Tengen NES Era Catalogue

I just got this in a big lot. It's a Tengen catalogue advertising all the Tengen games for NES. 18 games are advertised for NES. It also has smaller sections devoted to Genesis (2 games), Turbografx 16 (1 game), and Home Computers (6 games). The majority of the catalogue is devoted to NES. It looks like these were mailed to people's houses, because it has the "BULK RATE US POSTAGE PAID" mark, and Tengen's return address, but there is no address listed that it was mailed to. I have never seen one of these before.

LMK what you think it's worth. Also PM me if you want to buy it.

PS I already tried calling the phone number but I just get a busy signal. :/

    Brand new games for $25 or less, boy does inflation suck.

    I was wondering the same thing, Nick, but I've got 7 of them and I think they may have come with certain games. I'm not 100% sure about that, but none of mine have an address on them.

    Well I guess if the postage is paid the buyer wont have to pay shipping, just write his address and drop it in the mail. image

    Well I guess it's not that rare then if Dain has 7 of them and other people have seen it. In that case I'll just keep it, unless anybody wants it.

    I'm pretty sure it worked like this:  You pay bulk postage for x number catalogs.  Even though many would be hand-outs, or inserts it was cheaper for TENGEN to just bulk rate them all, rather than run two serperate printings for every new catalog.  This way you pickup the '89 catalog at toys r us or get it with a game, and order something, then they mail you every new catalog they release as they update their game selection.
