For those that are unaware - this was a clever scam where the owners of the video game rating agency decided that they were going to rate video games like rating notes - they put an "authenticated" video game up at auction, and bid WAAAAAAAY more than anyone else, to create a hype and a market. They used Pawn Stars as pawns, as a form of reputation laundering. It's a classic hustle, and the sellers were hedging. I think they're curranty under Federal investigation. Good times.

Just so you all know, the guy bringing in the graded Super Mario Bros never intended to sell it. $1 million dollars is a number he pulled out of his behind, in fact he works for the grading company Wata, who a few years ago were involved in a massive graded games scandal and conspiracy. Bringing in this game to Pawn Stars was nothing but to get attention to Wata and their grading service. In reality sealed games are NOWHERE near as valuable as a lot of people will say.

The fact Pawn Stars didn't know the seller was the co-founder of the company they called to give context means that ither they don't do their homework or they were in the know and getting something out of it.
The worst thing is not only have they never apologized for the stunt, they are still advertising it in vids like this.
