It's pretty easy to understand and not much argument. The full set of the collector cards are 50 cards in total, ranging from #1 to #71. They are not all in order - the ones MISSING are: 13, 18, 19, 20, 22, 31, 33, 38, 40, 44, 49, 51, 54, 57, 58, 59, 63, 64, 66, 69, 70.

Hey there, I happened upon this thread through a Google search. Does anyone still trade/sell these cards? I'm looking to flesh out my collection as well and if anyone has spares to get rid of, I'd be interested in working something out. I have a good number of them and I also have a good number of extras. Thanks!

Bumping this again.

I was organizing my closet and ran into a binder full of these from 20 years ago. I still need to go through and see which ones I have/need. Will post again once I do and hopefully could trade with some of you.

Glad you bumped this, I had just found my cards and was wondering how many it took to complete a set. Debating holding onto them or letting them go.

I just purchased the "Collectors series" set of 50 for like $25. Is that a decent price?

Also, for the regular set, I need the following:

63 - Marble Madness
68 - Star Fox
154 - Contra 3

I have all of the variants. So if anyone has those 3 in decent condition, please let me know. I'm so close!

I found the Contra one, so now I'm down to just Marble Madness and Star Fox.

I know Star Fox can be found in issue 55 a lot. Does anyone know where #63- Marble Madness can be found?

Help!

Star Fox
Virtual Boy
Mega Man X2
Mortal Kombat 3
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario World 2
Mario Kart 64

Am I missing any? Does anyone know what makes a complete set for each?

I've just finished my entire set as well and have a ton of extras. If you want, feel free to PM me.

When I was a kid and bought the collectors set, I was annoyed that it didnt have all 72, and I wrote to Nintendo to ask if they planned to make the other 22 in collectors form.  Their response was "no."

Nope, you covered them all.  I subbed to NP during the entire run of the cards.  First they stopped doing the Super Power Club Trading cards, but they still had "cards" in the back.  These are all of them.  If you haven't already, you can see the entire set in my gallery.

My fellow collectors:
I know the pain you have all been through trying ever so hard to complete your sets.  Particularly in finding card 44 without operation booby trap.  But I have some news that I'm sure will be met with a wide range of emotions.  An extremely small few might be excited, I hope.  Some of you will be mad, some will just shake your head.  Some of you I'm sure will want to curse me out (please don’t, it won’t accomplish anything).  In November of 2013, the eBay user onett_gaming listed an auction for some cards with a variation in card 120, Mega Man 4.  He listed it as an error, but I knew better.  I immediately went to my collection and my extras and discovered that I too had this card, confirming that it was not just an error, it was a 5th variation.  Based on this, I got to thinking:  I wonder how many other variations there are like this?  I grabbed my “complete” set and my extras and started going over the backs of each card with a fine-tooth-comb.  The news, depending on how you feel about what follows, was not good.  In addition to the four major variations, I found forty more variations,  plus onett_gaming’s find.  Most are extremely minor compared to the first four.  Some are flat out ridiculous and if you could reach through your computer to slap me I would welcome it.  
 
Some of you I hope for sanity’s sake will not kill yourself in trying to find these variations.  But here is a picture of all of them with differences highlighted.  These are not photo-shopped to try to make you find additional cards that dont exist.  The only added art is the red highlighting of the variations.


I get a slap for this one.  One space indented.

Another slap to me, slight indent.

added 12-18-13



Card #11.  This is probably the most deserving slap of all, I cant believe I even found this one.  Its seriously about half a space.  I almost didnt include it.


Three code, four code.


Interesting "oops"


Card #18










Slightly larger indent.




added 12-18-13

Dash, no dash.  Pretty minor.  BAD INTERN, NO DONUT!!









Found this one 3-19-14


Found this one 3-19-14

Yep, even amoung the operation booby trap cards, theres a variation.  So that means 3 of #44.  Also one of three with variations on the copyright line.


Found this one 3-19-14









added 12-18-13 Short copyright



Found this one 3-19-14



Credit to onett_gaming for this one.  Thanks for opening Pandors box.  Also notice what it did to the system and game type, ect. lines.




#127, sorry my scanner chopped the top.


I had to stack these in order to get a good picture uploaded.
This one is easiest to describe.  Look at the last word on each sentance of the description.
to levels is donkey you monkey
to levels the donkey try monkey
to levels is donkey try monkey




Third one with variation on copyright line.


Found this one 3-19-14

Im sure there are others as this took me four times through my set to find all these.  I sincerly hope not though.
 
I do still have a few extras of some of these variations and need a few myself.  Hopefully I can do some  trades for other cards to anyone interested.  If you choose to “re-complete” your sets, best of luck to you.  Here are my extras.  The description will make sense when referenced to the above pictures:
 
1 - Non indented
5 - Under R
6 - adven-
9 - non "seg-" version
11 - B indented
12 - 4 password version
15 - Players Missing
18 - Monsters one word
20 - Both
21 - Both
22 - Kidnapped one word
24 - Both
26 - Challenge under S
27 - Both
28 - boxers one word
30 - No dash
31 - Both
32 - Both
34 - Original one word
36 - Adventure one word
38 - Non Hyphen
44 - Long Copy right
60 - Bosses first line
71 - Both
72 - Higher
75 - Will
96 - Non indented
112 - score
119 - Score
120 - Non error
125 - San on top line
134 - to levels is donkey you monkey
Please note I may only have one of these, so its first come first serve.  People might also buy them from me on eBay.  I will try to update at least once a week to avoid unnecessary e-mails.
 
