For the last year we've had Nintendo World Championship Gold in our database but it has never shown up on the website because there were no recorded sales that we knew of. I have since verified two sales for the NWC Gold cartridge in private transactions. They didn't sell on ebay, but between two collectors directly.
We added these prices to our database for users to see and track because Nintendo World Championship Gray cartridge is the most popular game on VGPC. I'm sure people want to know the prices for the much more expensive and coveted gold cartridge too.

Be careful of buying a Nintendo World Championships Golds because one can be easily faked. There are two flaws making this possible.
First, the are not numbered and the carts cannot be told apart from another. This makes it very difficult to prove the original owner and its ownership history.
Second, the only mark on the cart is printed on cheap non-glossed sticker paper with a 360 dpi Xerox printer. Worse yet, the sticker isn't machine cut, nor shaped by exacto knife. It is cut with original scissors by hand. Then sloppily slapped on.
If you have no soul, you can mint your own. You will also walk in the very same steps Nintendo did.
1) Get a gray cart(stay with me here) and remove the circuit board. They are 100% identical.
2) Take a Zelda cart and remove the inside and wash off the sticker. Cut a small sqaure in the upper left hand corner in the same position as the gray. Smooth it out.
3)Place the gray board in the gold and put in the screws. Since the corner is gone and the right size, the dip switch will face out nicely.
4) Scan the Nintendo World Championships logo in and match to size of any gold cart you've seen in Photoshop. Print in 360 dpi on ordinary non-gloseed sticker paper. Best if you have a color inkjets could do the trick.
5) Cut with plain scissors and place by on the front as a gold would.
BAM! You have yourself a gold.
Once again, DO NOT DO THIS. THIS IS FRAUD. This is to prove the golds are not a wise investment.
Why would Nintendo make it so easy. The golds were a promotion and an afterthought and they used what they had at the time, the official grays.
Be safe and be careful what you buy. You might be purchasing a gray in disguise...
--What am I saying, the Golds are the grays in disguise.
