Vintage 1986 Blue Mario Sexies!!!

Well, I've been anxiously waiting to post this, and everything finally came in!!! I paid probably around $50 for all of the items shipped, so it was an amazing haul, honestly. Here is a detailed description of what I know and what the items are:

1) 1986 Nintendo Fun Club Sweater. This sweater was only available through the nintendo fun club magazine. You had to be a recipient of the magazine, then cutout the piece of paper and send in the money to receive the sweater. There are many fun club members who have been skeptical whether or not these official clothing items were sold, but they indeed were as I now currently have one image A scan of the actual order page from the Nintendo Fun Club Volume 3 is shown below the finds photo. I paid roughly $15 shipped for this item.

2) 1986 Nintendo Fun Club Stickers. I dont know how this individual had 6 stickers, as they were promo items and very hard to come by, but he listed them very very poorly. I dont think he had an idea of what he had. I ended up picking all the stickers up for roughly $25 shipped. They will be for sale if anyone is interested image From what I understand, these were sent in a membership packet to join the fun club, and you would stick the sticker on the page and send it in. Im really unsure of this, but this is what I have been told. Any info on these would be great.

3) Lastly, a National Nintendo Headquarters Sears Catolog that dates to 1986/1987. This is actually a poster that folds out, and has various game screenshots and prices, as well as other merchandise and system prices. I picked this up for $15, and think i did pretty well due to the rarity of the Item. Blue mario items are very hard to find, as, they only kept this color scheme for a very very short time, then reversed the shirt and suspender colors to what we know him as. 

Overall, roughly everything was $50, and couldn't be happier. Enjoy, and here is a pic of everything together image

I will have another big find coming soon as well image Stay tuned

P.S. Thanks to NA user herbalist for finding the scan in the magazine back issues. I knew it was in there, but couldnt remember which one image

    Any chance you have dupes?  Not sure what they'd be worth, but those things are neat.  Even if they're partly used, that's cool, I'd love to have them regardless (and would probably be cheaper that way anyway).

    No dupes, and you would be surprised what these things have sold for in the past. It seems they NEVER go unnoticed, and if you score one for under $75, you got a steal, so lets put it that way, lol. Ive been actively searching for the last one I need, and its been over a year since one has been posted for sale (unless it was terribly listed).


  • I used to have one of those stickers. It was on my NES for years, then carefully scraped it off and backed it on something, wish I knew where it went as it was cool.
  • Is that Howard Phillips in those pics? The Nintendo Gamemaster? Kinda looks like him.

    Last batch I saw was from Sawtooth Homebum or whatever his name was. They went for a lot.

    Nice scores Alex.



  • Seems like a good idea to post this here. Recently my mom was going through some old clothes from 20 years ago (she saves everything), and she found a couple of old shirts that I had as a kid. One of them was the Nintendo Fun Club shirt seen here:

    Pretty cool. Now I know I never subscribed to the Fun Club, since I didn't even get an NES until xmas 1988. So I'm guessing it was sold in stores?



    There was also a Mario 3 sweatshirt with the fire chomp enemies on it, as well as a really early Simpsons shirt.