And here are the ones I still need (some not variations, replacing torn or damaged cards):
 
154
153 - Super NES not indented
142
134 - to levels is donkey try monkey & to levels the donkey try monkey
127 - "that" second line
125 - "San Marino" same line
95 - short copyright
75 - "happiness" second line
62
60 - 1st line end "following"
44 - Short Copy Right
38 - lev-, with-
36 - adven-
28 - Box-
26 - challenge under U
9 - Seg-
5 - challenges indented under o
1 – indented
All eight Mario Kart 64 cards
Donkey Kong country RockKrocs, Master Necky, King K Rool, and Manky Kong
 
I also found two other errors on cards, but could not find a card with it correct.  #83 Wordtris - the difficulty of the challenges is backwards (expert with novice, novice with pro).  #97  King of the Ring - The card is red, but the system listed is Game Boy.  This game was released on both NES and Game Boy so its hard to say what the correct card would have read/been.

I was about to reach through my computer and slap you silly, when I recognized your name and remembered that you were the guy who traded some cards with me at the end of 2012 (through ebay), so I'll forgive you just this time.

I'm not going to worry so much about the multitudes of variations at the moment. If I had to choose, I would pick the one with the least errors (text-wrapping instead of hyphens, proper indenting, etc.) although defining what that is could be subjective. I also consider the Gold Foil cards to be the "final" card so it would trump any variation of the preforated cards.

I'm updating my list for the ones I still need (just 3 left!) and a few I'd like to replace due to damage/bad cutting.
  • #63 Marble Madness (apparently this one is kinda rare; several others here need it too)
  • #85 Legend of Zelda (looking for replacement)
  • #139 Winter Extreme Skiing and Snowboarding
  • #141 Clay Fighter 2 (looking for replacement)
  • #161 Yoshi
  • #169 Lion King (looking for replacement)
Now here's a list of all the extras I have. (Number of dupes if any are in parenthesis.) [Variations according to coldpyro's finds will be in brackets]
If the only copies of a card I have are damaged, I'll note that next to the card:

  • #1 (melted rubber band damage)
  • #2 (x2)
  • #3 (x3)
  • #4 (x7)
  • #6 (x2) [both variations]
  • #7 (x3)
  • #8
  • #9 (x3) [both variations]
  • #10
  • #11 (x4) [both variations]
  • #12 (x6) [4-code variation]
  • #13 (x4)
  • #14 (x2)
  • #15 [missing "PLAYERS" variation]
  • #16 (x2)
  • #17 (x6)
  • #18 (x3) [both variations]
  • #20 (x5) [both variations]
  • #21 (x3) [both variations]
  • #22 [text-wrapped variation]
  • #23 (x4)
  • #24 (x3) [both variations]
  • #25 (x4)
  • #26 (x5) [extra indent variation]
  • #27 (x4) [both variations]
  • #28 (x3) [text-wrapped variation]
  • #29 (x3)
  • #30 (x3) [both variations]
  • #31 (x5) [both variations]
  • #32 (x4) [both variations]
  • #33
  • #34 (x7) [both variations]
  • #35 (x6)
  • #36 (x2) [hyphenated variation]
  • #37 (x3)
  • #38 [text-wrapped variation]
  • #39
  • #40 (x2)
  • #41 (x3)
  • #42
  • #43
  • #44 [Operation Booby Trap 1992 var.]
  • #47
  • #48 (x2)
  • #49
  • #50 (x2)
  • #52
  • #53 (x2)
  • #66
  • #71 [Text not wrapped variation]
  • #73
  • #74
  • #80
  • #82
  • #86
  • #87
  • #89
  • #94
  • #96 [extra indent variation]
  • #97
  • #98
  • #99
  • #100 (bad cutting job on left side)
  • #101
  • #102
  • #104
  • #105
  • #106
  • #108
  • #109
  • #110
  • #111 (x2)
  • #112
  • #115
  • #116 (x2)
  • #118
  • #121 (x2)
  • #122 (x2)
  • #123 (x2)
  • #125 (x2) [both variations]
  • #126 (x2)
  • #132 [red monster variation] (bad cutting job on left side)
  • #133 (bad cutting job on top side)
  • #134 (x3) [2 of 3 variations]
  • #135
  • #136
  • #138
  • #140 (x3) [both variations]
  • #149 (x2)
  • #150
  • #153 [Squaresoft variation]
  • #156
  • #157

I'm getting to the point that I'd like to start selling off my extra dupes. I'll also consider selling the cardback variations of the ones I think are "incorrect" (which I'll let you know if you ask.)

If you have any of the 6 I'm looking for, shoot me a line and let me know what you're interested in and we can work something out.
