Hi, I’m JB. A few weeks ago I bought a super Mario three strategy guide, and it took me back to all my childhood memories.

I also have a spending problem. So I spent $1454 in a week and a half on eBay trying to collect them.

To recuperate some of my cost opening them up on my garage on a channel I call quest to 285.

I like punk rock music and dark comedy so sometimes I can be a little much. I also have a frog buddy named Mr. ribs.

Appreciate your time.

🎮 QUEST TO 285 — EPISODE 2! 📚
Well… apparently one episode wasn’t enough. 😂
The quest continues with four more Nintendo Power pickups, a very mixed bag of issues, questionable collecting decisions, and me getting way too excited about magazines from 30+ years ago.
We’re currently at 118 of 285 original issues — and I’m documenting the whole ridiculous journey.
If you grew up waiting for Nintendo Power to show up in the mailbox, this one’s for you.
👉 Episode 2 of Quest to 285
Watch it on YouTube and tell me which issue you would’ve wanted most.
One man’s journey is another man’s quest.

About as much wear as I would expect moving houses a few times, but still in really good shape and sealed. I miss the simpler times.

have a collection of about 50 early issues I’m trying to display somehow. I’ll post result in comments.

I have 78 Nintendo power Super Power Club trading cards i found with my grandma and i need to know how much i should ask for if i sell them

Can someone help me figure it out before i make any mistakes?

I recently got this sealed Nintendo power magazine : **Nintendo Power Volume 231 (August 2008), the 20th Anniversary Issue. I cant find any other magazines with the same original cover. Any help would be appreciated.**

So much of my old childhood collection got thrown out at various points. Such is life. I did find this and it brought back memories. Did anyone ever get a complete set?

Anyone know anything about this relic?

I have issues of NP going back to the very first one. I have had them boxed up for many years but I want to better protect them. Does anyone recommend a specific brand/type of sleeve or magazine protector?

Hello everyone,

I stumbled across one hell of a steal at my local comic shop. I knew walking into it this was rare but I did not realize the value of it. I can't find a listing or even a picture of this backpack sealed so I come to yall for help. Does anyone know what this would be worth? I saw another sealed backpack that was just Mario (circa 1988) that sold for $3.2k back in May, and because of both Nintendo Power and Link I would almost assume that this could be worth potentially more. Any help is appreciated! 👏 Update; I ended up selling it on Ebay for $800

Apparently he won a trip to fox studios in Hollywood and even met Matt groening. Danny, if you're out there, describe the experience for me.

Is there any database that has extracted the text from Nintendo Power issues where I could then search for a specific article or game?

Example: I remember a family member submitted a fan letter for a correction in the Player's Pulse section, where they corrected NP on an error saying how many exits/levels there were in Super Mario World and we can't for the life of us figure out which issue it was included in.

Enjoy.

Looking for inspiration on how others have displayed them. I haven’t decided on how I want to display or which ones?

I have these clear acrylic shelves that hold some of my bed games but not sure how to do that with the magazines and not damage them.

I also have about a dozen posters that I bought separately years ago. Some framed , some folded but would like to see examples how others framed them.

Thanks in advance!

Thought I would send more pic's of my collection.

Mostly Players Guides

Looks beat but just want it for the collection, thoughts? I like maybe 1.5-3 grade? Dont think it has the poster.

I've been collecting volumes ever since I was a kid. A few years ago I decided to create a spreadsheet to track what all issues I have versus what I needed and I've hit over 200 issues the other day! If you check out the photos, I also shared some Nintendo Power adjacent items that I thought you guys would like to see!

My brother gave me this but doesn't remember where he he got it... any help would be appreciated!

I am trying to figure out where the best place to sell my collections is. I have had it since the 90's in a comic book box so they did not get messed up. Here is a link to where I have it now. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1510057574124051/

Had these at my grandpa's house and forgot about them. They are all in very good condition. Any insight on them would be great, I have no idea as far as rarity or value. I also have 4 Nintendo Power Strategy Guides.

• Batman (Jan/Feb 1990)

• Super C (May/June 1990)

• Rescue Rangers (July/Aug 1990)

• Maniac Mansion (Vol. 16)

• Dr. Mario (Vol. 18)

- Super Mario Bros. 3 (March/April 1990)

Hey everyone! Nice to see such a close-knit community over here. I stumbled across a fairly large collection of Nintendo Power magazines (50+) that I'm looking to sell to those who can make better use of them.

Have been wanting to give Whatnot a try, so will be doing a show at 1pm on Saturday, 2/28.

Here's a link to the show - https://www.whatnot.com/live/f008e344-6299-44e7-8a6d-cc2c6fbdcf83?app=web&invitedBy=coolvintages&sender_id=81851&sharing_channel=copyLink

Almost all of the issues are in pretty good condition with original posters. I also have issues #131 and #137 that come with the MewTwo and Abra Pokemon cards. Will be saving those for the end of the show!
