Each sticker contains the 1989 Nintendo of America Inc. copyright line.

Iconic 'black box' era Nintendo memorabilia; features early artwork of Princess Peach and Birdo; highly nostalgic for retro gaming collectors; difficult to find with the stickers still attached to the original backing in good condition.

Correct fluorescent card stock typical of the 1989 Topps Nintendo Game Pack series; authentic 1989 copyright typography; die-cut lines are clean and consistent with period manufacturing. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant softening on the bottom-left and top-right corners; light surface scuffing on the yellow backing; slight edge wear along the bottom. The stickers themselves appear to be in good alignment, but the backing board shows signs of age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for broad reach), specialized Retro Gaming buy/sell groups on Facebook, or non-sport trading card forums.
Selling Tips
Do not peel the stickers as it destroys the value. Use keywords like 'Vintage Nintendo', 'Topps 1989', and 'Super Mario Bros 2' in the title. Ship in a cardboard-reinforced bubble mailer to prevent bending.
