That nintendo sign would look great atop my sharp nes television. Could we have some history on the sign? Did you order it through Nintendo Power or was it displayed as a promotional piece at a gamestore?
I actually bought both items from the same local game shop 7+ years ago. (Video Game Castle in Chicopee, Ma)
I wouldn't be too surprised if someone here had actually bought something from there or had ended up with a game that had their sticker on it... I have seen stuff that has gone through their store for sale in several states
When i was younger and spent all my money in their store, outside of gas money and my car payment(i miss having no responsibilities!), i was able to talk them into letting me check out their back stock or get them to give me prices on random things in the store that had been collecting dust.
I have had a good experience thus far with these auctions so i might see what other kind of Nintendo goodies i can dig up that will hopefully spark interest in the community

I figured i would respond to Nintegrity here incase anyone else has the same questions.
I don't remember what i paid for the sign or rack. They may have been one of the freebie items i got during a large purchase. If they did cost me anything it would have been 20$ or less.
The Nintendo Power rack is from 1990 (the same date as the attatched NP issue)
The We Have Nintendo Sign i believe to be NES era as well but unfortunately i can't really find anything to substantiate that claim.
The only thing i have been able to find where these: (sorry if it is uncool to link to other auctions.

Which to an ended ebay auction
http://www.videogameauctions.com/gamestop-nintendo-poker-setcastlevania-limited-posterertl-super-mario-bank/)
and this
Claims it is from 1980s. Same sign but either has no base stand or it was broken off
http://forsale.oodle.com/view/1980s-nintendo-store-sign/2996348748-philadelphia-pa/
Both of which presumabley had the base stand broken off.
If anyone can definitely confirm it is an NES era sign that would be cool.
I always assumed so because it seemed like during SNES era Nintendo promo stuff always had SUPER slapped on it.
Thanks for the questions just wish i could turn up a bit more for answers than ancient auction listings :-/

I will ship both items anywhere so long as the winning bid remembers to send USD
International i will not cover tracking and your shipping cost will (most likely) be significantly higher.
I shipped out 4 packs of Eye of Judgment cards for PS3 to England last week and it was about 6.50 USD for a 5 ounce package
HUGE thanks to all those who have bid thus far!
Thanks so much guys!
