I'd like to thank the staff members of NintendoAGE in regards to the Member Spotlight.
It was truly an honor to be featured

I've included some photos of the few momentos i've kept having attended the Nintendo World
Championships 1990 at Universal Studios Hollywood, California. Hope you enjoy !

In the pics:   My sorta worn out NWC 1990 ballcap ( yes, I wore it with pride in public )
Friends of mine came along for the Nintendo event which explains the extra event program copies.
The Powerfest competition admission ticket  gave you three chances to make onto the PowerWalk .
The Super Mario plush doll was given out to those who participated in the qualification rounds.
The Powerfest 1990 ad clipping was from the  Los Angeles Times "Calendar" section printed 
Sunday, October 7, 1990

NOTE: The Pocket Power copies were obtained after 3 screenings of The Wizard in Hollywood in '90
Yes, I did it all for the quick glimpse of Super Mario Bros. 3

"Show Kong who's really King" hahaha... that's awesome. Good job keeping all that stuff!

-------------------------

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...

That's funny I also wanted that NWC painters cap, too!  I kept seeing people with them on
around the PowerWalk.

Yeah, I realized the Competition admission tickets were different from locations which the NWC
was held - interesting.
