What drives the price

Several factors influence the market value of Tennis [5 Screw]. The condition of the cartridge is a primary driver; listings range from Good to Very Good, impacting the asking price. Completeness is also key, as is the specific variant, such as the 5-screw construction, which is often associated with first releases [5]. While 5-screw shells are noted on some early NES games, the presence of this specific construction contributes to collector interest [3, 4].

Buying and selling it

When looking to buy or sell, be aware of the gap between the current asking median and the established sold value. If you are looking for a guaranteed sale price based on recent transactions, comparing current asks against sold comps is wise.
