Description
A vibrant yellow sticker sheet from the iconic 1989 Topps Nintendo Game Pack series featuring four legendary boxers from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on the NES. This sheet includes King Hippo, Great Tiger, Piston Honda, and Bald Bull. Each character is individually die-cut for removal, featuring the 1989 Nintendo copyright below the names.
Key Features
Includes fan-favorite King Hippo; iconic 1980s video game crossover with Topps; 'scratch-off' game card backing (common for this set); deeply nostalgic for retro gaming collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct card stock thickness for Topps 1989 products; specific 'Punch-Out!!' logo font; authentic 1989 Nintendo of America copyright text. Not a commonly faked card compared to sports stars.
Flaws to Note
Slight dings on the corners (especially bottom right); minor edge chipping; light surface wear visible across the yellow background; minor print dotting near the King Hippo die-cut.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (highest ceiling for video game memorabilia), Mercari (active retro game community), or specialized Facebook groups like 'Vintage Nintendo Collectors'.
Selling Tips
Do not peel the stickers. Photograph both the front and the scratch-off back. Use keywords like 'NES', 'Vintage Nintendo', and 'Retro Gaming'. Ship in a rigid top-loader and a bubble mailer to prevent bending.
