Seems rare-ish, very skeptical about $3 million rare but I guess the selling point is more about that particular cartridge being distributed with the Nintendo sticker seal vs the plastic shrinkwrap most cartridges had later on?
You got me thinking about that, you're probably talking about what Nintendo called the Action Set bundle, or the Power Set after that, when they were including those dual/triple game paks.
My own was the earlier bundle, what Nintendo called the Deluxe Set, that one came with two separate games (Duck Hunt and Gyromite). We had to buy SMB separately.. definitely don't remember if it had a sticker vs shrinkwrap.
Wikipedia mentions the different NES bundles back then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System#Bundles_and_redesigns
