Some of you may be familiar with this poster - it's the glow-in-the-dark Super Metroid poster from the Nintendo Power catalog circa 1994 (~28.5"x20.5").

-Ends 9/28/14 at 20:00 NA time (8:00 p.m. Eastern if I didn't screw that up)
-Auction starts at $20. Shipping is free to the United States ONLY via USPS priority mail. If the winner would like Priority Mail Express or another mailing option altogether (including out of the US), that will be paid by the buyer with the cost of the shipping method added to the winning bid.
-There is a 5 minute extension if someone bids within the last minute of the auction.
-Winner must pay within 24 hours of the auction's closing via PayPal.
    **** -Since I am a new user, I will ship first if the other party has a 20+ feedback score on this site, thereby changing the rule to "winner must pay within 24 hours of receiving the poster".

The poster suffered an unfortunate tear while moving a while back. I've done my best to repair the tear by very carefully using an acid-free adhesive as seen below.



A zoom in on the repaired tear:



Here you can see the poster up against a bright light source from behind to show where the patch is installed:



One of the other creases (not a tear) in the poster, right below the end of "Metroid":



Finally, one more crease in the upper left corner of the poster:



Poster #914 of 2000.



I think that about covers it, with some final notes!

• If anyone has any requests for additional pictures or information, let me know!
• While I have no feedback (yet!) on this site, I run as SpideyCU on eBay (100% 69 feedback) and MicroMacro on Heatware (6 feedback, 5 of which are as a seller) if it matters
• I have no idea what this poster is worth given the tear, but in the spirit of the 2010 sale of the same poster, if the bids get over $100, then 5% of the sale price will be donated to this site
• Let's keep all bids public - as a new user, I'd like to keep this auction as transparent as possible

Thanks!

Edit 20:01 9/21 - clarified shipping info

Nice poster dude! Just to let you know though, it is against the rules to request payment via paypal gift.

Good luck with the sale though!

Correct, you cannot require Paypal gift here.

Oooh, missed that in the rules. Thanks, let me edit that (I saw it on previous threads).

Nice poster! And welcome!

$20 (I have American contacts 4 shipping).

No shipping to Canada

Please let me know if you change your mind on this.

I'm willing to ship outside of the US! I updated the original post to be clear on 9/21. It's just that shipping will only be *free* within the US. I did that because I've no idea what shipping may run if it goes outside of the country. I apologize for the confusion.

Up to the top, and hopefully the shipping situation is cleared up! Also, a belated thanks for the kind words and welcomes.
