 1 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) I saw this Duck Hunt CIB pop up on eBay yesterday which had a hangtab box with 2 "codes" on the back ("NES-GP" on the bottom-right, and "NES P DH" on the upper left). Which according to the WATA guide makes this an early 1987 release. However, this box also has a gloss sticker which supposedly means it is an early 1986. There is a rare example of a 1-code gloss Balloon Fight and 1-code gloss Gumshoe, but I didn't think 2-code gloss sticker boxes existed. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Did someone buy a 2-code Duck Hunt, return it, and they put a sticker on the box for some reason? I'm not the buyer or seller of this item, I'm just trying to educate myself on all these black box variants and the history of them. Thanks!!

ThePhleo | 2,273 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 It's totally new to me to be honest. Kinda wild that it exist. I can only explain it as probably being a Deluxe Set pack-in that a warehouse guy decided to put a sticker seal on, after finding a roll of them...and that's a farfetched theory pulled straight out of my a....brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,148 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Almost every black box game has been discovered now in a weird 2 code, sticker seal configuration. I've seen some other examples and I think Wata noted 2 known examples on their black box list but more have been found since then. Very uncommon but known to exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
