Sealed NES Find "in the wild"

I recently found a sealed
Where In Time Is Carmen San Diego
NES game with the large, heavy box and the Desk Encyclopedia inside at a swap meet for $3. It is by far the most amazing NES find that I have come across while "Out and About". I'm not sure of the rarity or value of it but to just find this laying down on a blanket amongst some old PC games was a site I won't soon forget. You know that feeling when your heart almost drops but you want to keep your composure so they don't raise the price. I love to find things like this!
Just wondering if anyone else has found a factory sealed NES game "in the wild" (swap meet, garage sale, etc).
Oh, I guess the next best NES find was my top loader at a garage sale. They were asking $25 and there were a couple people around so I don't try to barter....I just handed it over. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the dog bones but I soon found out that the Nintendo.com store still sells them so now I have two.

I have, kinda, about 5 doizen, but it was at an auction, and I paid V.A.T (sales tax) which means it was probably surplus stock from a store

I have several factory sealed nes games , but most of them were purchased from other games. One of my best "in the wild" finds ever was a Starfox Super Weekend cart that I found at a local EB Games for 12.99.
I have found tons of other rarities and sought after stuff in the wild as well

I've never found any sealed NES games in the wild. I have found a few for other systems though. nothing rare that I recall. Seeing sealed games on ebay doesn't surprise me, finding a sealed Defender for the 2600 at a Salvation Army did. Not that's worth anything, just the fact that someone kept it that long unopened then just dumped it at a thrift.

I just thought to look on ebay to see if someone had this game complete...I was wondering what was exactly in my sealed box and what was making it so heavy.  This explains it:

I found a sealed Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy in the wild. The rarest wild sealded game was Dice Puzzle for the 2600.

My thrift store visits have yielded a few sealed games, mostly common 2600 and INTV games (and I seem to remember an SNES game once). I did find a couple of sealed Arcadia 2001games once and a sealed set of NES controllers for $1 each. Some of my best thrift store finds were my NES Top Loader w/15 games for $20, the Coleco KidVid recorder for the 2600 for $3 and the Arcadia/StarPath SuperCharger for the 2600 boxed with an additional boxed game for $5. I just love finding thing like that just sitting on the shelf next to stuff like a broken VCR or a coffee maker with no pot. The funny thing is they usually price the broken VCR higher then the stuff I want!!

Hooray! I've actually found something that Den hasn't! Too bad the sealed NES games I bought a few months ago were pretty common -
Dash Galaxy in Alien Asylum
and
Top Gun: The Second Mission
.
About Carmen SanDiego - When I was a kid and didn't feel like playing Where's Waldo?, I would actually pull out Where in Time is Carmen SanDiego and use the encyclopedia to play on Saturday afternoons once cartoons were over. Sad, but true.
