Found an old site with a bunch of not-for-resale Famicom games listed, no idea if they've been secured already: http://beraboman.fc2web.com/hibaihin.htm

I think the unique games have, only some of the variations of commonly available games are dumped. Gradius Archimendes, All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. I've read the Exed Exes is literally just a sticker sent to high score winners so they could place it over the original label, so that's really just a normal retail copy as far as we should be concerned. It is known that one Rockman 4 Gold Cartridge is owned by a game shop (seen in Game Center CX) keeping it as a display piece and they won't sell it even if someone offered to pay their crazy listed price (like $6,000). STUDY BOX is the other crazy rare educational software package that I don't think is dumped, and may even only have one low-quality video showing it off, if it is what I'm thinking of.
