February was a good month! My favorite things to collect have always been the obscure, oddball, and almost forgotten stuff, so I'm quite happy that I was able to add these items to the collection for cheap. That being said, I am curious about their current value. There's not a lot of info out there, and the small amount that I was able to dig up is fairly outdated. 

The first item is a complete set (50 cards) of "Collector's Edition" Super Power Club cards, in mint condition. The lady I got these from took amazingly good care of her posessions as a kid, and these things are immaculate. I was able to find an auction from 2015 that ended at a little over $300, but it doesn't seem like too many sets have popped up since then. I really like these cards, they look amazing, especially with the gold foil.



The second item is a Chinese version of Adventure Island III (DMG-216 CHN, For China Only) for the Game Boy. Scoring this was kind of a fluke. I was paying for a few other items at a local Book Off, when I glanced at a big bag of Game Boy commons, and this one caught my eye. I assumed it was the Japanese version, and I just grabbed it because I like the series. 3 bucks, why not. I was pretty surprised when I got home and took a better look at it. And yes, I went back first thing in the morning and dug through the rest of that bag, no other gems to be found though. I can't find much of anything regarding price (and even general info about these releases is kind of scare), but it definitely seems like one of the harder to find CHN games. It's in great condition as well.



If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Anybody? It's kind of weird finding Nintendo stuff that hasn't been discussed to death.

I bought a Nintendo Power magazine over the weekend that still had the subscriber-exclusive cards inside. I haven't had a chance to look at it very closely, but it had a Batman game on the cover and a blurb teased a preview of Link's Awakening for Game Boy (one of my favorite games). Can't wait to check it out when I catch up on this UltraHDMI stuff  

Also found a Wii U console that had been ripped from a retail kiosk display. Haven't had a chance to look at that yet either.

I loved keeping all my cards and catalogs when I subscribed from 1995 January Bonus Issue until the mid 2000s. I once lent all of my issues featuring N64 games to a neighborhood kid that just got an N64, then his mother threw them all away just a couple days later  

Speaking of cards, I have the full sheet of uncut Killer Instinct cards from the Nintendo Power Super Power Supplies catalog.
