I traded a friend for this. Apparently it was a runner up prize to appear in one. Any idea around how much it's worth? Thanks.

Don't really have a clue, but just wanted to say that it's pretty sweet! Never seen that before. My guess, though, is maybe around 25 - 35? At least that's what I'd pay for something like it. Again, I don't really have an idea, just throwing something out there.

I'd say atleast 100. if I ever saw it listed for $100 or less I'd grab it. There is a Star Fox collector on these boards who I bet you would pay even more.

I agree with Buyatari. That thing is rare, rarer than most games, and it's Star Fox. That's a winning combination.
EDIT: Take it out of the frame. Is it signed?

And I bet they thought it was worth their freedom, didn't they? ;)

That looks a lot like a page from the normal Star Fox comic, only printed with different words...

Yeah, MercenaryFoxMcCloud would probably give you his first born son for that. :P

I distinctly recall that this was in the Super Power Club catalog, circa 1993. (The same catalog offered the Star Fox competition carts.) Anyone could order one, complete with customized name and city.
Not sure how much it would be worth, per se, but it's definitely not a one-of-a-kind item. There are probably many of them lying deep within closets across the nation.

he's right about the superclub offer, you just sent them in your name and they'd send you the comic (i got one back in the day too) neat and obscure enough,
I remeber when me and a friend were filling it out we wondered if they would let you put a dirty word for you name ;-)
ah youth

Cool. Mystery solved. So i'm guessing around the 30-50? Would you guys say that's about accurate? Thanks. I have another rare item I'm going to post tonight that you guys would die for. :)

I still say sell for 100 MIN
How many people actually sent away for that? I've seen more star fox comp carts than these (which was also a send away item)

I loved those old power club catalogs. I'll never get rid of this, because I like it and it's from a friend.
BuyAtari, If your the same guy on ebay selling the double dragon topps card, I love that. Not enough to buy it though. Why are you selling it?

I bought it a few years back and loved it at first. But now I own this. The original cover painting to the NES cover.

I never thought I'd own something like this. So the little cards don't do it for me anymore.

Take it and frame it in glass and hang it up next to your UFO stills:kiss:
