Description
Original 1989 Nintendo Punch-Out!! sticker sheet featuring four iconic boxers: King Hippo, Great Tiger, Piston Honda, and Bald Bull. The sheet features a bright yellow background with the official series logo and 1989 copyright markings under each character. These were often distributed as promotional inserts or part of licensed Nintendo merchandise packs in the late 1980s.
Key Features
Features high-demand characters from the NES classic 'Punch-Out!!'. Iconic 1980s video game ephemera. Hard to find in unpeeled condition as most were used by children upon release.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct 1989 copyright font; accurate color saturation for period Nintendo printing; authentic die-cut lines around character heads. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant corner rounding on top right; vertical crease/pressure mark on the right edge near Bald Bull; centering is off with narrower margins on the left side; minor surface dirt/ink spotting visible on the yellow field.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for vintage Nintendo collectibles. Video game-specific auction groups on Facebook (like 'High Grade Video Game Collecting') may also yield dedicated buyers.
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to peel or flatten the crease. List with keywords 'NES', 'Vintage Nintendo', and 'Punch-Out!!'. Use a semi-rigid Cardboard Gold or Toploader to prevent further bending during shipping.
