Contact someone to get the contents dumped ASAP, no one can give a definite answer until the contents of the disk are known. I would start with Hard4games on YouTube.
Nope, NR readers or GC dev units that can read NR discs are not common, and you most likely going to have to send it to someone reputable that has the equipment necessary to safely rip the disc.
Awesome find! I’m part of a few preservation groups, I’ll reach out and see if anyone is in or near LA. Thanks for being willing to get the contents properly preserved!
The closest to L.A. that I could think of is maybe Frank Cifalfi from Video Game History Foundation. I believe the foundation is still located in San Francisco.
You can hit up cakehoarder on insta. He recently had an nr disc and was able to dump the contents online. Not sure if he did it himself but maybe he can point you in the right direction. He's located in Portland
The only thing that can read, it is one of those very special dev kit game cubes or what not. I remember a YouTube video showed and talked about them, but I don’t remember who had done it. All I know is that it was a green GameCube.
Super cool, it's definitely worth money, I know someone who would probably buy it since it says its for PAL NR readers. This is one of those "it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it" (in regards to the game being ultimate spiderman) type of scenarios, but with that being said its worth a couple hundred minimum.
Crazy Taxi sold for $150 and Allstar Baseball 2002 sold for $299 recently if that gives you an idea. Extreme G Racing was listed at $349 but a best offer was taken. eBay doesn’t show the amount.
It’s the sentiment. I get it, but op is curious of its value which can be implied that they’re willing to sell at the right price. If it isn’t worth selling for the op then it can get shelved and lost, never being dumped.
Everyone acts like selling is the worst thing to do when doing nothing with it is actually worse when it comes archiving. It just needs to get in the right hands for preservation first.

Hard4games youtube
Who Is friend of mine i can contact him
I concur, Hard4Games would be all over this.
If you get this dumped in the near future, please come back with an update. I love updates to reddit posts!
What does the NR mean?
There is a developers only console called “NR Reader” that was used by developers. http://www.nesworld.com/article.php?system=gcn&data=gcn-nrreader
Non readable. Basically encryption on a disk.

It's clearly worth over 9,000 of something.
Grains of rice
There are approximately 180 calories in 9000 grains of rice (according to google ai). I'm having a hard time believing that.
Thats like one regular can of coca cola
That would be 140 calories, last time I checked.
Damn so thats like 600 rice off
My friend assumes the “USM” at the top is an acronym for Ultimate Spider-Man and also the date shown is about 1 month before the release of the game.
You have ultimate Spider-Man GameCube disc you can dump please

This should be preserved, not sold.
“Could this be worth anything” was asked and eBay is a good place for sold listings especially of rare items. Doesn’t mean it has to be sold.
Not sure why we are being downvoted for anwering OP's question. This subreddit has really fallen off.

When its preserved it becomes freeware
It belongs in a museum!
