So I scored this pretty cool lot today from Craigs list yesterday. Nintendo power complete collection from 1988-2005. Tons of Guides and swag.

Sellers Description:
"Nintendo Power: Issues 1-187

The Premier issue is included along with the variance issue 1. The Megaman X issue has a shiny

silver overlay vs. none at all.

Issues are used. Some are in better condition than others. One is missing it's cover (issue 48). Some

issues have covers over them (sent in from Nintendo).

Overall, it's a great collection any fan would be proud to own.

The boxes on these games have minimal wear and tear, like rough corners, nothing major, overall

good condition.

There is a total of 235 individual items, not including the over 100 trading cards"
He sent me these pictures




He was asking $450 for evertything pictures.  He said everything was used but in good. Shape, never removed the poster. One 48 was missing the cover (pm me if you have a decent issue 48 for same)
I told him I was intrested askes if he had any games for sale He sent me these pictures



I told him this stuff was intresting but I was more intrested in the Nintendo Power collection and asked again if he had any games. He sent my these pictures and said I could have the games for an extra $50


I told him I would do $500 for everything puctures including the extra swag
45 minute drive each way and it's all mine.

I have seen Nintendo Power Collections go for $300-$400 on ebay and they are always missing a few dont go up to 2005 and dont include a bunch of extra guides (figure guides are worth at lease $10 each x 29). Plus very heavy to ship. Instead of trying to get him down for what I really wanted, the nintendo power collection and guides, I got a ton of extra stuff with resale value. The only problem is I always buy lots and plan to sell some stuff to make some money back but end up liking suff  and keeping it
I plan on keeping the Nintendo Power Collection. I have not gone through too much of it yet, but it apears to be in great shape all things considered. I have some of the guides and a few magazies so I will be sellng the duplicates.
I am not too atached to the VHS tapes and ohter stuff so I will probally sell  that stuff.. PM if you are intrested in something particular with an offer. I think I did pretty good here.
I ended up lucking out, becaue a few of the  nintendo and zelda shirts actaully fit me! (No not the punch out zelda shirt, that is pretty intresting thought)

No i looked in Issue 95 and special issue '95 and did not see it. It did include a mario t-shirt with a dk iron on the back so I guess that is it.
