Nintendo Display case
I actually jumped on here for first time in a while to PC this and I see a post below mine that may be for the same thing, but I don't see pictures on that post so I figured I'd just make a new one.
We just picked this bad boy up for the shop. I know we scored heavily on it, but I'm more curious of just it's general value as I know there are a couple different models. I haven't seen it in person yet, but from what I hear it's in pretty good shape.

Assuming everything I said is true I would value this below $1000. Being subjective and knowing this is not all original and the header/marquee being one of the most defining points of these old display cases. Thats just my $.02.
I am fairly certain the top portion is not all original. The header or marquee assembly section looks to be added and not original. The Nintendo logo font is not correct. Notice the drooping in the D in Nintendo at the bottom as well as what appears to be unevenness in the race track (may be the picture) around Nintendo plus no registered trademark R. I attached a picture of what I feel this case should look like as well as a zoom in of the Nintendo logo on yours and a font correct logo. I cannot tell for sure if the bottom display case is missing a door or not. I cannot also see the condition of the bottom case either. These were very prone to wear and water damage. The later models down the road used more robust metal construction. It also seems the base and top are not matched correctly. From the ones I have seen there is some overhang from the top part over the bases. The inside racking uprights (brass in color) seem to be added also to accomodate the chrome glass shelf holders. All things considered............

Sign Guy, not to highjack the thread here but you really need to post your gameroom. I'm super interested in looking at your collection

A few other things I’ve noticed as well:
shouldn't the bottom kickplate piece be all grey?
And I’m not an expert, but I’ve never seen one that didn’t say “world of”.
Isnt the marquee a solid piece of etched plexi? On OP’s it looks like a sticker.
